Yup, which just goes to show that I should never make guesses about anything.Native wrote:Coach Hurley stated in the post-game comments on 920AM that Hare sat out for disciplinary reasons.SGreenwell wrote:My completely uneducated guess - I think Hare is out this game for injury reasons.

Evidently Hare got thrown out of practice yesterday, and so sat out today's game.
I thought that as well, but in the past game when he was a game-time decision, they basically had him go through warm-ups to kind of prove that he was able to handle it and what not, because his back had been flaring up, IIRC. I just assumed he had given it a go, and wasn't going to play, and if it's 15 to 30 minutes before game time that they're making the call, then he wouldn't have changed back into street clothes probably - might as well have him sit there in his uniform to make La Salle wonder, at least until the 10 minute mark when Brooks comes in.twisted3829 wrote:my guess at the game was disciplinary reason since he sat between Hurley and Murphy the entire game in uniform.

He's going to do that every year regardless, no single player is more important than the team.RIFan wrote:This is the perfect year for Hurley to put his foot down and show the players who's boss. We are going nowhere, so this year can be all about establishing the "culture" without worrying about wins.

I found that kind of interesting as well, as well as the heaps of praise he laid at the feet of the transfers. If you're assuming that the transfers can contribute plenty of minutes, and Aaman is the third big man, that basically leaves scraps for Hare next year. He might be a 5 to 10 minute a game guy until he's a junior or senior, so it'll be interesting to see where things go from here. (I think Aaman might also be in the same boat, but he's a completely different player in almost every regard from Hare. As good as he's been at times this year, it's hard to see how he gets a lot better, outside of adding more muscle on his frame and maybe a bit more touch on his jumper.)CTRamfan wrote:I thought Hurley's last comment during the press conference was telling.

They are certainly squarely on the bubble.Iggy1979 wrote:BTW, no way Lasalle is a tournament team
Hurley likes to use his roster. I think there will be minutes for Aaman, how many game by game will depend on match-ups. Aaman's priority has been playing for the Hurleys. He had a chance to start this year and get more minutes in the NEC but came along knowing he'd have a different role.SGreenwell wrote:I found that kind of interesting as well, as well as the heaps of praise he laid at the feet of the transfers.

Agree with this. Aaman is great if he's the tallest guy on the court, or only giving up a couple inches in height / reach. But there have been plenty of games this year where it's clear he's having trouble hanging with the big men, and looking at his game and his body, it seems unlikely that he's going to suddenly gain a bunch of height or get long enough / quick enough to stop some of the skilled big men.Iggy1979 wrote:Things to consider: this was a good matchup for Mike. There are teams that's not the case. Hare would have had 4 lob dunks in this game. I think there's room on this team for both of them, and Big O.
But did you listen to what Hurley said about being a good fit for this program? The talk about Hare right now has little to do with his talent. He got kicked out of practice and suspended for the game for lack of effort.rhodyfan3 wrote:Everybody takes things way too seriously. Okay hare didn't play today, lets talk about him getting with the program or leaving... Dear lord. Hurley said it will be tough for him. He's playing a lot more minutes than he should be. He's raw, he needs to add size and learn some post moves. I'm not saying he'll be an all star but his upside is big. Sometimes instead of ripping these guys we should be talking about the positives they bring to the table.
As for Powell, he's doing his best. He's made some improvements from last year and I don't want to see him leave. He can be a solid player off the bench next year. He knows the offense and can shoot pretty well.
These guys are athletes at the division 1 level. We are all sitting at our computers critiquing them. Don't get me wrong, we can critique them and coaching. That's what this site is made for. We can all have opinions and be harsh on players. But there is a point where we need to just chill out and be positive. As Rods quote says "in Hurley we trust"!! So lets Dan so his job and let the chips fall as they may. Go rhody!
But it's actually not a one-time thing. For the team's sake, I hope Hare responds to the challenge.rhodyfan3 wrote:Everyone gets heated. I just don't want any assumptions made after one incident. That's all ace. Not trying to start any heated discussion.
I completely agree. I think this teams future looks better with hare in the picture.ace wrote:But it's actually not a one-time thing.
