Triangle andToo Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Here goes, listen up. 1. Triangle is shocked that nobody (apologies if Too missed it) picked up on the quote from Cody Ellis. "We basically gave up in the second half". Don't remember any athlete in any sport leveling this criticism on himself, his teamates and coaching staff. "Everything we did in the first half, we did the exact opposite in the second-". Why -"THE EXACT OPPOSITE IN THE SECOND" ???????? Answer - it is coaching people. 2. Assistant coaches - what are they there for? Is there not one assistant coach than can work on free throws - is it just a lost cause? What input do they have during a game, they seem too be Coach Majerus and Coach Moser clones - don't rock the boat. Didn't they hear that unemployment benefits have been extended for 13 months. 3. Coach Majerus's future. Let's all face it, he is not very healthy and getting up there in years and he really needs too make his health his very first priority. Triangle remembers back at Too's University of Arizona and how recruiters used Lute Olson's age and health conditions against commiting. Thankfully Coach Olson's family stepped in and said enough is enough. Father time and as the number of pill bottles mount up in the medicine cabinet - well. When it is time - our associate head coach should not be promoted. 4. Fan dissatisfaction - The truth is - we can do nothing. With some promise for next year, season tickets will be about the same. The big hit this year has been in virtually NO walk-up gate and will continue for the rest of the year, have you noticed that scalpers are suffering from extreme weight loss. Booing college players and coaches, wearing brown paper bags, wearing brown paper bags with no holes cut intoo them so we don't have too watch, even at home? Any communications with athletic administration is met with "well, we lost our 2 best players." What about the improvement in the players we have - none. 5. Bernie interview - A friend called and clued Triangle in on an interview on 101.1 on Thursday with Coach Majerus (evidently he does this every Thursday). From what Too was told admittedly second hand, Coach Majerus went through a list of St. Louis players that he couldn't land because they went too bigger conferences (BCS) and that the Atlantic 10 was a problem in recruiting. WHAT! Did he think that Saint Louis University was going too join a BCS conference? Did he think that joining the MVC would have helped in recruiting these players? If you can add too this interview please do. Triangle is starting too wonder why Coach Majerus accepted this job in the first place. 6. BEAT St. Joseph. We have too - We must - Make Noise! See everyone courtside at the game! so it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What input do they have during a game, they seem too be Coach Majerus and Coach Moser clones - don't rock the boat. Didn't they hear that unemployment benefits have been extended for 13 months. During the one of the nationally televised games this week, I believe it eas Wisconsin at Michigan State, the announcers talked about a drill that Wisconsin uses to practice free throws. At each practice, the team breaks up into teams of 3. The teams then shoot free throws for x amount of time. One point is awarded for each one made, two points are awarded for not touching the rim, and a negative point is awarded for a miss. At the end of the competition, the losing team gets to run 20 laps or some such punishment. Since practices are closed, I have no idea how much emphasis is put on free throws in practices. But, apparently, some of the better teams think they are important. Wisconsin made 11 of 12 that night, but lost in overtime. The Billikens do not have the luxury of missing free throws. They have got to get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have got to get better. We should borrow the soft pillow bat from 2 1/2 men to beat and hack our guys immediately before practice free throws. It is totally another thing to make free throws after being slammed to the floor rather than standing around in the gym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
