    He's also pretty clever. Doesn't offer much weakside help if the opponent has a clear path. Instead, puts his hands down by his side and allows the bucket. 

    I don't blame Edey. Just a flaw in the game and officiating that Painter exploits. The moment he gets a crew that "lets them play," his teams get bounced.

    Congrats to them for finally making a FF, though.

    For sure it's not his fault. I'm just saying he's not actually that skilled of a player.

    Longhorn basketball could use an “oaf” that scores and rebounds like Edey.   He completely dominates the game.  

    He's only dominant because he's large and NCAA officials can't officiate guys that size correctly. His game is completely unremarkable. He's athletic for his size but his skills are entirely mid.

  3. Painter and Barnes both have a history of choking games away like this. I guess Painter has the advantage because of the school bus sized circus freak playing the 5 on his team that apparently can never commit a foul.

    How the fuck does he have 0 fouls this far into the game.

    Lulz. It goes both ways. He literally got wrapped up on an inbounds pass in the first half. dude had his arms all the way around Edey so he couldnt jump. No whistle. 

    Yeah I know it goes both ways. Officiating him is basically impossible in either direction.

    Similar to what women's refs didn't know what to do with Griner. Edey gets fouled 99% of the time because no one has anyone to defend him properly. 

    The problem though is Edey fouls too--A LOT--and they don't call it either. The one in the S16 game was the worst I've ever seen. 

    Yeah that's exactly the comparison I was thinking of, tbh.

    Hard to believe that Painter has been head man at Purdue for about 16 seasons now.

    He always seems to have the exact same team. A bunch of decent guards and one freakish monster.

    It's hilarious watching refs try to officiate Edey. Dude can just do whatever he wants because college officials don't seem to know how to deal with it.

    That makes no sense.   His baggage can be tolerated during the season but once it's over we just can't have that around?

    Yeah that’s weird. I ‘member tech fans hoping and praying he wouldn’t transfer after Adams was let go. Now he’s been cut and it’s all “meh, whatever”

    I was told he was encouraged to leave, beyond that I'm just guessing. Entirely possible McCasland just wants a different type of guard than what he brings to the table.

    Before @Js1 winds up another freak bitch fastball, I would rather be stayed, so I have no clue what you're blathering about. But it ain't up to me so it's a moot point.

    Well, hell. Sounds like you’ve got me all figured out. 

     

    It doesn't mean you're a bad person for doing it, just means you need to evaluate some of the things you say differently.

    Do they feel I am using that rhetoric- responding to monstrosity with monstrosity-as an apologetic for Israel in Gaza?

    That's exactly what you're doing. Don't hem and haw about it. Just about everything you've posted on this topic has been a rationalization of some sort.

    Wow. Whole lot of nothing. I wonder how much the libel lawyer retainer was.

    She’s certainly not likable, but nothing out of the ordinary for coaches at the level. I am willing to admit a little sexism in that I think some of things I don’t like about her I would likely find less irritating in men. I’m surprised the article didn’t address that.

    Fuck Baylor
