jboss has admitted it is an online persona, not how he really is. And while I agree his singling you out has been over the top, you do have the option of engaging the ignore function. Might be worth it in this case.
... So TLB is showing you that the ignore button allows you to OWN AND DESTROY jboss.
... 1) back to basket offense that every team that's beat us has had ... as unstoppable.we do not have any back to basket offensive presence, although we do have the size for that, it is just not Hayes game. And Egbunu has never been good at that b/c he is a little slow getting into his offensive moves.
....2) any teams tall inside guys should have a big-size coach to pound in their specialized training inside.
....3) during a time-out 'huddle' I noticed a coach in suit & tie who looked at least 2 inches taller than Hayes? That guy should be teaching our 'insides' steadfast footholds, butt-out stances for keeping opposing bigs at bay, never bringing the ball downward 'neath the basket- immediately go up for put-backs to make their big stars foul. None of those opposing, agressive 'bigs' have been put anywhere near foul trouble in any games where they were agressively scoring at will, grabbing rebounds at will.?? Doesn't take gifted athleticism to block out, collapse with double-team help at boxing them in ??
....4) I see our two outside guys passing back-forth, no play setup progress due to our other 3 standing 'round in a stupor - jet across, weave calling for the ball, even if just to give their D-players something to stumble over.
... 5) Hudson, Egor, K.Allen if squared up can hit enough % 3s, but moreso drive to shoot or draw fouls from opposing late reacting bigs.
...6) Maybe this is being done? Film-study should include Hayes, Stone, Gak, Johnson watching a one-play strip where they let opposing big out-position them. Immediately show them a "spliced-in" bit where the inside defender slips inside his opponent and "big-butts" him into poor position. Have our big close his eyes and visualize and feel how he can do that. (Heck, UF Med School gives seminars on hypnosis, visualization effectiveness. Put it to emperical use, even keeping clinical results.)
...7) Of course, I'm assuming Cincinnati is not a Sweet-16 team. So we've got to make big improvement strides between now and March.
One thing that griped me watching last night's game. Watching on my smaller screen TV, it pissed me ofwhen ESPN split it in half, showing the gameplay on halfscreen and Cincy's HC pacing the sidecourt, shouting all kinds of directives to his players. Never saw them show White doing that ... oh that's right, there are no shots of White doing that 'cause he's busy not doing that?
While I'm ranting: I want Trump to deport all those religiously fanatic health nuts -- especially the Macadamians. For those wondering, my religious orientation was first Methodistant, then Presbyterian,
and now I'm Frisbeeterian: we believe in reincarnation, just not in coming all the way back.
