huggs isn't stupid. by tournament time, it will just be you.Originally posted by KeatonsCorner:
Huggs disagrees
right. and i like what huggs is doing with his minutes lately. but it was still one possession too manyOriginally posted by spartansstink:
Look, he's a offensive and defensive liability out there. He has no confidence in his shot, and has slow feet. It is what it is.
However, he gives you smarts and hustle out on the court. That counts for a lot.
his minutes are dropping as we get closer to crunch time. i think we already have our answer.Originally posted by KeatonsCorner:
lol! Id wager a bet... But you have no backbone to follow through anyhow
Exactly. We can't feed the post worth a damn either so that has to count for something. Oftentimes, they are getting the ball too far away to do anything to start. Both Holton and Williams seem more comfortable shooting from 15 than from 1.5. I thought their power moves were getting better but they still have a ways to go.Originally posted by Papillion:
Adrian's not the problem. He does many good things without scoring many times. What hurt as far as individually was not only Macon constantly losing the ball when trying to drive is other big men CONSTANTLY putting the ball on the floor when down low and constantly getting stripped. This has been going on all year. And as much improved as Williams has gotten he still puts it on the floor when he shouldn't. That's one of the first things they teach big men is keep it high and take it to the basket. Our guys can't seem to do that without any consistency.
That would have been impressive from under the backboard and to the side of the rim with defenders behind himOriginally posted by wvpaper:
BDW would have thrown that down
Paper, you're such a dickhead...... you posted yourself that Adrian should leave the Mountaineers and go play for a Mountain East Conference team.Originally posted by wvpaper:
no one says kick adrian off the team. but most of us see that good things happen when his minutes are restricted.
you need to accept these guys for what they can do.
First, you're not smart enough to embarrass anyone other than yourself. And second, "what wrong", to use your words, with others challenging, agreeing, disagreeing, correcting, or otherwise responding to your posts in any fashion they choose, within the accepted rules, in the same manner and tone which you yourself use when you make your own posts on various topic or issues of your choosing?Originally posted by wvpaper:
perfect. now every dumb ass i've embarrassed on this board in the last couple of weeks has chimed in on this thread.
for the record, no one supports huggs more than me. and, yes, adrian would do well in a lower division. but i've never suggested he should be asked to leave.
what's wrong with saying other players getting more of the kids minutes gives us a better chance to win? huggs seems to agree. i mean, look at the recent games box scores.
.......another of the opportunities that didn't go the Mountaineers way last night.Originally posted by EnginEER 89:
In hindsight I think Carter had Miles on the wing. I think Carter should have dished to him for the 3. As for Adrian, you have to give him credit for good hands and positioning on the rebound. He just needed to jump back toward the court and shoot to draw a foul instead of fading toward the end line. Basically, he neede to have the mindset of a forward and not a guard.
In the apirit of constructive criticism, Holton (who played really well) got that traveling late in regulation. Same theme - he needed to just go up strong and either jam it in or draw a foul.
Lgm!
