If Payne fouls out with 5 minutes to play, who will get the rebound? CHESS.

Simple question... Will the record in 5 years be better than last year?

Fans are being far too simplistic. There are so many reasons why coaches make the decision as to who to start. Some coaches nearly refuse to start first years. Some coaches don't want a huge drop off when they go to the bench. Some coaches run and attend practices so they actually know which...

The staff is wanting to ensure that Payne does not get early fouls called. Starting Thompson allows them to see how the refs are calling the game before letting the youngster in. Many coaches love having someone that can come in off the bench and DOMINATE the opposition's bench. It puts a lot...

Garcia IS built to post up on smaller, less physical players. I would have liked him to go inside to use his height AND weight advantage on occasion... especially when UNLV was getting into foul trouble.

Kansas was in Evans final 3. Evans cut list to MN and TCU. I haven't heard why but I think he actually wanted to go to a program where he'd get minutes but also be able to grow. Defensive anchors like Evans have the potential to shape the program.

Poor hires or simply inexperienced? Whalen suddenly pulled in a top ten recruiting class. Will be interesting to see what she can do with the talent. Johnson pulls in one of the top big men in the country out of a CA and a stud guard out of IL for next year. I am willing to give him more than a...

Some of you have exceptionally short term memories. Makes me think that you were born this millenium or maybe even this decade. Fleck has recruited far higher ranked players on average than any coach since Holtz. Fleck has also won at a much higher and more consistent basis than any coach since...

You misheard... it is 2037. Have patience, my friend. I still think that you would really enjoy the UNC board. It gets about 3x the traffic that we get and they get to argue about whether they should have won by 10 points or 20 points every single game. You should try it on for size... I really...

I was referring to not rushing his shot. He very calmly goes through his offensive moves without panicking.

Some of you must be very unpleasant to spend time with in person. The constant negativity and endless nit-picking is just so tiring. I would hate to be your child or spouse who fails to meet expectations day in and day out. It would also really suck to have you as a supervisor as nothing is...

That's why I posted it!

A couple of observations from seeing the squad at 'full strength' (w/o Fox and Ihnen, of course): Garcia and Battle are not very athletic. They are just not laterally quick. I did appreciate watching them defensively. Garcia, in particular, is savvy and does a good job finding the offensive...

How dare you say that you trust the coaching staff! Be prepared to be roasted by all of the ghosts of Wooden that post on the board! Seriously though, I also question why Battle got so much run coming back from injury. I would have played him about 20-25 minutes in smaller blocks of 3-5...

Ta'Lon Cooper is a Jr transfer out of Morehead St. Fairly well regarded. Garcia needs some work on D. Cal Baptist just beat Washington by 9 last week.

I'd say more execution than coaching. Other than coaching needing to get Battle some rest.

We've all been told that Johnson should follow Haskins' model of playing young guys even if it leads to losses so that they gain experience to turn the tables when they are juniors and seniors. Many fans seem to want it both ways... win now AND develop young talent. That's aint gonna work under...

Ogee- Are you just trying to stir up trouble? No one is making excuses for the coaching. Most importantly, the coaches and players aren't making any excuses for where they are at. The FACT is that Johnson last year was a first year head coach with little name recognition nationally. The FACT...

You seem knowledgeable in the sport so I am struggling to understand why you are having such a difficult time with this. I never said international experience was an absolute prerequisite to recruiting success but it is another valuable key to getting a recruit to pay attention. International...

Fleck went for it on 4th and 1 around their own 29 yard line in the 1st Q against Purdue. A coach doesn't make that sort of call if they're not trying to win. Kramer got stuffed for no gain. As I recall many wondered WTF he was doing and roasted him for the decision. Coaches are always looking...
