Im still not sold on McCottry and ball handling. Just remember too many TO’s and bone headed plays.

PR move for CM

How do teams like UD and VCU consistently get P5 games? They win alot of games, travel well. CJS needs to do the same, but I maintain it should be against the BEST non P5 teams we can, in home and home series. Play and beat the best non P5 teams you can find, they will come to us. SLU should reestablish a relationship with the StLouis Sports Commission (if it still exists). Establish a 4 team tourney here, play it at the Dome, or the Savvis even. A double header. Good teams, non P5 within 100 mi of StL. Memphis, DePaul, Murray State, Northern Iowa, High Point, Stony Point, heck even the Blue Point Oysters if they have a team and are good. Make StL a bball destination. If the P5 wont play us, let's stop whining about it. We are stuck with our league, so do like the women's soccer team, go out and get the best schedule you can. Not for the fans, but for the team to tell them they're good and we will bring in the best teams we can to show the bball world how good we are. No more pisx asx teams that dont build confidence for our men. End of rant mhg

Was he defended the way GJ was defended last year? He was literally mugged every night, especially in the league games.

What we need is a state rep to do like the Louisville rep did in KY…..filibuster in the state house til Mi$$ou agrees to play us. My recollection is he held up the state funding for UK til they agreed to play.

My favorite moments at the old Kiel were the NIT games. So loud and exciting. I remember one of my MD peers, normally a quiet and composed man, leaning over the rail at the end of the court with one of those circular horns with the big rubber bulb on the end, squeezing away to make noise when the opposing team was shooting free throws. Great memories. Thanks for stirring those times for me. mhg

Wow! Wouldn’t recognize him with the short hair

No Super Bowl?

Please, don’t encourage him

Have heard that multiple times from my buds at the Y…an unimpeachable source LOL

Is this an AD or coaching staff issue, or both?

Alithos Anesti (from another Greek!)

Just was thinking the same thing. A buyout clause adds to the likelihood a player stays.

Hold 20% of the $ at the end of the season, go to the portal, you lose it

Ha ha ha!

Yeah, he probably scored enough, but the guy he was supposed to defend scored more.

Or the player gets his act together and has a Conklin summer, gains 25 pounds and help himself and his team.

Roy, As far as I know, none of the asst coaches have left. Plus, we have the luxury of a HC with a well thought out system to maximize the talents of his players. There will be development of these players. He’s already said Pikaar gained 15 lbs during the season and wants him to gain another 10 or so. He allowed McCottrey to develop early in the season til he had confidence in him at crunch time. Yes, it’s not like before, but I have confidence in his magic. I’ve never heard a coach talk like him before. Even Romar’s gift with words cant compare to HCJS’s message. I can’t wait to see what we have next year. mhg

That would be Zach if SLU were there!!!

No D Attitude issues

But then there WAS the fight in the stands at Chaifetz this year

I believe I heard we have won twice this year as a road underdog. Davidson was one, don’t know the other. Let’s make it a trifecta!

Did you not listen to the coaches post game press conference? Or his post game comments with Rammer and Earl? You get playing time based on how you practice. Most coaches say that. Schertz believes it. After the rest of the midweek bye The scout team beat the starters three straight times. He saw that these guys had matured and done better. He promised he would play them in the first 10 minutes of the game, he did, and they delivered. I’m sure they’ll get an opportunity on the road tonight against Davidson. We’ll just have to see how it plays out. I believe Schertz is a thinking man’s coach. He has reasons for everything he does. We will be fine.

That tells me if you’re good enough, you’ll play. As it should be.

I remember this as well
