That was exactly my thought when I read your subject line.

Mrs pbiflyer volunteered to check out the veracity of the story.

I really liked this

John:  "At the end of the day, it's not my decision, whatever coach sees best.  If he sees me playing all 5, then I'll play all five.  If he sees me playing the 4, I can do that, too.  Whatever helps our team, I think we're all willing to do so.  I know we're all in it for the same reasons.  We want to win.  Whatever coach draws up, we're going to follow it."

A common theme from the players who have been interviewed by Dodds.  Jamal, Ed, and now Theo have all said some version of this.

Ya.. Definitely sounds like comments from players on a team with a poor leader for a head coach

I'm happy the players are all on the same page. I'd expect that in July. I'll be even happier if a real journalist can write similar stuff in February/March.

Can't write an article in February/March when it's July.

On his way to becoming another Faisal or Harris? FT's are there already.

Who is this Faisal guy everybody mentions with Theo? Was he just as strong if not stronger?

Faisal Abraham was an enforcer.  A bad man.  A banger.  A terrible free throw shooter.  Theo is bigger.

Great shot blocker too. Body fat percentage of maybe 2%. Pure muscle.

Also called for a BS foul on Sean Smith with .7 seconds left in the 1995 NIT final.

Here's Faisal blocking a shot as a senior during the 1997 Conference USA tournament. Both Faisal and Mike Bargen (lower right) were listed at 6-7 on the roster. But Bargen's arms look like pipe cleaners in comparison.

When he wasn't in the weight room at the Old Gym he was lifting in the Rec Center. 

Mike Deane had a very amusing nickname for Faisel too.

  loved what theo said about matt-exactly what i saw.  if i owned a business that needed a "go-getter" matt would be at the top of the list. 

theo-the guy is definitely a hard worker.  now he's got to play politics with the refs.  they are calling fouls on him before he even get's onto the floor.  he cannot get into a stare down with opposing player cuz that looks mean ya know.  everything is so volatile today.  good thing al had control over his players and they rarely got out of control ::) refs need to just let them play. call fouls a foul and chit won't get out of hand...let them play.  when the refs calls get inconsistent, players try to adapt.  then all hell breaks loose

While I don't disagree on Theo's "referee intimidation" fouls. I don't think that will be a huge storyline this year. I just don't see how it will impact wins and losses much given the rotation, I would rather him spend zero time thinking about that and instead spend all of that time doing what works.

If he can cut down on the actual bad fouls, great, but cutting down on fouls for him will necessarily include attempting to block/impact fewer shots. If you want one, you get the other.

Avoid the bad moving screens and he'll be fine. As Hamberdler says, I want Theo doing what makes him a valuable basketball player. A certain number of fouls go with that.

Considering he only has four to play with per game, the moving screen 35' from the basket handcuffs TJ to be the valuable bball player that his team needs.  I hope those calls are essentially non existent as they were for the Milkman as he became an upperclassman.

Marcus92

If Isaac Haas said Theo was the strongest player he'd ever played against, the prospect of TJ getting even stronger is a scary one for opponents. What's far scarier is if he becomes a better defender and rebounder, while improving his offensive game.

This was as a freshman too.  Pretty nice compliment from Haas, especially that he did it during the game as Theo fouled out.
