Quote from: Zog from Margo on November 26, 2025, 10:49:01 PMI think Hamilton and Clark both have a chance to be decent players as juniors and seniors. They were both projects but the trajectory has been good given where they started. To the extent there was a mistake it was expecting that they'd man the 5 spot this year. The best lineup is with Gold at the 5 and Parham at the 4 but neither is playing as well as I expected.
Quote from: Scoop Snoop on November 26, 2025, 07:05:58 PMI appreciate your reply, but I think the old "apples and oranges" cliche' comes into play here, in the sense that you did not recruit your team, right? Jim Boeheim had his version of the zone defense that was the foundation of his Syracuse teams, and they played it exceptionally well. He once said that he recruited players who he thought could play defense the way he wanted them to, and added that he would "coach them up" to playing offense if that was necessary.
I remember Al McGuire once saying something along the lines of "I've got horses, so I'm going to let them run."
So... where is Shaka in this "coach the team you have, not the one you want?" Do they need to adapt to what he wants, or does he need to accept them with the talents (or lack thereof) that they have demonstrated? For now, let's try to avoid the answer "somewhere in between the two", even though that may be true. I'm interested in a debate between the two.

Quote from: MU82 on November 26, 2025, 07:25:49 PMIt is impossible that there was a shooting in Washington DC. We have been told repeatedly that there is absolutely no crime there now.
Seriously, terrible tragedy in DC. There is some question as to whether the Guardsmen were killed or injured. Lots of other unanswered questions, too. Hoping for the best.
Quote from: MU82 on November 26, 2025, 05:03:59 PMI'm sure Shaka appreciates you giving him some credit for Oso's development. We all wish Gold were better, but he's already proven to be a starting 5 on an NCAAT-caliber team. Hamilton doesn't appear to be an NCAAT-caliber big; if he doesn't improve markedly, that would be a "fail." Way too early to tell with Clark IMHO.

Michigan is heading toward a total victory margin of about 110 points in its 3 games.
