Freeman ended up with San Bernadino in the CCAA division 2 conference this past year. Averaged about 2 points and 2 rebounds per game Played in 23 of 35 games for a Final 4 team, about 7 minutes per game. Did not play once they hit the post season. I saw him once, very non-aggressive...

Regarding Betts: I believe that last season was his first true freshman season. Wasn't he basically a 17 year old who should have been a senior in high school, who redshirted during his first year at U of M? Of course, that begs the question: How many posters here believe that if a freshman...

Would've liked to hear a little more about what each of the new transfers can bring defensively (what do they seem to be good at on the defensive end) and maybe how and why Coach Johnson feels they can work together to form a cohesive team defense that can be competitive. I think we all know...

Most radio types will tell you that for every hour you're on the air, you should plan on an hour of show prep. That may or may not include your daily production meeting if you have a significant staff that works with you on that show. If you have a staffer chasing down information, you still...

I guess, if he’s thinking in the immediate future, those numbers might matter to him. If he’s thinking longer term, and not strictly financially, those numbers might not matter that much. I would guess that, by this point, he is fully aware of those numbers. I have a hard time trying to...

Obviously there are exceptions to almost everything. Not to put words in this particular coaches mouth, but I think he was speaking of his general experience over his 20 years as a college coach. His preference is to get a good player who is also a good student. It's something he and his staff...

Even if you have a player who spends an extra 2 hours every day on their own, working on their game (shooting, weights, film study) which most coaches would consider a very dedicated player, you're adding 14 hours a week, for a total of 34. Should mention that I've traveled with some teams and...

Had a coach once tell me; (paraphrased) " A player that doesn't take care of the classroom details to make himself a better student, probably won't take care of some of the basketball details to make himself a better teammate either. Don't need that kind of guy on my team.".

I'm sure this idea has a million holes, but since a free ride scholarship doesn't seem to be worth anything to these high level athletes in the major sports, why not just eliminate athletic scholarships at the D-1 level for the major money-making sports? Talking football, basketball and maybe...

Well explained. Of course, in the real world, no matter what one does with that money, if it doesn't turn out positively, there will be plenty of detractors here complaining that "You should have known that's what was going to happen and done the other thing! How stupid and short-sighted!"...

I expect the coach to keep me notified, on a daily basis, of his progress in recruiting the portal. His reports should detail all of the athletes he’s been in contact with. The reasoning for him contacting that athlete and not the athlete that I am curious about. Exactly what he said and offered...

Obviously hoops. I kinda follow football. I used to get fired up about the baseball team when I was in high school and college. I always try to keep track of the wrestling team, will check in on their section of the website a couple of times per month in season. Don't see much of them...

I have a friend who is always asking if I saw the game yesterday and my answer, “Naw, I missed it. I was out playing hoops, water skiing, had a softball game, was working out” ect. He has a hard time believing I would miss the big national championship game or World Series game. My answer is...

I was curious about the Fox rebounding numbers toward the end of the season, so I went through the game-by-game box scores for the final 13 games of the year, including the tournament games. those numbers showed 44 rebounds in 243 minutes (might be off by 2 minutes. 3.38 rebounds per game over...

I know of a few college coaches in my area who rarely recruit the immediate area for that exact reason.

Yeah, in terms of how the general public views the overall product. But I will say that most coaches I know, in their day-to-day focus, are putting their attention into team as opposed to individual. I think that when they start talking about indidual players, it's more than likely they were...

Could be the way American society sees things these days. Seems like since the days of Magic and Bird, we tend to celebrate and promote the individual more than the team. It's like individual accomplishments and failures are far more interesting to us as a society than team or group...

It's like the never-ending discussion in most media outlets. The Talent: If it weren't for the product and content we produce, you would have nothing to sell. The Sales: If we didn't sell your content, you'd have to actually go out and find another job. The Management: If we didn't give...

Just gonna say that, even though I feel I have a nice grasp on basketball, I'm also willing to admit that I am not even close to being qualified to actually give a well-established college coach a grade on her job. There is just too much stuff involved with navigating and coaching a college...

Funny, my granddad was bemoaning the destruction of the fabric of America when I was in high school in the early 1970's. I was told it happened in the late 60's, though I'm betting that it started in the 50's when that damm Elvis became famous with his sexual hip-wiggling and such. :)
