    Robertson taking on this critical position is another dagger in the fire Ford crowd. 

    Are you implying the coach should be spearheading these NIL fundraising groups? I would rather the institution run the show. The possibility of the coach having too much power is quite the poison pill for regime change.

    I don't know if Troy is the right person to lead but it makes sense to have a Chaifetz School of Business graduate at the helm. Along with being a former player and current broadcaster he makes sense for the initial leader. They may find a better beurocrat in the future but he seems a solid pick to get the baby birthed and on the ground.

  2. I hate the whole concept of our defense. Pass goes in the interior and the closest help defender leaves his man, not to double the ball, just to hang out halfway between his man and the ball. It's just far enough to to be absolutely a nonfactor on the ball and also leaves an open 3 point shooter. Either double or play straight up. We do not have the long quick defenders needed to succeed in that defense.

  3. When I came into Billiken fandom my frosh year in 97-98 we had 3 guys who could take point guard minutes: Jamall Walker, Corey Frazier, and John Redden.

    The next year it was Walker, Redden, and Dave Fergerson.

    The next year it was Fergerson, Redden, and Marque Perry.

    It wasn't until after Ferguson and Redden left that we switched to a primary PG and one backup. In 01 it was Perry with Josh Fisher as backup.

    It seems the 3rd PG is a role of the past at SLU. Perhaps it only existed at a time when SLU had failed to recruit a star PG but it was mostly effective with the guys that played in that rotation.  With guys like Perry, Mitchell, Jett, Goodwin, Collins, etc. it became unnecessary due to lack of available minutes. I would love to have a combo guard who plays 8 minutes at PG and 8 at SG. Got to have a true backup PG. Guys get injured, sick, fail classes, and all sorts of crappy luck. There isn't really an excuse for having a contingency plan at PG if that happens.
