"hey I am fine with crews getting the job. he had a heck of a year as the coach under a difficult scenario.

Pistol Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I actually think Roy's position there in 2013 is pretty solid. He said he'd rather have another guy but that it's kinda what May had to do. He also said what Crews had to do with the roster, and he was right. Crews failed to follow up that big class with anything. He didn't recruit the right guys for his system. He failed to develop any of them or adapt to the players he had. And he's right that anyone could've succeeded with what Majerus left him - a core of guys that could run his system on autopilot for two years. And the more Crews got involved, the worse they were (they were at their most efficient in 2012 and least in 2014, basically relying on Jett to make big shots at the end of every game their senior year). The interviews with former players from that era on @The House That Rick Built podcast have also confirmed this to be the case. They had Rick's lessons drilled in for two years, played 2012-2013 on autopilot, and Crews forced himself into things more when they were seniors. They collapsed at the end of that season after he overpracticed them and tried to implement other things. RUBillsFan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just pointing out the hypocrisy of calling me a troll for suggesting Crews wasn’t terrible his role with Majerus' guys while also holding that same belief in 2013 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I really appreciate his statistical / analytical contributions to the board. BUT Him changing his avatar to the Crews picture was troll-ish behavior. I'm done talking about Crews because it puts me in a bad mood and seems to bring out negative attitudes for everyone on the board. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At the end of the show last week. Rammer said this week's show would be a 'Special Coach's Show'. The team of course is in Amherst.

HoosierPal Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 Couple other points from Frank's interview today with Coach: He said that he was probably as upset in the UMass locker room as he has been for awhile. We need to regroup....no one is feeling sorry for us, we can't hang our head, as we have one of the toughest challenges coming into Chaifetz. Frank remarked that every year Ford has been down to a short bench at the end of the year. Hargrove was set back 2 or 3 days with his ankle. Hankton was out of action for 2 or 3 weeks with his bad back. KC came back 4 or 5 days ago. Both should be ready for more action Friday. Of the remaining players only Goodwin and French played in last year's A10 Tourney, so only they know what it takes to win the tourney. On Collins, Frank talked about his offensive inconsistency. He has played most of the season with two bad hands, and before Christmas they were really bad. He won't sit out practices. They have been working with him on his floaters. In HS he just beat defenders to the rim. College ball is different for him. Ford said sometimes he needs to slow down and don't rely on instincts. He is learning those things. Fred practices 30 to 40 minutes per day. Frank: "How do the two redshirts effect recruiting?" Ford: "We feel good where we are at. A couple of pieces we would like to add." VCU picked preseason #1. Veteran team. Two preseason all conference picks. 8 pm game. Blue Out Night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Here's hoping for a PG and an athletic shooting big who can defend at the 4 spot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
