When George is on the floor, PG is a strength for GT. Abram looks more like a 2G to me.

Did Baye's ferocious jam off the baseline run remind anyone of Jordan Usher's similar play in the ACC Championship game against FSU? Usher's flush over the FSU big (Grey?) just finished FSU in that game. Baye's was more violent and surprising because we didn't know he could fake and put the...

Those were on Sturdivant. His team mates made cuts to get open and Sturdivant held the ball, so they go to cut and he throws them the ball when they are no longer looking. He's just not a PG. He is a better scorer than George, but George is the better floor general and a much better defender...

There is some talent. They just don't know how to play. Kowacie Reeves has been more productive than I expected. My impressions of Abram are the opposite. He is important and for him to explode on the launch pad is a huge blow to the team. If Sturdivant was going to be able to be a winning...

The Coach believes that wins are a product of a culture of personal discipline and competitive toughness. He holding the players accountable by allowing them to be humbled. He is going to allow them to take ownership of the results of their own levels of discipline and competitive toughness...

Are we getting back either of Lance Terry or Baye Ndongo? That would help...

Yes. That is 'our' Will Bynum.

Banks was an excellent Belly-up defender in the post. Guys going strait at Banks down low got stoned. But Lammers was an amazing weak-side defender. Lammers could come out on switches and make it back to snuff drivers on the weak side. He was quite amazing. The only one that compared to a...

Nah, it is better to just get the calls right. It is not good for the entire TV audience to see that the officials have the call wrong. It makes the officials and the integrity of the game look bad for them to have less info than the TV audience. I get Tony Bennett's frustration, but he is...

For Stoudamire to win with how he wants to play is going to require a work ethic, intensity and toughness that the players are not familiar with. This is going to be a process and there is no guarantee of success. There is a bias among some fans that if we are going to beat Duke and make the...

Under the category of 'experience matters,' from last nights game: Upper classmen: 25 for 47 from the field for 77 points Underclassmen: 2 for 13 from the field for 7 points.

I think the scrimmage suggests that Dowuona has not rounded his game significantly, so he might be limited to being a situational defender and not a likely a starter. When Stoudamire says guys like Gapare and Ndongo can "defend 1 through 5" I don't think he means it as compliment, rather he...

Probably a thumb injury. Just playin' the percentages.

Anybody know why Souare did not play?

If I would have one thing I wanted the team to do well is to shoot the ball well. The team shot 58% from the field, 46% from 3 and 75% from the line. We had 25 assists on 33 made field goals, which is outstanding. Guys were scoring off of passes. That is really good. Turnovers and fouling...

Stoudamire's responses to questions by the ACC Tip-Off gang is loaded with great info. He said that he has spent more time over the Summer than on anything else teaching "play after the play." That means when an set has been disrupted, being able to maintain cohesive offensive actions. He...

Some key quotes: "basketball comes down to being the mentally tougher team" "when you're tired... at the end of games, you've got to be able to execute on both ends of the floor" "You've got to be able to take care of that ball. You've got to be able to box out when you don't want to."...

I was responding to this statement: "I think Stoudamire's system will let guys play to their strengths and it'll be more wide open in terms of letting players "express themselves"." My impression is that Stoudamire has detailed standards of what good basketball looks like. I look forward to...

Stoudamire talks about discipline, attention to detail and not skipping steps. Doesn't sound like a free system to me.
