Coach’s Shows 2022-23

[Jersey77]

For those that got to listen what were the takeaways thanks

Actually nothing really new that we haven't discussed.

Archie talked about past history with Cooley.

Also the key to winning is ball security (limiting turnovers) and rebounding.
Plus of course making shots.

He feels the team has really improved and gave props to Ish and Bray.
The frontcourt needs to step-up.
He is impressed by Bilau's fast progress and work ethic.
Must be patient with Weston.

Didn't hear anything about Carey's injury.

He is looking forward to a packed and loud RC.

Thanks 77 great recap

Not really.
Just mentioned that Martin's maturity and steady play is vital to this team's success, or something like that.
Didn't get the impression his injury is anything serious.

He seems slower, less agile and unable to jump as normal compared to the past. Ankle seems to be holding him back. Getting his shot blocked because of jumping limitation.

Yes, I also thought so.
But that wasn't brought up.

[reef]

I am calling it here Malik gets @ least 10 on Saturday!

[Jdrums#3]

I agree his maturity and experience are important to this version of Rhody. And, as others have posted, I also think the injury could be bothering his lift, explosiveness and foot speed.

[RhowdyRam02]

Did anyone at the game hear more information about Wednesday's coach's show? I didn't and as best as I can tell the location is still to be determined

[section(105)]

Anybody hear of the TBD location for the Wednesday Show?

[section(105)]

Nothing, crickets, post game didn’t mention it that I heard.

[RhowdyRam02]

Still listed as TBD on GoRhody. Haven't heard anything about it. I guess I'll turn on the Varsity app at 7:30 and see what happens

[KevanBoyles]

Varsity not showing a Coach’s Show tonight. I’m pretty sure it was listed last night.

[RhowdyRam02]

Supposed to be another coach's show Monday at 7:30, location to be determined according to GoRhody. No information at the game or on the post game show that I noticed

[section(105)]

If this one doesn’t go, sad state of affairs we can’t get those scheduled shows going.

[ATPTourFan]

Arch still gets paid for them no matter what.

[Blue Man]

If this one doesn’t go, sad state of affairs we can’t get those scheduled shows going.

I think the last one was cancelled due to illness. Would assume that threw all the sponsorships for a loop and they've gotta scramble to figure out who gets what.

[Jdrums#3]

Very well reasoned, BlueMan. However, in the spirit of 72…

It’s all Thorr’s fault.

[RhodyKyle]

Very well reasoned, BlueMan. However, in the spirit of 72…

It’s all Thorr’s fault.

Careful, if more people say this then Blue Man will have to set up a face punching booth next to the Pub to deal with you all... s/ (if it wasn't obvious)

[RhowdyRam02]

Here is the information on tonight's show

[PeteRI]

It appears the Varsity app isn't saving either of the coaches' shows. I was really hoping to hear Tammi and her players first show last week. At least they've got a lot of great results to talk about.

[section(105)]

Steve said couple of times, tonite 730 Mews.

[reef]

Cool please post the takeaways thanks

[KevanBoyles]

I loved Archie talking about getting big and tough like we had with Hassan, Iverson, EC, and Jared.

[section(105)]

Big picture stuff, very impressed by Alex.

[KevanBoyles]

Alex T seems to be a kid you would really want to root for. Prior to this year, he never played the 5. 2X All SEC Academic at Alabama.

[LoveThoseRams]

Loved the interview with Alex…so mature and grounded.

[RhodyRams916]

What was Tchikou talking about in the interview? Curious to know.

[section(105)]

What was Tchikou talking about in the interview? Curious to know.

Playing out of position, learning the 5 position out of necessity, his youth in France, learning basketball their, coming to US at age 15, learning language, prep experience, bit of ‘Bama, Archie recruiting him off portal, relationships with teammates……….Steve did outstanding job

I agree. Steve has been great this year. I like the new 1 hour format. Archie talks a blue streak. Steve is much more serious with Archie. Not much there there to work with interviewing DC.

[sevegny7]

Just bumping this due to the Coaches show being scheduled for tonight at the Mews Tavern for 730pm.

It looks like Ish Leggett and Justin Mazzulla (Grad Assistant) will also be in attendance on the show as well.

Should be a good one after this past week.

Awesome !! As usual please post the takeaways for those that can’t listen thanks

……Toot Toot….

[Billyboy78]

Good show. Ish is one impressive kid. If he plays 2 more years here, I'll be a happy guy.

[LoveThoseRams]

Why doesn't Varsity Ap have the recording of Archie's Shows? They posted Tammi's show.

[PeteRI]

Why doesn't Varsity Ap have the recording of Archie's Shows? They posted Tammi's show.

Where is Tammi's archived show? All I see on this stupid app are future streaming programs/games.

Somebody in the athletic department needs to get their arms around this POS app. Smalltime universities not only archive programs but also have dedicated regular podcasts. Steve and Chris are a first-class team. They should have a regular program about both of our BB teams!

Thanks for this. Someone should tell Varsity to get their shit together and put this on the app.

[RhowdyRam02]

Should be another coach's show for Archie tonight at 7:30, not sure where it's going to be held though

Mews

[Jersey77]

Stone filling in for Steve who is sick.
Nothing new regarding the Bray situation, more ball handling time for Bassy and Carey.
Hutch may have an opportunity to see more court time.
Archie said he may experiment with a bigger line-up.
Discussed road difficulties: rebounding and turnovers.
Big improvement on Alex's play and he sees it in practice.
VCU will be a very physical and tough match-up.
Scheduling is very difficult especially with the P5 schools.
Looking forward to the HOF Tip-Off Mohegan Sun.

[adam914]

That's great to hear about Tchikou. I feel like it's been evident in games that he is improving but to hear its being seen in practice to is encouraging.

[KevanBoyles]

Stone doing a nice job on the show.

[bigappleram]

It baffles me that people don’t see potential A10 caliber talent in Weston and Tchikou. It’s only glimpses but they are only first year players.

[Rhody15]

I think people see A10 talent, just not all conference type difference makers.

That’s fair but way too soon IMO esp on Weston who I think has that ceiling. But also even a good A10 team isn’t going to have 4-5 all league starters. There is a need for other pieces. I can count on 1 hand how many 6’11 guys we have had that could get up where Alex does.

Jimmy Ball, a walk on guard, and Sebastian Thomas were the guest following Miller.

Miller said scheduling is very tough for P5 schools and specifically mentioned the 20 games that P5 Conferences play now plus the role of the TV Networks in arranging the P5 Conferences playing one another that also takes up valuable potential games for Mid Majors. Tammi Reiss said she had the same difficulty getting quality games when she put together this year's schedule. She said she could not get P5 or Big Programs to play. It's a problem.

Miller mentioned effort multiple times and said we need to play unselfish basketball.

Miller is looking forward to the rest of the conference games, playing 3 upcoming home games and the A10 Tournament.

Interesting that he mentioned "unselfish basketball". Sometimes I felt like Brayon was being too selfish with the ball.

I felt that the unselfish basketball was a reference to Freeman and how we can now become unselfish. I never bought that Freeman had to take so many shots because the rest of the team was so inept. At any rate, we will see now how the team does. My guess is much more passing, less dribbling, more players involved in the offense. Hope so anyway.
