TheA_Bomb Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 "It's absolutely uncalled for this kinda scoring." Sounds like he's going to cry. Rammer and Earl verbally step in.

Dr Bird Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Anyone who watches this team can see they are so undisciplined. too many times we need to make 1 extra pass and instead throw up a prayer. it's like the kid on the Y team who's parents paid him for points billikenbill likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Elrond Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Well, we just played two of our best chances to win some games at home the rest of the season, and came away with nothing. Things are not looking up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billiken_roy Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 The offensive rebounds was the difference. Most of those turn into putbacks. The lack of fundamentals and consistent effort in this team is horrible. What exactly do they practice? thatskablamo likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUAvtr Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I'm thinking there's still some SERIOUS dissention in the ranks. Those of you that didn't watch the broadcast, as they were cutting back in from the crash in the last timeout, they showed the Billiken huddle and one of the guys started punching the side of his head. Then he looked to get even more pissed, turned around and sat down before the huddle broke, looking supremely pissed off... that player was none other than one Mr. Parker. This isn't a team... it's a group THINKING they're a team. I just don't know anymore... thatskablamo and JMM28 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s almost as if this group just started playing basketball and Ford just types in “what’s a good basketball offense?” on his search engine, which is probably Yahoo. We are the most archaic team in any level of intercollegiate basketball, Chicago State included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I just went back to the final media timeout in the broadcast and I didn't see what you're talking about. He's visible behind the huddle sitting down and back up on the bench. Just curious exactly when this happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy II Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 -so our leading scorer at halftime doesn't see the floor until over 15 minutes gone in the second half -then the head coach goes on the postgame interview and says "everybody needs to play" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious exactly when this happened. For sure, but he looked like he did NOT like the fact he wasn't being put in the game. And it wasn't the final media timeout, I believe it was one of the under one minute timeouts it happened. I can't go back and look currently, so finding it may be tough, but it happened. I said to myself WTF when it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseman Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Ford talks about how the team can not defend their man and it is up to them to do that. Well, why can't they defend their man one on one? Well there are two reasons: 1. they are not athletic enough to do it - whose fault is that maybe the guy who recruited them. 2. have they been coached properly to defend - whose fault is that maybe the guy who is supposed to be teaching them. If the players are being defiant and not listening to the coaches then whose fault is that - maybe the guy who is not holding them accountable. I am sorry, he did sound defeated but honestly when will he actually accept responsibility for what is happening instead of blaming the players all the time. No wonder the team is a mess. This game was lost yes as Roy said second chance put backs but also UMass won virtually all the 50/50 balls. We just couldn't stop them ever and when we did we squandered the opportunity on our offensive side. I am not sure what he does now but tonight was basically the same thing we have seen all year. Chaifetz was here and I wonder what he is thinking now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll, the Major League Pickleball season starts Feb 7th in Los Angeles, that’s probably on the top of Dr Chaifetz’s thoughts… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Earl and Rammer step in and say 'yeah we've seen a lot of ball and....." to save him Ford is not a stupid man. He's been coaching for 27 years and was a GREAT basketball player before that. He knows what he's watching, he knows what's wrong with this team. He recruited those soft guys and guys who are out of shape and guys who are too little to play D1 hoops. He brought them here and knew they wouldn't be able to play defense. Where's Goodwin and French on this roster? Hell, where's Okoro? He's absolutely right that opponents are scoring an "uncalled for" amount of points. This defense is worse than swiss cheese: there is nothing there. His best recruit is Ezewiro and the guy is literally delaying the game laying on the floor to try and get a break because he's exhausted and out of shape. LOST RECRUITING CLASS.
