JohnnyJumpUp Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 2 hours ago, Old guy said: It is a lot more than a test of the teams, it is a test of the coaches as well. We can win as long as Ford takes over and LEADS the team. Take Yuri out the moment he starts dribbling slowly up the court and throwing rocks. Ford needs to keep the team going. The only time Yuri starts dribbling slowly up the court is when the coaches ask him to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 15 minutes ago, The Wiz said: One thing I failed to mention in the original report that is important is about Franklin the ineligible Mem player I listed in the Injury and misc area. He was their leader in scoring(17.8 pts) and rebounding (6.9 rebs)...4 Dou Dou...started 26 games...10 games of 20+pts...season highs of 28pts and 14 rebs and 6 assists. This is a significant loss for Mem. They didn't need him against Vandy but his absence will be felt against The Bills. Damaria Franklin wasn't Memphis's leading scorer or rebounder. He's a 6'4 guard who put up those numbers as a senior at Illinois-Chicago, who finished 8th in the Horizon. He's jumping up a couple of levels. Whenever he becomes eligible, Franklin should be a nice role player for Memphis. The Wiz likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, sometimes players just need to catch their breathe. If you exert a great effort on the defensive end for a long possession, it doesn't make sense to come sprinting back the other way if there is no clear opportunity to break - especially for a player who is usually going to play about 33-35 mpg.

It’s amazing that someone who admittedly knows very little about basketball feels the need to explain what the coach should do.

Quick question, has a Billiken ever had 13 assists and zero turnovers before the MSU game? People have lost all perspective on Collins. When he is gone from this program, you will feel the pain for a long time. Just remember many, not just a few thought Yuri should have 3/1 or more ( some even 5/1) assist to turnover ratio. All you need to know regarding this board and Yuri. Fraz likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Be sure and give Memphis PG Kendric Davis a warm welcome tomorrow night. “I (watch film) a little bit. Not too much,” he said. “I just feel like, no disrespect, I’m a bad (expletive). I don’t need to really. I respect everybody. So, I don’t need to watch nobody to respect them less or respect them more. I just feel like I know what’s coming. I know they got a good guard in Collins – Yuri. But I feel like I’m good, too. So, I’m ready for that.” Compton likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember it before the basketball games, but I've been real annoyed by the warnings before soccer games about, basically, reminding everyone to be a pu$$y. "No heckling players, refs, or other fans." Bite me. That's what fans are for. There's a line that shouldn't be crossed, but we need to walk that line tomorrow night.

There’s also a big difference between the student section giving it to student athletes and adult fans doing it. I’d argue that’s part of what a student section is for, as long as it’s nothing overly personal. As a grown man, I’m happy to direct my wrath towards the refs.

Few people would bat an eye if a student athlete heckled adult fans, there's just a level of taste necessary when it's the other way around. IE this Kendric Davis cat. He came in talking sh!t, he should expect sh!t talked back. He deserves it. More importantly, we all know we shouldn't rely on the student section to bring the energy and enthusiasm. I hope they prove me wrong tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want to see Ford leading SLU to a defeat by blind trust in what he does, or do you want to light a fire under Ford to keep things moving, and keep Yuri passing the ball to shooters and not trying to show what a great shooter he is (which he is not). I may not know as much basketball as you do. I also do not trust that this coach will keep the team moving when it is necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ya I'll be giving the refs an ear full per usual lol. I just remember hearing some bozo yelling at Yuri/ slu players through the TV the entire George mason game (not 100% sure it was them). That stuff is weird in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with that (bolded) but that doesn't mean I like it and it doesn't mean he shouldn't have to hear about it. The refs will certainly be hearing it lol we're on the same page there. As for yelling at players, again, it totally depends on the execution. I don't think expletives are necessary, the obvious exceptions of insults to race/sexuality/etc, but keep it all PG-PG13 and it's totally appropriate. It can most definitely affect their performance if fans are in their head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 It’s college. Let the kids have fun. Heckling, if humorous, is fun. I remember back in the late 70s NC State had a big man, Washburn I think, who had been suspended for a game because he stole some kid’s stereo and tapes. When he played against Duke a Cameron the fans threw tape cassettes on the floor during warmups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with offering free food. That's college sports everywhere unless you're blue blood or bumf*cknowhere town like Dayton. Even then I'm sure they do things to get them to the game. Do you think all those kids just showed up in powder blue tshirts for their game against SMU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of free pizza, what was up with all the free Papa Johns pizza they were handing out to fans near the Chaifetz Pavilion, during the Evansville game? Was that just a one time thing or are they going to be doing that throughout the season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may not know as much basketball as you do. I also do not trust that this coach will keep the team moving when it is necessary. You’re probably right. I spoke with Coach Ford a couple of weeks ago and he said “Jim, do you know Old Guy on Billikens.com? If so please thank him. I really do a much better job of coaching when he keeps me on my toes.” You keep that fire burning dennis_w likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
