How often do you get to practice against an NBA first round pick? Watching this practice would have been worth the price of a game ticket.

You elected to disagree or ignored it or whatever. Fine. You have changed my opinion 0%, just as I have change yours's 0%. Realize that just because someone doesn't agree with your opinion, it isn't wrong. Get over it. Jump ball. Which way does the possession arrow point?

Taj79 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Hoosier -- page 4, this thread, fourth post from the bottom, specially pointed me (@Taj) out and where to listen on the tape (7:45) . I didn't listen because you quoted it. So if you weren't saying these guys know who Bonner and Hughes are, what were you saying? That Bonner explained to French about heart and mind. Help me out here. And you NEVER told me how Bonner being drafted affected that class. And that was in the "Seat Warm" thread. All you did was point out who came in. And not even by name. I did that. You never explained to me how Bonner's draft status played into the recruitment of three guards lewt alone a skinny power forward. All you said is it happened. So here's the question ... how did Bonner getting drafted affect the recruitment and signing of Julian WInfield, Erwin Claggett, Scott Highmark and Eric Bickel? I am not disagreeing. I am not ignoring. I am seeking recruiting conversion from someone who knows something here but isn't telling. If this were a jump ball, I'm still waiting for you to stop prancing around the circle and get in here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierPal Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 This AM, on Sports on a Sunday Morning, Coach explained the hard hats. He gave them out Thursday. We had gotten away from what we do best - physical, aggressive, defensive play. He wanted to change the mood, change the mind set of the team. Hence the hard hats. They give out stickers for the hats for positive plays, effort, etc. He called the defense v LaSalle the best of the season. They were the hottest team coming into the game, winning 5 of 6, scoring 75+ ppg in those 5. He made no changes on defense during the game - something quite unique. This week the staff will be off recruiting early, both locally and nationally. They want the team to get healthier and get academics back on track. They will begin prep for Dayton on Thursday. He complimented Bonner (and Hines) for helping out twice. Bonner gets to practice early, warms up, stretches, and takes this very seriously. His mentoring of the team has been very valuable. Coach says Tommy Liddell and Larry Hughes may come and help out later this week. Pistol, Quality Is Job 1 and Zink like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HoosierPal Posted February 19, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2019 Here we go again, Rammer and Coach Ford, Feb 18: Numbers showed LaSalle the best D of the season. Points per possession for LaSalle was 0.62 in first half. Second half 0.75. Goal is to keep opponent under 0.9. Coach said he saw the team was focused before the game. They were quite in the locker room, which is what this team does when it is ready. It is not a 'rah-rah' locker room. In LaSalle's winning streak they were hitting 10 to 11 three's per game. They hit the details on guarding three's and stopping dribble penetration in practice. Remarked that during the losing streak, several players got an F grade; they didn't contribute anything. (Players are graded every game for total game effort.) He has gotten back to focusing on us rather than the opponent. It's all mental now. No new plays. Everyone knows what is expected. LaSalle game - Isabell's best game of the season, not only stats but how he influenced the game. Isabell got inside of LaS defense early in the game which opened up the the game for us. Talked about Isabell's big smile when at the FT line late in the game. Coach said his body language is read wrong a lot of time. ? from audience at the Fieldhouse: Who picks out uniform for each game? Day before game players are asked which one they want to wear. Supposed to wear white or gray. But if you want a dark, you notify the visitors and ask them to bring their light unis. On road, we more or less wear blue or black. Sometimes when we win, Coach stays with the same uni. He said no one really cares. Black on Saturday was because the Students were having "Black Out Day". Coach complemented BenFred's article on the student section. (Coach said attendance is down everywhere, including Kentucky where you can now get tickets.) Text on Injured Players: This bye week is unusual. He would rather play with two wins in the book. But we do need this week to get healthy. Jacobs did more today than he has in a month. Practiced 40 minutes at 60%. KC looked better today. Goal is to have both back by Saturday. Bess was held out today, again. (He sneaked back into a drill after being told 'No'- Coach wasn't happy.) Coach wants him to do nothing until Thursday. Players weights are checked daily. Everyone is staying in the range where they need to be. High on putting calories back into their bodies after practice. Every player has a different item to put back what they lost in practice. Welmer still wants to try and play. He was running today. Coach said it will be difficult for him to get back this year, but never say never. Coach had a 45 minute conversation with his doctor a few days ago. "Tough decisions ahead for Welmer, his doctor, his family and the team." Text, Do you have a favorite song that the pep band plays?: Coach spoke to band after the game Saturday at their 'get together'. "I really enjoy you guys. When I come out the first thing I see and hear is the pep band. It gets me fired up." Didn't pin point a favorite song. Rammer said National Anthem singers have been 'off the chart' great. But he enjoys when the band plays it. Game Day presentation is really good. Coach talks to recruits about the Game Day experience and shows video of it. Lot's of schools lack substance here. Text, do you get to pay attention to other local sports team? Cardinals a little bit. Goes to games in the summer when he can. He follows the Blues but doesn't know much about hockey. (Learned about it at UMass.) Timing is bad for him to go to Blue's games. Rammer: What do you like about living in a city larger than Amherst, Stillwater, Richmond KY? Being a small town boy, he didn't know what to expect when moving here, but he and his family enjoys living in STL. This is the biggest town he has lived in. Likes the school options for his kids, culture options, going out to dinner at different restaurants. "STL really doesn't feel that big." Playing at Dayton this weekend. One of the top 5 to 10 places to play in college. Have 100+ sellouts in a row. Even with more bodies, not sure how much Hankton and Jacobs can contribute.

almaman Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 One thing Hankton can do (EW) too if he's in tennis shoes, is to come in on offense for French in last minute or so each have to counter balance hack a shaq treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLU_Nick Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Injury news is very encouraging. If we have a good showing at Dayton (win), then I am going to be waving the pom poms calling for the NCAAs or bust. It is going to be really hard considering we embarrassed them at our place.

We embarrassed them because Thatch and Foreman shredded the scouting report. We need a low scoring game or it could be a long afternoon.

CBFan Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I think knowing what song coach Ford likes is fun for me, I love the Budweiser song I enjoy the tuba's out in center court. The coaches show should be fun with some news and the news was that Hankton and Jacobs will probably play and Welmer wants to play. I really appreciate HP's summary posts of the coaches show I need to remember that the show is on and start listening in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best coaches show ever was Charlie Spoonhour and Jack Buck that was must listen radio. Those two characters were great together. Coach Ford has a lot of positive energy and is a good marketer of the Billikens for the casual fan I still think he will get us to the big dance. Coach Ford is the reason I will upgrade my season tickets next season and move to the lower bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
