Re: Assistant Coach Opening in Men's Basketball

I think Bozeman is a huge upgrade to the staff. The two young assistants will benefit from his presence. Cox might call on Todd's experience when needed. Cox had a really "light weight" group of assistants in my opinion. c I think that the program is poised for success. A good roster, than...

Re: A10 Outlook for 21-22

I agree with your assessment. I think we are the hardest team to predict........Coach did a good job recruiting. Too many new pieces this past year. BUT, the collapse down the stretch was a big red flag. Was it coaching, or the style of play. As much as I respect Fatts, Coach had to make some compro...

Re: Fatts needs to shoot less and pass more

Fatts value to the offense is 1.15 points per shot [PPS]. He creates movement in the offense. Draws defenders away from the post. Creates foul problems for the opponent..............yes his PPS comes in an unusual way, p0rimarily free throws. He brings a different look, that creates open shots for S...
