The game wasn't terrible at all. B-C played well, especially in the first half and the smiling Pope kid was legit. But we clamped down on defense in the second half, held them to 29% in the 2nd half. It was an exciting game, it was a come from behind win and it was contested until the end. I...

Parham getting major minutes at the point might be a real benefit in the long view. The minutes could accelerate his getting accustomed to the system and developing some familiarity with his team mates, not to mention to get his shot going. Depending on Alvarado to play an entire game for the...

...and dress them in White & Gold! ;-)

With Didenko, they might just want to move him through if he doesn't project to be more than a limited role player.

I thought the game was an excellent learning experience for Devoe to run the team. Devoe and Parham had 9 turnovers to 2 assists for that game. This will open their eyes and they can go to the tape and learn from it. Moses needs to get serious about the game. The good news is, when he finds...

I think redshirtng him is a good idea. It would separate Usher and Sjolund by two seasons at the combo forward spot and allow Sjolund to continue to get bigger.

I actually think we may finally be breaking into the clear. I think the penalties effect things less when they are known than when the findings are pending and hanging over a program's head. I think if it hurt recruiting, then it has hurt recruiting more in the past year than it will hurt us...

That view is excessively broad and devoid of actual cause and effect. Not EVERYTHING that occurs in the family is the responsibility of the head of the household. Family members are autonomous agents and can act of their own accord. It is possible to be a good parent and have bad stuff happen...

Drew was fired because he lost his team in Bill Lewis fashion. I know lots of fans want Pastner gone. I'm not one of them.

He runs the most coherent schemes on both ends than I have seen at GT since Cremins. I think his "Get Old, Stay Old" strategy is very reasonable given the state of the program. I think he has a great work ethic and is crazy about the game which I think can serve him well. If he is allowed any...

No, Todd is strong. Throwing your own people under a bus to satisfy an lynch mob is weak. Firing a good basketball coach while having no money to hire an upgrade to satisfy short term public opinion is weak. The Men's program has been undermined year after year by one boneheaded decision...

No coach worth having would want this job over the probationary period, even if we had money. Any coaching change would be to hire another Gregory to babysit the program until Stansbury can raise money for a new coach and wait for the probation restrictions to expire. A Pointless move...

I wonder how much we under-estimate the negative impact of Phillips not making any positive contribution on the difficulties of last year's team? Instead of getting a bonafide defender and a guy who could be counted on for ~10ppg and shooting a decent percentage, we got a player who simply...

Going into pre-season I thought the line-up to start the year would be: Alvarado-Devoe-Moore-Wright-Banks. With Usher maybe pushing Moore if Moore is not producing. The development of Shambari Phillips might mean that we go three guards against smaller teams...

Staggering the year of departure for Alvarado and Parham would certainly benefit the program (except for this year). Having Parham for a Senior year after Alvarado has moved on would help the "Get old, Stay old" cause. I am not going to sweat the waiver deal as there are pluses and minuses to...

From the +/- stat it is clear that Pastner played two distinct units, subbing five for five: the starting unit of Alvarado-Devoe-Moore-Usher-Banks and they were replaced as a group with Parham-Phillips-Price-Sjolund-Cole. The starters were outscored by 4 points and the subs outscored Madrid...

I guess that Wright *could* play the 5 but I think it is taking him away from his area of strength, which is his mobility, ranginess, and ability to close out. I just don't see Wright being at his strength trying to belly-up players sitting in the post or trying to hold rebound position against...

There is a balance to be reached between the drop-off with an inferior sub and the drop-off from a guy playing gassed (or hurt). In the case of Lammers especially, there was carry-over in games with less than three days rest, especially noticeable in his fine Junior season. Even though it is...

At some point this Fall I expect a comment from Pastner along the lines that there is not a lot of separation between guys at the wing positions and that we see a healthy rotation of players prior to the heavy ACC schedule. If Phillips has turned a corner, then I can see us going three guards...

We need a a ready post (or two) with this class, but we are not going to get a plug-'n'-play PG (like Smith) in this class. We are returning three upper classmen at that position in 2020 and no high level recruit is going to be attracted by that level of congestion when they will have better...
