  1. It looks like a lot of it (aside from very poor boxing out) is related to simply giving up ground too much and ending up too close to the bucket Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Ramey going through a head banging spell... he needs to keep the ball moving Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Shaka needs to tighten the leash just a bit on Ramey ... he needs to on the court a lot for us but when he’s unilaterally overriding the game plan and dribbling the clock our Hardin style he needs a little time out ... we are better with 2 bigs on the floor than just 1 ...

  4. Hamm can leap out of the gym... frustrating he’s not a better defensive rebounder ... I think he just sets up to box out a little too close to the rim and jumps a little bit early sometimes... those things can be fixed. Besides coaching, the biggest weakness of this team has been our guards’ shot selection, ball security, and general low b-ball iq ... that’s been better w febres out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Regardless if this team manages to slip into the dance, it's been a season of very poor play and poorer coaching. Our season this year was padded with the directional and religious affiliated schools and that shitty WVU team was the only ranked team we've beat all year. The offensive play, line-ups, ball security, rebounding, and shot selection has been consistently horrific. We are seeing know, what should've / could've been the level of product on the court at the start of conference games. This little upswing with a depleted roster has been a nice change, but I think it reflects the coaches being forced into lineups and a back against the wall mentality that should've present before the big-12 conference games started. It's been a year of substandard coaching that you'd expect for the price of a mid-level high school coaches salary. I suspect Shaka will continue as coach next year if he makes the NCAA tournament and doesn't get humiliated in the first game. I'm not thrilled about, but that would be probably what the ceiling was for this team at the beginning of the season. If he makes the NIT again, we need to take the $ hit and hand him his walking papers. I'm a fan of the team regardless of who is wearing the colors or coaching, and I'd like to see the team win out, make the dance, and surprise the naysayers. I'd like to hope this streak of 3 wins has been a "come to Jesus" awakening for Shaka to be focused on what wins games and less focused on not hurting anybody's feelings. That said, I remain skeptical.
  6. At least Cunningham gets his money‘s worth on the foul Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Man these refs are shite Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Hamm has the worst hands / timing .. great vertical and first to get to a ball often but rarely in control Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Lance’s hard sales pitch for Shaka is getting mute worthy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Nope... he needs to make the ncaa tourney and win a game for even the slightest sliver of a chance of survival ... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. They are getting their money’s worth Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. If WV is going to play that aggressive and tight that far away from the basket we need to run some off ball back screens and cut to the basket... Shaka also needs to raise some hell about getting a fair shake on fouls Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. It's a big mess... tries too hard to be way to many things and doesn't really succeed at any. Overkill with respect to stereotypes and forced Jew humor that reaches the point of habitability. Comedy, drama and action forced into a cheese on fish type dish. The gore is unnecessarily extreme is some spots. A heavy amount of Tarantino imitation to the point of irritation. Definitely some good actors, interesting scenes, and a large budget, but the product is an uncomfortable, "look how cool I am," kind of self indulgence. Even the racial discrimination / anti-Semitic hammer-over-the-head messaging was ineffective...tried to be over-the-top funny and was just insulting to the iq of viewers.
  14. Too fucking early to try to turtle the clock out guys Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Gotta rum that 3 on 1 Coleman ... geeez Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Baker went from meaningful playing time to doghouse in the blink of an eye Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Pigtails can’t stay inbounds Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. AJ and Ramey need to get the ball moving more and cut that James Hardin bullshit... they’ll likely get their shots up anyway but they need to chill and quit forcing shit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Nothing like lavender jerseys to fire up the team Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Ramey needs to quit that 12 seconds of standing still and dribbling shit ... and Cunningham is nice change on defense from AJ, Williams and febres Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. I can see positives in about every player on the current roster... a problem has been the free reign / lack of repercussions environment that allows for really bad decision making and bad habit development to flourish and doesn't punish or call-out recurring lack of effort and focus on the more difficult / less sexy stuff like boxing out, taking a charge, interior passing, and movement without the ball. We have no 5-tool players on this team. Running the iso / 5-out set and allowing everyone to shoot beyond the NBA 3-point line at will is asinine. Whoever inherits this roster, even if a good chunk of it bails out with the coach, will have some positive things to work with. We could use a calm and confident ball handler with better vision and another player on the roster besides Sims who can gather a rebound in a crowd (Kai may be that guy with another 15 lbs of muscle). In my opinion, it would be ideal if 2 or 3 of our stationary swing men departed with Shaka so that the new coach could bring in more than one player next year. Give me about 3 of the Liddell, Williams, Cunningham, AJ, Febres group and allow the remainder to go with Shaka to the east or west coast.
  22. Took half the team out with injuries for Shaka to luck into a lineup that showed a little scrap Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Cunningham showed tonight he could’ve been useful as a defender / energy guy ... baker showing he can post up a little Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
