DeSmetBilliken Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 12 minutes ago, TFord and TRavs said: I forgot where majerus’s unique coaching style was what Travis Ford has said he is emulating. It's not necessarily Majerus' unique style. Some coaches like the energy a player brings coming off the bench a few minutes after tip-off. More important than the starting lineup is who is on the court when the game is close at the end. 11 minutes ago, TFord and TRavs said: Best players on the court at all times. So we pick the 5 best players, have them play the whole 40 minutes, and everyone else just sits on the bench? Yeah, that's a good idea.

RiseAndGrind Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I like Rothstein’s lineup. Goodwin must be a force (obviously?) if he’s taking over the starting roll from last years best player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying roby won’t get bench minutes but he won’t be the first off the bench at least towards the end of the season. Anthony, bishop, foreman, graves and Welmer and roby will be competing for the 6-9 spots left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slusam Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 8 hours ago, TheChosenOne said: There is typically not much to report from a practice beyond injury updates and quotes from the coaches and players (depending on who is made available). Are posters on here expecting Stu not to address the current cloud over the program? I assume for all of us more die hard fans of the program, that is the biggest thing on our minds. I thought his article mentioning the current situation, first time injury updates, and quotes from Ford was what I would expect to see. Chosen, I have been going to Billiken games since you were in diapers (1987). Does that qualify me as die hard? To be honest I am just glad we are back to talking basketball and getting excited for the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality Is Job 1 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 2 hours ago, DeSmetBilliken said: By the way, I have no dispute with the starting 5 mentioned by Rothstein. I have a dispute with it. I'd like to have at least one player taller than 6-7 in the starting lineup, if the roster has such players. French will probably battle foul trouble throughout his career — and especially during his freshman season — and it may be even worse if he's regularly matched up against a back-to-the-basket big a lot. And I shudder to think of Johnson guarding a 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
