How did you remember all that, Rod? The King had his own limo that followed the team bus. He had a few bucks. What a character. He always thought of Namath as the poor man's Corcoran.

Speaking of the name "Corcoran," Keith's brother (different name) is playing for CCRI.

There was a restaurant in Coatesville (I think) known as The Inn of the Four Falls. Visible water falls on all sides. What a great place to bring a date.
Ah, the good old days.

I think the offense looks better lately. The health of the players figures prominent in that area.

TJ was hurt earlier in the year, his decisive ability to go to the rack strong or pass the ball is very helpful. His leadership is just incredible this year.

EC "on" helps the team.... jury is still out on if his presence hinders Jared in some way.

Hassan coming off a screen down low into a hook shot is deadly. Rebounding... Everything... His stoic demeanor.

Jarvis creates and his elbow shot falls. I think his 3 could get hot at the right time. 1 of the best ballhandlers in the A10 IMHO.

Gil, has been hurt. His best basketball really kicked off this win streak. Always has the valuable hook shot though.

Biggie! his drives are needed. He makes 2-4 athletic plays a game that give him some floater that really help.

Jared is boom or bust right now. I prefer him aggressive, but personally can't argue with his approach. He clearly effects the game on so many levels and tries to ensure victory.

Reischel has offered valuable minutes lately in his ability to make an open shot and take a layup. He also was a beast rebounding against Richmond for whatever reason.

Earl maybe my favorite Ram. He is a 6'6 monster around the rim with the ball in his hands. If he cant dunk it? He gets it in the hole some other way. His D isn't great but him with the ball inside 8 feet is impossible to stop.

Love Hurley admitting he lied while recruiting Terrell and Garrett.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 9 years ago

That's a little white lie. Quite acceptable in my book, when it comes to recruiting.

There's a lot worse that could happen.

If you read the comments of OUR coach and don't love the way he is building this program you are an idiot. I couldn't think of anyone else I would want leading this team.

He says all the right things, he is a thinking mans coach, he is inside the players head. He doesn't hide behind coach speak, given our recent history I think that is great.

Agree he should be a favorite, but disagree about his D not being great. Not that it's a high standard right now, but he is our best low post/big body defender down low.

Though people have said he's missed some rotations and his X's and O's are lacking, when you watch him play, even if he's missing something on a play call, he's making an impact.

During the Richmond game every time the ball went down low, Gil would get backed down and give up the easy bucket. Every time they tried that on Earl, they would realize they hit a wall, and would have to put the ball back up top and reset. On the offensive end he's made a lot of passes before the assist, and knows how to maximize his length. He's certainly not as athletic as Hass, or has a shot from 10 feet like Gil, but I would argue his minutes off the bench have been the most important to us all season.

Seriously every time he comes in, even if it's for 2-4 minutes, good things happen.

His playing time (earl) depends on match up and foul situation. Against GW in the first half he did a great job on Larson, that is where he is best. Unfortunately the A10 doesn't have many pure post players like Larson.

Seawrightspostgame · Unread post by **Seawrightspostgame** » 9 years ago

Earl is a wall, he gets a lot of fouls from puttin his hands on guys. Or puffing his chest out on them, Refs should lay off those calls.

I've liked the way he has played recently. Had a couple big offensive rebounds in the Richmond game. In his limited minutes in the GW, had a couple boards & a steal & against Fordham had a big 3. I can see him getting a few more minutes against St. Joe's tonight.

I hope we don't need Reischel much tonight.
For every good play he makes, he make a bonehead one.
Did anyone notice that Butler was a DNP, even though all our
guards were in foul trouble?

Butler guarding Kendall Anthony would be scarier than any horror movie ever made.

Gil could be well served by a rest day or two, similar to EC. In the meantime, if Reischel can just stick to what he does best on not try to do things like handle the ball in transition then I think this team could get by without Gil for a game or two. Better to have him closer to full strength for the stretch run. I'd kind of like to see what Earl could do with a more prominent role, anyways.

As much as I admire his toughness, if it is a close decision Gil should sit.

I don't know, the second half of the Richmond game was kind of a horror movie in itself. I was thinking today that if we get a first round bye in the A10 Tournament that we could face Richmond in our first game. I would think that our Coaching staff could come up with some options. I did not see the game live, but kept track on my I-Phone, then I watched the next day. I expected officiating to be far worse than I saw on the replay based on the board reactions of the In-Game, but I was amazed at teh play of Anthony.
I did not think Anthony should have been selected for first team All Conference and still didn't prior to our game, but after that exhibition I changed my mind.

I don't like Anthony's game at all. Gimmicky game, and totally dependent on referee's protection - both to get him to the line and to get the game to a place where he cannot be defended like any other player. I hope to avoid ever watching him play again if I can help it, so I hope you aren't right about facing Richmond in the tournament. If I had an all-conference vote he wouldn't even be a consideration for my ballot.

Bill Belichick gave the injury report.

St. Joe's is the smallest team we face, besides Dayton.
Hassan and Big Earl should be fine, as long as the zebra's
don't call fouls for breathing on St. Joe's players.

There were even Richmond fans on their board saying that he is totally dependent on the refs bailing him out all the time. I take their word for it since they watch him all the time.

I think Garino drops down and I guess Weber.
Hassan has a shot to move into the group; EC will have to finish strong.

Just one man's opinion. I think it is ingrained in me to be aggravated by little water bug guards because I was a pretty long guard and had a really tough time checking quick tiny guys. Also, I hate when refs officiate the game differently based on who they are officiating. It wasn't fair that it was impossible to foul Shaq, and it isn't fair that it is impossible NOT to foul Anthony. He shouldn't get special treatment because he is built like a fifth grader.

And he bothers me especially; his game is all awkward floating, stepback, off balance gimmickry, and I am a huge fan of not that. It is the basketball equivalent of boxing lefty or throwing a knuckleball.

I see an undersized player who has had to be creative his whole life while playing a big man's games. I'm amazed when his shots go in. Without him, Richmond loses by 20 to URI. URI could not guard him and Hassan couldn't even block his shots.

To be clear, I don't disagree with one word of this. I just have a personal preference for more conventional, I guess.

The LIVE NOW video that says St. Josephs is actually the Women's game which IS a premium game. Further down that list of shows on the right you will see Men's BB with URI and Joe's which is NOT a premium game. It is not currently airing, but is scheduled to go live around 6:40 (2 minutes).

Also, while we're talking A10 network streaming, if you have a mobile device or tablet such as iPhone or iPad, you MUST download the FREE Atlantic 10 app and go to the LIVE section in the menu to watch the video.
