freshman. Hard to step in and be consistently productive at this level, even if he played at MV, which I did think would help him tremendously. It's why I thought the one and done talk with him and Mullins was way premature and unlikely. We may have gotten the better player in Tucker.

Yes, that is frequently a no call as it wasn’t egregious, but he did bump into the other player and made contact with the players arm and both actions impeded his ability raise his arm and jump for the ball. The Memphis player’s left arm/hand couldn’t get above shoulder height and he barely had any vertical.
Sucks to have that called late in the game for sure, but absolutely no reason for the press conference comments let alone the on court tirade
Not that it matters, but it was BS when Hurley said the Memphis player made a half-ass attempt to get the rebound. The replay shows that’s not true at all. It was a lie and kind of a cheap thing to say anyway.
At the time, some of the NCAA's own enforcement personnel didn't think it was a serious enough violation to warrant the penalty that was imposed. So, OK, it may have been "illegal" at the time, but it was a first-time-offender misdemeanor violation by IU instead of a serious felony.
As for an "ADVANTAGE", as you screamed, I recall some of the "phone calls" the NCAA counted against Sampson were (1) not received by any human being, but (2) were registered by telephone company equipment when they clicked on answering machines for a couple seconds even though nobody left a recorded message. Again, not a serious felony giving an "advantage", and it's doubtful the caller or recipient even knew this would count as a "phone call" or that it even had happened. The NCAA counted "phone calls" even when they were not completed.
One thing is clear -- when the NCAA acts like this it loses public support. The NCAA's tremendous loss of power proves "Karma is a bitch."
Again, my comments were not about IU. It was about the frivolity of the “it’s legal now” argument. NIL did not vindicate UK for sending cash to a player’s parents in the 80s.
Yep. I thought the call was a 50/50 and maybe should have just been a play-on….but Hurley loses my vote when he starts acting like a tool. The “half ass” comment was a bad choice of words. You stop making your case when you start acting like a dick.
all depends, I don't think MM is an NBA player, haven't seen McNeely this year just going off of the handful of the Montverde games I watched. to me they would duplicate each other on this year's roster. time will tell, got a bad feeling about this Bahamas trip hope I'm wrong
Hurley said of McNeeley recently..."He's the most college ready freshman I've ever coached." Not sure that implies NBA success, but its pretty high praise for a guy that's won back to back Natty's, with some key freshmen on those teams.
I think you could say the same about a lot of the players from that program, they basically are college players
I don't know if he's any better an overall shooter than Mack. But he's a better overall basketball player, for sure.
They have a two man team that doesn't do anything well except shoot threes. Backcourt is horrible, except when shooting threes, and they can't guard shit. Interior D is severely weak, guards can't contain penetration, bigs aren't any better.
