*beat quality

[olldflame]

So they won CUSA. So what. Then they play a real basketball team and gets blown away by 29. Not even close. Not respectable game. Maybe someone like you is satisfied of just going to the tournament and get blown away. There some of us that wants to see the program go further and best quality teams in the power conferences. The small guards cannot do anything on defense. That is the name of the game. Why do they recruit those big players if they do not know if they have the potential to at least compete? Maybe that’s an error of the coaches.

Boy howdy! Now that right there is some serious, down and dirty mind-blowing arrogance. You must have coached upward bound or something to speak with such confidence about how poor a job our coaches are doing and one bad loss nullifies what up to that point was arguably the most successful season in our program's history.

Fire McKay!!!

I’m sure that you have seen some of the post vinespom has done throughout this year as knowledgeable a LU Armchair coach you are. Maybe you missed it but the smaller guards was better than the taller ones percentage during the year and at the end. Maybe you should put your money where you mouth is and donate to the Flames Rising and make it count. But please make sure to C/O your donations to taller players.

[ECC29]

The smaller guards had better stats on the offense side because they play all the time. Defensively, they were not that effective. Again, playing against quality teams, they cannot win because they have no defense against bigger opponents. That’s FACTS. You can score points but if you give up the same amount or more points, what does it matter?

[paradox]

What facts?

You said it best. You can score points but if you give up as many as you score what’s it matter. LU taller guards would do this. But you definitely see this right?

Oregon 2 guards was 6’ - 6’1” that’s a massive difference. Sounds like you just have a problem with smaller guards maybe you got cut or didn’t make the team?

Just donate to Flames Rising and make sure you get taller players and also tell them to hire another coach cause he knows nothing. How much money are making coaching basketball? HCRM about 1.6 mil I would think he knows a thing or two.

ECC29 tell us how you would fix this?

ECC29 just comes on here and plays johnny one note every time we lose. I really don't know why anyone continues to pay attention to him. We could win a Natty and the guy would still complain.

[LU Armchair coach]

He is on a different spectrum as most of the LU Armchair coaches posting here.

He really needs to send monthly donations to Flames Rising maybe it could help with the type players he wants. Look at BYU they supposedly just bought the best HS senior for next year.

[ECC29]

Maybe it’s not a matter of size but athleticism. You can have a 6’0 guard that can handle both ends of the court. But the LU guards cannot handle the defensive end. This was shown time and time again. Some of you here got your nose too far in the coach’s you know what. Then it’s a matter of coaching ability to bring in better athletic players especially in the guard position. As I am sticking to facts. The small guards have difficulty defending the opponents athletic guards. Also, when they dribble penetrate, they can’t finish to score because they just can’t. The opponent is too athletic for them. In does not matter which team they play against.

So ineffective we only won 28 games this year. 10 win improvement over last year. But you conveniently ignore those FACTS to beat your tired, worn out drum. Not sure what your beef is with the team(s) or school, but you really should seek some help. You need more positivity in your life.

[paradox]

…facts…

These may be common misconceptions, but not facts

[paradox]

Porter & Metheny are both solid defenders. Both have the foot speed, balance, and agility to restrict space and cause disruption.

Do they frequently hold their matchups below averages? You can look it up, but I’d be surprised if that were not the case.

At the end of the day, no one looks forward to having a sub par outing against a pair of pesky, hard-nosed, relentless short dudes constantly getting in your space. Hence, the intentional push-offs, elbows, and other forms of clown contact. Why even risk doing it, if they’re not creating problems?

[paradox]

Each person must take inventory of themselves and how they arrive at their conclusions

Ok, so what is athleticism to you? Your theory has no evidence to back it up. Alabama has 2 small guards in Sears @ 6'1" & Holloway listed at 6'1" both have big hair, I have stood by both, and I would bet 6'1" isn't the case. My thoughts are the system they are in and the players behind them. Alabama smaller guards have someone to clean the mess up they leave behind them. Maybe you are really blinded and just want to see a 5'10 or 11" white kid that don't have a jumping jack behind them. Sounds like by reading your LU Armchair coaches post you really don't have a clue about basketball in general and just have some sort of beef with HCRM or LUMBB in general. But definitely a problem within.

ECC29 please take it upon yourself to donate monthly to Flames Rising and label it bigger guards. It may work for you.

You really are just a moron. If you watch any games since HCRM has been back at LU his teams don’t have what most coaches call a mid range game. It’s either a 3pt shoot or at the rim. With that said.

Kaden is dribble penetrating as you called it and said they can’t at 51%

Collin is dribble penetrating as you called it and said they can’t at 57%.

Maybe you should do to things.
1. Donate to collective (Flames Rising) for bigger guards
2. Do research before you speak. You are wrong and numbers prove it. Today’s game is analytic based. And those 2 are at the top in CUSA in defense also.



What do you think about that oldflame?

[olldflame]

Wooley to Louisville.

[paradox]

Is Pierre done?

[LU Armchair coach]

At JAX ST.

[olldflame]

I thought his eligibility had expired as well, but he is in the portal; one of 3 CUSA players on ESPNs top 50 transfer list, along with Wolley and Wilkerson.

[LU Armchair coach]

All so called 1st teamers.

[olldflame]

All so called 1st teamers.

Wilkerson is the best of the 3 IMHO. Pierre is overrated. Won POY because he scored a few more points on a zillion more shots. We absolutely stifled him. Wolley was impressive for a FR.

Isn't taking more shots & scoring more points what all the Armchair coach posters think is most beneficial to being the best player on team? I thought Pierre was really good he just couldn't determine a good shot from a bad one, and he took a lot of bad ones. What about Porter from MTSU we did a number on him also. Woolley was really good, but he didn't force the issue like the others did. I thought he just let the game come to him and could just jump in at any time and make a play. He will do well next year in the ACC.

My favorite stat is "Effective FG %, which is where you take the number of 2s made and add the number of 3s made x 1.5, then divide by the number of total FG attempts. The NCAA only publishes it as a team stat, not individual. Liberty finished 2nd in the nation this year at .583; just behind Cornell and ahead of Duke

oldflame i will officially not use LU Armchair coach when speaking with you. YOU GET IT.
