    I realize a Coach can't babysit his Players 24/7, place them in bubble wrap and lock them in the Apartment until it is time to play or practice. However the Coach Who recruited the player is the one Who should have the greatest knowledge of the Player's background, High school record (including...

    Conner Essegian enters portal,

    The bigger question is why would a good 3 point shooter transfer to a School that runs an Offense that averages less than 15 attempts in a game? There are teams out there that get that many attempts in a half.

    My gosh..... It's only been approximately four hours of tournament play so far.....

    In one game saw a player dribbling the ball by bringing his hand from the side of the ball and twisting his wrist from the side to over the top of the ball, He did it with both hands. In my day that would have been a carrying violation. You had to keep your hand on top of the Ball through...

    What if a mid-major makes a sweet 16 run.

    Money isn't everything. There are actually Players out there Who prefer to play in a system that is fun (promotes fast break and 3 point shooting), play for a Coach Who can teach Them things to improve their game, and a Coach Who is capable of leading the Team to a post Season Tournament before...

    Solving The NCAA Exclusion Problem

    After the disaster of Selection Sunday, let's see if We can find some out of the box solutions to the problem. The season for most teams now begins in October or early November Many teams play non counted Exhibition Games (glorified scrimmages) before playing meaningful games. Conferences are...

    MSU in at #9 seed

    Oh Good. We can watch one more game of Tom Izzo breating the Officials claiming his players are fouled on every possession and they never commit defense or rebounding fouls.

    Where I come from, the Rule was No Autopsy, No Foul.

    BIG Officiating.

    I've had a theory on this for several years. Nobody pays top price for a ticket to a game to watch an official blow his Whistle every other possession and call traveling, double dribble, or carrying. Conferences know it, Coaches know it, and most importantly Players know it. Add to this the...

    BIG Officiating.

    It wasn't just Purdue and Wisconsin. In the 2nd half of the Nebraska-Illinois game Terrance Shannon of Illinois put his head down 15 feet from the basket, straight line dribbled to the basket initiated contact on the floor and knocked down several Illinois Players like plastic bowling pins...

    Chime in please.

    May is a good Coach Who will have great opportunities to make more money than sitting on the bench next to Woodson for a year. And the Coach in waiting thing doesn't always work out. Ask Mike Hopkins the former Syracuse player and assistant Coach in waiting to Jim Boehiem. Jim stayed forever...

    When Woody loses, he loses!

    I think one of Woodson's problems is his NBA mentality. When You play an 80 game schedule and more than 50% of your teams make the Playoffs, You don't place a high value on one regular season game. You don't have to be great night after night and win a Division Title. Just get to the...

    Anyone else ****ing despise the way we play basketball?

    You would think that after You play a team twice during the regular season and lose both times by double digits due in large part to their 3 point shooting, You would have a plan to defend it the third time you play them. Or our Guards are so slow and unathletic that They can't defend it.

    Free Throws - Who Would Have thought a Week Ago ....

    Who would have thought only a week ago that We could attribute a victory in the Big 10 Tournament to excellent Free throw shooting? 14 for 18, 78%. If We would have hit an average of 70-75% in the regular season, We wouldn't be in Desperation Scramble Mode in an effort to make the Tournament.

    Alford/Knight

    At least for this Year He had Caitlin Clark and the Women's Team to take over fan interest on campus and distract people from the performance of the Men's Team.

    Davis and Schifino

    Some of this depends upon What Team drafts You. Davis was a 2nd Round draft Pick drafted by a team that knows how to fit his skills in their system and allow Him to contribute as a Rookie. JHS was drafted in the Top 10 by a mediocre team that can't seem to fit Him into their system as a Rookie...

    Hypothetical

    I can see Ware returning for several reasons. First He thrives in this system and his role won't diminish. Second, as long as He is, it wouldn't hurt Him to put on 10 pounds of pure muscle to better withstand the bigger bodies in the NBA. Last, He may want to take a look at TJD. Stayed the...

    this net stuff makes no sense.

    So You consider margin of loss encouraging setting up a Hostess Cupcake early season schedule, and You end up with a good Indiana State team maybe sitting out the Tournament despite a great record and being ranked in the top 25 because they can't get enough Big Conference Schools to schedule...

    Give Gunn a chance...

    No. i pointed out earlier that I would prefer neither one of them on the floor. ball handling guards at this level don't have more turnovers than points or Assists.

    Give Gunn a chance...

    X had more turnovers than points today. That's not the source of a spark. that's the work of an Arsonist.

    Give Gunn a chance...

    I don't disagree with that. I would rather see a walk on Who values the ball and doesn't turn the ball over rather than either of those 2.
