I have absolutely zero doubt that our coaches talked to him about arc. It’s simple physics that a flat shot gives you less margin for error than a higher arcing shot. It’s impossible that the coaches didn’t notice how flat JGood’s shot was (think about all the times he would stand at the free throw line and throw up a line drive that would bounce straight off of the back heel of the rim). I don’t think this has anything to do with our coaches not doing their jobs. Sometimes, you just need a fresh set of eyes and a new voice to get it to finally sink in. Somebody already said his shooting numbers went up every year. Maybe he just found a little tweak in his mechanics that finally got it to click. Happens all the time. Doesn’t mean Ford and Co. are bad coaches.

This is what I’ve had problems with. It comes and goes for me.

Interesting that 3 of his 9 offers are A10 teams (SLU, UMass, Bonnies)

Haha. Was just saying that.

Turnbull looks soft and any ball below his waist, he’s not gonna catch. But Miller, jeeze, every time he got the ball outside of about 3 feet, you just knew it was coming…a drive into 3 defenders and a forced up bad shot. Every single time. BBE’s rebounding was atrocious.

It isn’t just this game either. He’s the reason they’re losing right now.

I realize Brandon Miller is a 5*, but he’s gotta learn to pass the ball. Jeeze.

It all started at the end of the 3rd, a kid from Mean Streets hit one from about 26 feet. I’m not sure if it was the very next possession, but pretty close, Kramer answered hitting one from the damn parking lot. After that it was all Kramer and Thames to end the 3rd.

Nick Kramer WENT OFF at the end of the 3rd quarter. Two 3’s and an alley pop assist to Thames on consecutive possessions. Kramer is up to 8 points.

Just turned on the game. Have Thames and Kramer done much in the first half?

Or assuming that there weren’t black coaches along the way that felt the exact same way Hanlen does. I’m not going to turn this political (because there’s really nothing political about this tragic story), i don’t care if you’re left or right, it’s just crazy to me how the whole world seems to have turned into a pressure cooker.

For anyone who’s interested, there are 2 really good episodes of the Revisionist History podcast where he touches on some of this stuff through the context of educational inequality and how easy it can be to get sucked into that kind of life. I’m not ashamed to admit that the episode “Carlos Doesn’t Remember” brought me to tears.

I hear you. Beal basically came out and said “We know the story. Today’s not the day for it.”

From what I can tell, people aren’t upset about the telling of Cam’s story. It’s the timing. That stuff doesn’t have to be said right now. Give it some time.
