"Technical" and "legal" are the relevant standards with regards to disciplinary proceedings, as it should be. On a personal level, it is apparently human nature to blame the victim. If a woman is raped, we tend to question why she allowed herself to be alone with a man like that. If a person...

Wow. Came on this board to discuss a good basketball game and I scroll through this thread and all I see is a bunch of Dudes indulging in a bitter pity party like a clutch of high school girls after a party where none of them got asked to dance. We're talking about Brian Gregory, seriously...

When Haywood packs his suitcase for a road game, he needs to remember to pack his game. He hasn't shown the ability to play well away from home yet (at least not this season. I don't remember about last season).

The first half was highly discouraging. The team showed little composure on the road (which I feared), the offense was stagnant, so many shots were hard off the back rim and some players didn't look like ACC level players. The second half didn't start any better but then Pastner pulled certain...

The largest issue I see is that the game is on the road and we are not the most level-headed team. Our club seems to easily lose focus, especially on offense. If we are going to do anything this season, that has to change.

Gueye has fewer fouls per minute than either Ogbonda or Banks.

While I have a minute while the turkey roasts and the collards tenderize.... Good golly the house smells like heaven. Lots to be thankful for... 11-42 at halftime is a score that I'd expect from Duke, but only Duke seems to be able sustain that for both halves. Krzyzewski must put something...

There have been a few times where Wright chooses to bring the ball up the floor against pressure and the opposing guards are coming up behind him. At first I think that he is sure to get the ball poked from behind, but they don't catch him. And then he keeps dribbling into the paint and I am...

We shot 27.6% from the field and 15.8% from three against TN. That is what I meant. I think they disrupted our O, we not only missed open looks, but we were more stagnant than our games against lesser opponents. I think we will look better against good competition after our guys have been...

I don't recall Hurley sticking his nose in the paint like either Corchiani or Alvarado. But that was a long time ago and maybe my memory banks are corrupted ("Error...FAULTY")

Moses Wright is a risk taker and is inclined to be a free-wheeling player so he does look like a turnover waiting to happen. But the fact is, he has only turned the ball over 5 times in 56 minutes played. He's shooting .444 from the floor and .400 (with two banks) from 3. He's averaging 7ppg...

My early impression of Devoe was, "whoa, he wants the ball in his hands, he wants to create off the dribble." He has more Kenny Anderson in him than Mark Price (as archetypal comparisons). I haven't seen him much yet so maybe I am mistaken. Tennessee just stuffed us on the perimeter. They...

I think "semi-structured" is the goal. The problem with structured offense against the Hall of Fame ACC coaches is that they will completely scout your team and will negate what you want to do if they know what that is. Part of our success in year one was that we were a complete unknown. By...

From watching all three games thus far, as well as the exhibition, I believe this last game is one where I am seeing a glimpse of what Pastner has envisioned for his offense. In the first two years, we have been pretty structured, with predictable sets, running the offense through Lammers in...

Would he start at the 4 With Gueye or at the 5 instead of Gueye?

Without Lammers, both offensive and defensive schemes have changed. The roster is mostly composed of young or inexperienced guys. Phillips is experienced but new to the rotation. Lots of newness to start the season. I think it will take some time, but as the season progresses I think the team...

It is interesting to me how different people can look at the same thing and come away with totally different impressions. I sat down and watched that scrimmage and what I came away with is that we are WAY underestimating this GT team. What I saw was the most dynamic Gt team I've seen in years...

I think there is little benefit in trying to use last season to try to project the relative merits of either Cole or Wright. Last season demonstrated little except that both players had potential but that both were deep projects to become above average ACC players. Their relative merits as...

In that context, and with regards to how the Darryl LaBarrie infractions were handled, it makes one wonder if smaller programs or programs who try to play it strait are the sacrificial lambs. The irrelevant are punished preferentially to keep up the appearance that legitimate policing is...

Especially if it becomes clear that this team isn't going to be making any noise. If his first two seasons are any indication, then fans shouldn't get too caught-up in rigidly assigning roles to players because Pastner has shown a strong disposition to change his rotation in search of favorable...
