🙄 No Holds Barred Thread - A Haney/DavetheWave Production

Announcer’s comment on this play is the biggest issue with our team right now … opponents are just taller.

Both losses were to teams that played small.

Yeah I think athleticism and wingspan moreso than height is the key.

When other teams go small they are playing athletic-quick guards and long winspanned wings in the front court.

Do you think college coaches measure wingspans of recruits or is that info given by AAU teams etc? Serious ish question cause I dont know

No idea about UVA but I believe at some schools on official visits they do official measurements.

Too many times a scout tells an assistant “Hey I have this 6’8 guy” and then the coach shows up and says “where” as he watches a 6’4 dude playing ball.

Just got my tickets to the UVA - Wake game on the 21st … through the Wake Athletics site - only a total of $7 in fees on top of ticket price for all 3 tickets … beautiful!!!

I plan on going too

No movement on offense everyone just standing

Not to sound insensitive, but does this “For Demar” thing not make much sense for the basketball team to use/say?

  1. Demar wasn’t at Pitt with many (any?) of these Pitt players
  2. By all indications, he seems like he’s going to pull. This is to say while it’s obviously very scary it’s not like the guy had his life taken from him

Also on that note, it seems like the Demar thing is getting far more media coverage and sympathy than the shooting. I understand that the NFL is more of a product well known, but it seems like on a scale of tragedy, the shooting was far worse.

That’s what the name tries to refer to

Here’s a scalding one for y’all: If by some chance this season ends in with an NIT berth, does Tony’s seat get the slightest bit warm from 100 below to 50 below? Or from “I won’t even entertain this chicanery or give you the time of day” to “This is absolutely ridiculous, you’re crazy” Of course, all of this is moot because Tony is the greatest coach we’ve ever had and ever will have, so it would never happen, just food for thought.

No for all the reasons you mentioned but also because we will be looking for a new football coach in the next couple years so we have to start planning for that buyout and search

Dude, no. Cmon man. We could lose out and his seat wouldn’t get the slightest bit warm

Well it’s a fair question…I mean John Calipari’s seat *seems to be warm, even though he has a lifetime contract…But truthfully I don’t think his seat will be warm, but TB just needs to listen to the board- hell we are 300-400 fanatics who provide alot of analytics, discussion, strategy, and FRESH RECRUITING vs. the 5-10 on his coaching staff. :wink:
