If that is what we are practicing, then why don't we turn Husak into Jim McIlvaine, anchor him to the free throw line and teach him to catch and pass.
-
I hope you are wrong, otherwise we will kill the development of Husak.
Ian is playing over 31 minutes a game, it can only go up next year.
-
With Ian having trouble getting the ball, I'd have moved him outside a bit and brought in Husak to play the middle.

We need Shooter to get off the sauce and start scouting these teams in the A-10. We are facing too many new styles of play and are taking our lumps the first time through the conference.
Could we possibly make any more passes from 5 feet beyond the 3 point arc in one game? It looked like we were playing 4 corners.
-
Which team do you think will be better by the start of conference play?
-
You know I was talking to Shooter the other day and he mentioned how the boys are really going to have to come together as a team next season. They could have used some more of that this season.
He wishes Coach Soderberg well in breaking in the young colts next year, as they will need to produce. We pretty much agree that the Drejaj kid played on one of our Hickory teams.

Why, do you have something against this place?
You jinxed the team with your pre-season prediction.
-
Now that is optimistic.
8-5 is pretty mediocre.

...up to now the picks have been relatively easy going. After this weekend, it is going to be a real nailbiter for the rest of the season.
We are clearly a competitive team that will be in every game, but I suspect may also have one or two down shooting nights that may sting us. When will they be?
It will be fun.

...that I'd be up there with Iggy if the New York State Commission hadn't permanently suspended me from coaching, thus forcing me to forget to supply a pick for the last game!

My team is on the court
-
...of both programs, let me say you are doing a nice job of playing yourself as a fool.
I would be overjoyed if somehow the game got moved here or to a neutral site.

I've seen them, the real sad ones. They sit around talking about the glory days when they were seventeen years old.

We have a sad one here. I wonder if this fellow has a special affection for Lute Olsen?
-
...that statement come from someone who I am quite sure you are genetically related to.
Sorry you missed the nuance. But then based on your previous efforts with the written word, you are likely unaware of the meaning of nuance.

There's two types of dumb guys one that gets naked, goes outside and barks at the moon. The other is standing in my living room. First one don't matter, second one you're kinda forced to deal with.
At least this is better than the B-Ball versus Soccer discussion.

The positive offensive memories I have of his play have been athletic, to the hole moves. Can he shoot?
What is the issue here: offense, defense, toughness?
Are we to be terrible suprised that a thin (very), European type (OK Israeli) player may lack some of the toughness that Brad desires?
My initial sense of Ian, who is only 18, a freshman, and in a new county, is that he is a bit timid. I am not expecting a ferocious competitor to be unleashed for conference play.
They are all kids who's game will develop through coaching, but I was hoping for more from Izik.
-
I think the point will be reinforced if we don't have 100% effort tonight. Sloan can't do it all.
-
TF better say out of foul trouble, too
-
4 passes before a shot and no zone defense tonight

Entering the season I heard of the A-10 reputation as a guards league, but now I see it. St. Joe's guards pushed our guys way outside the arc (thus my earlier comment that we looked like we were playing 4 corners.) When that happens there is no way Ian's getting the ball unless he steps out. Luckily for us, I think him stepping out suits us well as: IV has skills he can use there (after all he is a European big man), it opens the floor for playmaking (L&L) and it allows aggressive play/rebounding (LM). It also, and I say this tongue in cheek, puts him in better rebounding position for our missed 3 pointers.
