GT-UNC IS OFFICIALLY A WHITEOUT

[Golden Tornadoes]

I understand him perfectly fine even with his run on sentences and vocalized pauses. Those things matter very little. I just want him to lead our team to victory. Whether he is the most eloquent public speaker has no impact on our success.

If he never said a word but led us to great success I wouldn't care. How or if he speaks means nothing to me, just win.

 

[okiemon]

Exactly. Shiiiii, half these blokes out here with no idea how to use 'their' and 'you're' properly but wanna critique a basketball coach on prepositional phrases and whatnot.

Your right, @kg01. Coach’s grammar is better than most of they’rs.

Not sure where the threaded is headed, but I'm reading up on it in my handy dandy Hitchhikers Guide to Murderous Etiquette and Queen Anne's Table Manners, V2.

Hes not a politician, hes a basketball coach. If he is communicating effectively with his team that is what matters.

As I recall, Cremins' speaking "oddities" become something that endeared him to many GT fans. Why couldn't it be the same with Coach S?

Had a great time at the game last night. it did remind me of the Bobby Cremins days when the crowd was juiced when UNC and Dook came to town and we all always felt like we had a chance to win even if we were underdogs. Of course, when we had the ball down one with 30 seconds, I felt like "i've seen this movie before" and honestly expected that we might just turn it over before we even take a shot because that's what has mostly happened in those spots over the last 15 years. I loved that Nait was not afraid to make a play. [It does seem that only Nait, and Kyle want the ball in big moments (maybe Baye too) certainly not Kelly]. Nait was like Jarrett JAck fearless. My 12 year old son was with me and, as you can imagine, he has seen some awful basketball in his days and some sh*tty finishes, and he actually wept when clock hit 0:00 and he apparently was on ESPN since he got a text during the game from a girl at school: "OMG you are on TV!" GT finally gave him a great night. Here's to many more.

What a great story.

I’ve read where our beloved Coach Cremins struggled to score 801 on his SAT and was considered illiterate when he arrived at USCe. We listened to him mangle pronunciations and phrases and loved him as an awesome person and coach.

How terrific would it be for DS to follow in the Cremins tradition and become our next great coach.

yep, there was that great story about Cremins going to Enid,Ok to recruit Mark Price.Mark said later than he couldn't understand the "Bobbyisms" at all but he felt his passion so much.

Back to how to win.

I think only @TheDanielHordShow should introduce games till we lose.

It’s either that, or our best player has to go out within the first 5 minutes of our games from here out

I'll take the former.

And he's welcome to introduce the first important baseball games, like uGag. The others we don't need his karma.

I found it interesting that CDS came out with the comment that "our best player went out four minutes in." I'm not sure Kelly would agree with Coach. I'm not sure I would agree with Coach. Ndongo is a rare talent and is going to be very good, but he still has rough spots and is learning. Kelly is still our best player, in my opinion, and can take over a game.

Popularity is never owned. It’s rented, and rent is due everyday.

No one on this board knows this roster better than CDS. Kelly is the highest profile player on the roster for sure. But he needs to play like a star for more than 2 minutes at a time and avoid long sullen silences in order to be considered our best performer

A fun new discussion issue. I must have way too much free time on my hands. Assume you get to attend a mid-season Thursday practice session and CDS decides to run a scrimmage, allowing you to choose one of the teams and picking first. Who do you pick? I’d take Ndongo first and George second if he was available and Sturdivant second if George was gone. At the third pick I’d take, in order from what’s left, Kelly (surely gone already), Reeves ( surely gone already) or Lance Terry who is practicing. Claude or Deebo for 4th pick, whichever is left. 5th from what is left of Gapare, Sacko & Murphy.

Haha

Haha

We have had some very long streaks with this practice in baseball. It works is all that matters. Winning is funny? This is life or death. (tic / sarcasm - thanks for what you contribute)

Edit: Just saw @awbuzz introduced the NC State game. If we lose, it's on him.

I agree with this. But I also think that teams are focusing on taking him out of the game offensively. In the first half against UNC they were playing off him and allowing him to get into rhythm and having space for his shot. He went for 15 or so in the first half. In the 2nd half, they made a concerted effort to shut him down offensively, and we saw that. I still think Kelly is the best player on the team. I agree that CDS is the better judge of that.

 

[Home Park Jacket]

I agree that CDS is the better judge of that.

At least there is one thing we agree on.

I think Gapare's ceiling is astronomical. Still all potential.
