Steinbeck's writing is "flowery?" LOL. Now, if you want to talk about Henry James or Joseph Conrad, then I can understand. But Steinbeck, seriously? "Technical writing" may not be the goal of every writer or considered by everyone the apex of writing styles for all situations.

Steinbeck is my favorite American author, but Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying" is da bomb. Hemingway ... meh. My posts are not for everyone, not for those who have succumbed to paragraph-a-phobia. Feel free to skip, 'cause I ain't changing.

Another question is how much of Miles Kelly's difficulties being a mainstay player last season had to do with Stoudamire's system? I wonder if Pearl will run a ton of double screens for Kelly and make more of an effort to get him open looks than we did?

G Good! Let's get down to definitions for clarity. I would differentiate role players from mainstay players by the following: A mainstay player will be the focus of the opposition game planning, but the player produces numbers in the teeth of the opposition's efforts to contain that player...

Whoa! That team would have been a handful!

You are right. But, role players can be starters. Johnny McNeil was a role player, Anthony McHenry was a role player, Q. Stephens was a role player, Anthony Morrow was a role player. They are important players on winning teams but just not players that can get their own shots, or win the...

Morrow's Ppg: FR: 5.7ppg So: 16ppg, 4.5rpg Jr: 9.5ppg, 2.7rpg* Sr: 14.3ppg, 4.8rpg Kelly's Ppg: FR: 5.2ppg, 1.4Rpg So: 14.4Ppg, 3.4Rpg Jr.: 13.9Ppg, 5.5Rpg *This was the season Morrow got pushed off WF so Thad could play there. Anthony played a similar role at GT as he did in the NBA...

He'll be a role player there, which is his natural role. His shooting range means he can create spacing for an offense. There is value in that. If he moves on to some pro league, he will be a role player there also. But if he was a foundational, all-around player that can take control and...

Head coach and General Manager. Coming out of the NBA, this should not be outside Stoudamire's comfort zone.

Happy Birthday, Leather.

If you look at the players who can take those minutes, it doesn't look so bad. Was Miles Kelly processed or was Gt out-bid for a free agent?

Correct. I guess that it would be a dilemma if the team is better with him playing a position that is not the one he projects at the next level.

So where do play Ndongo next season? Is his best position in our system at the 5? Was his return contingent on coach agreeing to give him time as an "out?" If we are not having him defend the 5, then who will do it, a Freshman?

Phew! I was sweating this one. I would not deny Baye his dream, but selfishly, I really want to see what some of these promising but raw pro-prospects can do in college after they have had some seasoning. I think college fans have been seeing the NBA athletes playing only half baked (or...

one could make an interesting argument that corporate social hierarchies may have a lot to do with the shift in broader social priorities. For individuals to look out for the group, they have to see that the group is looking out for them. So, looking to corporate social norms maybe be eyeing a...

I'm a little surprised this quote has not gotten more of a response. Coach is squarely addressing player selfishness which seems to me to be running amuck. There is a balance and tension between the interests of the individual and the interests of the group. That tension has existed since men...

Coach noted how rapidly the industry is "evolving." How rosters are built and maintained has undergone such upheaval, that I don't even recognize it anymore. This isn't like seismic activity, rather, it is more like the scene in the movie "2012" where Los Angeles slides into "the gurgling maw...

We have two freshmen bigs coming in. Ryan M. may have been brought in as a veteran presence to help mentor and aid in the college transition for the young players.

I suspect he will impact about as much as Dowuona did

In its present trendy usage, "narrative" is what one refers to the accounts, opinions or interpretations of others they wish to discredit so as not to have to engage them in actual discourse. It started as a public opinion control tool of talking heads representing official agencies by...
