Fire Miles Talk (complete BS)

Speaking of Andrew White, I've watched a few of his games.  Here are some observations and a question.

1.  Andrew White plays every minute of every game for Syracuse.

2.  Yet, he rarely exerts much energy--rarely breaks a sweat.  Here's why: (I) on defense, he guards a small area to the right of the lane and moves very little on any defensive possession; and (Ii) on offense, he hangs around the wings behind the three point line and occasionally drives to the rim.

Question:  I wonder if these zone-only teams have an advantage in fewer injuries over the course of a season, since man-only teams work hard on every defensive stand?  

 

 

I've watched AWIII in person while he has been on Syracuse's roster and I paid very particular attention to his game play:

 

1. Yes. He plays the full 40 minutes. He gets a lot of points for the team, but he's not very efficient getting to those points. He's much more of a volume shooter, especially considering the amount of time he's out on the court.

 

2. He spends minimal energy throughout the entire game. Whenever there were free throws by the opposing team, he would literally stand right under the Syracuse hoop every single time. Whenever there was ball movement on offense, he would occasionally move around, but he just hovered around a segment of the arc most of the time. He rarely spent any time inside the three-point arc.

 

Bonus: The Syracuse fans that I've sat around kept saying things like "There's no way he's going to get drafted in the first round like they say he will" and "he's not that great of a guy we were told."

Andrew White Sr. and LaVar Ball are pen pals

It would be much more effective if top donors were on this bandwagon.

Not sure I follow.  Are you saying you think some of the top donors want Miles out?

I think he was probably talking more in terms of the Pelini/Yori situation?  That's how I read it anyway.

I don't know about that, @hhcdimes can you clarify?

If the people that put the most $$$$ money toward the basketball program don't want to get rid of Miles, that would go a long way towards Miles being back here next year.

Thanks for the clarification. Some were not certain of what you meant on prior posting...

Do we have any inkling as to the prevailing sentiment of the large MBB Donors?

This statement is devoid of inkling either way.

BTW, who do you think the communication came from that "Husker Power" before the game was unsportsmanlike and who do you think directed it not be used anymore?

ConkTrifecta or Blackshirt should start a new thread on why it would be asinine to fire Miles this year. I am somewhat embarrassed to think that this particular thread may become the longest one in the history of HHC!

 

"Eichorst" is veerrrrry similar to "Eichman."  As in Adolf.  Coincidence?

 

(Sorry for the Hitler reference but I didn't think this thread, in the history of the internet, should be the one that disproves Godwin's Law.)

As they say on the internet, a thread without a Nazi reference is like a day without sunshine.

Exactly!  A core centered, senior led team is still two years out.

Looking up on cbs sports, we have the #1 SOS with what is considered the 3rd youngest(behind Kentucky &a Oklahoma) of the major conference teams, averaging only 19.7 years old.

 

i know youth in basketball can be misleading, but when it isn't 5 star talent, it takes development. This team shows too much promise for next year to break it up.

 

If next year doesn't show much improvement, I think a change would be necessary, though.

Well there is the kiss of death.  How many times has the managment come out supporting a coach and then can them like a week later. 

 

I say this with tongue in cheek, but not to firmly placed...
