I'm no expert, but it's an option offense. My understanding is that rarely does GT line up with a single play in which the ball is going to a designated player. So, how many snaps do you have to give a B-back to guarantee him 8-9 touches per game? 30? 40? And if you have another back with...

The problem with using carries either as a metric for contributions to wins or, particularly, as a way to keep a player happy is found in the article posted in this thread: https://gtswarm.com/threads/annapolis-newspaper-article-on-option-offense.11083/ It's an offense mastered through months...

Your commitment to these subtweets is admirable! ;)

So he was called for a foul because he stood still?

It's a thin crowd here, for sure. A lot fewer students, as well as the other seats.

I'll echo the positive comments about ball movement, effort, etc. Hopefully they can improve and gain confidence so that it doesn't fall apart when faced with ACC level defense. It seemed to me that GT had a couple of good stretches in both halves when Heyward was in at the point. I could be...

I'm pretty sure I've heard (or read) Pastner say that he will implement something this year based on the capabilities of the players, rather than his preferred system. IIRC, Gregory made the opposite decision in his first year, on the basis that it was unlikely to gain more than a win or two...

On the one hand, it makes a lot so sense to provide an incentive for schools to encourage S-As to come back and graduate. After all, the idea behind the APR is to encourage the conditions which correlate with graduation. On the other hand, it could obscure the current team academic performance...

I think he was just confused about the roster - he said there are 7 scholarship and 2 walk-ons, and there was only 1 walk-on this year.

In fact, that's a false statement and perfectly demonstrates the way that dissatisfaction with the coaching job, etc., transforms into "hate". Looking at some of the recent replies - he got lazy, he never cared about Tech, he just wanted to stick it to Tech, etc. Supposition stated as fact...

That's a great article - thanks. Sounds like the kind of person that would be helpful to any young coach, if they are willing to be "coached" themselves. I assume that under NCAA rules he isn't allowed to actually coach the players during practice, but it sounds like he provides counsel to...

Interesting. I have no idea whether or not this is good for him long- term, but I can understand the desire to get in with life. I guess his AAU coach is really a strong presence in his life. Does he have ties to any agents?

:LOL:

dammit

Man, I never liked divinity, but somebody was always bringing it to Christmas dinner.

I will say that when I read this Forbes interview with Drew, after this quote from Bobinski: “I would tell you this. From sort of the personal characteristic side, if I could have all of what Brian brought, I’d take all of that again. There’s very little, if anything there that I would do...

From my reading, Iv20gt is closer to being right than your explanation. APR does not consider the academic eligibility when the S-A withdraws, but if they would be eligible to compete at the beginning of the next regular semester, e.g. the following Fall in the case of 1 and done basketball...

This year the team and Gregory also had the benefit of using the 1 in 4 years international trip, which came with 10 summer practices to prepare. Although there were players who could not participate, this gave extra teaching, evaluation and bonding time for this season.

Here's a post I made last month on GT's APR performance. Without rehashing everything, my conclusion was that Hewitt had 2 really bad years (which resulted in actual scholarship losses), but the recruiting standards had probably changed and the performance began to improve before he was fired...
