To Put The Losses In Perspective

[mu-rara]

What longer view is that? Play Bucyks at point when he is gone after this year while Cadougan is behind him and is the future?

That Crowder will start next year when he should be starting now?

That we have two perimeter player commits to go with the 7 returnees next year at the perimeter, and do not have a quality big commit, while we continue to get slaughtered on the glass.

Exactly what "long view" are you referring to?

The long view that JC is still a work in progress, and Buzz is making him work for it.  This will pay large dividends in February.

You have no idea who Buzz is on for spring recruits.

This is a young team that is a work in progress.  There will be many changes between now and February 1st.  Let the adults take care of things.

Willie, I am going to make these points one more time.  Junior was our PG for 25 minutes last night...and had ONE assist.  When he was running the point, we were by and large ineffective against the zone.  I'm not saying Buycks is better, although his ratio was better, but this isn't as black and white and you make it out to be.

As for Crowder, he was tied for second in minutes last night with 32....ahead of DJO, Blue and Otule.  He is getting plenty of playing time.  Would he have played more if he started?  I doubt it.  But I guess you just like to hear is name during introductions or something because that's about all that matters when it comes to starting.

One thing I noticed about JC's playing time, when JC and Buycks play at the same time the offense stalls.  If JC is in there without Buycks the offense looks much better and JC looks more in control.  I think Buycks is dominating the ball too much.

I don't have any statistical evidence to back this up, but if you had JC and any other 4 players not Buycks, they look better against the zone.  Plus if there were a 2nd assist stat I think thats where you would see a lot of JC's numbers show up.  Again no evidence, just watching all the games

Sounds a little like Bob Knight interview with Connie Chung about 10 years ago.

"If rape is inevitable, you might as well lay back and enjoy it"

If losses are inevitable, you might as well accept them as satisfactory.

So you're saying that we should continue to whine and moan about how the refs keep jobbing us instead of simply accepting the situation for what it is?

That sounds like more of a defeatist attitude than refusing to think that losing to Duke and Gonzaga is the end of the world.

Is this just an unfunny post that should have been in teal? If not, you've forfeited the right to call anyone else childish - for life.
