  2. For God's sake, leave Cook where he is. Don't kill the VB program!! Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk
  3. Maddie Krull is coming home. She signed with the Huskers out of the portal. Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk
  4. That is a given, per NCAA rules. No possibility of it being a VB scholarship (unless she gives up basketball). Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk
  5. Which two? I know about Mendleson but haven't heard of another. Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk
  6. Did you believe the same when Amy chose to not start Leigha Brown? What could possibly go wrong with that strategy? Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk
  7. Yes, you can pause the radio. I bought an audio delay that allows me to sync to the TV or stream. Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

    Schedule

    So they can sell their subscription service. You really didn't think BTN cared about fans, did you? Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

    Schedule

    B1G hasn't released the schedule yet. Not Moos' fault. Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk
  10. The B1G does NOT value women's athletics equally with men's. Any attempt by the B1G to say otherwise is simply bull$hit. Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk
  11. B1G presidents and chancellor don't give a $hit about their athletes. Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk
  12. So you think that is on the players, not on the coach?
  13. I'd like to say that I wish her well - but, apparently, I'm not that noble.
  14. I really hate this. I like Coach. But it has become time for Moos to get involved. This cannot just be 3 girls getting homesick. There is a deeper issue here. We have noted several times that there seems to be a lack of improvement in the players. Now it appears that Coach has lost (at least a significant part of) the team. This next year is going to be ugly. Our returning team is Helms, Brady, Haiby, Cain, Kissinger and Bourne. Six players!! Add three freshmen and we are playing without any depth. With this mess, why would anyone want to transfer in?
  15. Well, if it isn't a coaching problem that doesn't elevate skill level (because the kids have reached the "highest level of their own capabilities", then it must, therefore, be a recruiting problem.
  16. Which coach is responsible for coaching offense? 4 years into this we need better coaching. If an assistant is in charge of offense, Amy needs to find someone new. If it's Amy, Moos needs to find someone new. After 4 years our players shouldn't look like they were just now introduced to each other. Effort isn't the problem (well, except for Hannah who looks like she checked out several games ago). Talent isn't the problem. That only leaves coaching.
  17. So, which one of our coaches is responsible for designing the offense? We appear to have two different offensive plans, a first-half plan and a second-half plan. The first-half plan is pretty good. The coach who designed the second-half plan (called the slow-motion movement plan) should be traded to a different team.
  18. John Havlicek - Boston Celtics "The best 6th man in the league." Nicknamed "Hondo" (inspired by the 1953 movie of the same name starring John Wayne),[8] Havlicek revolutionized the "sixth man" role, and has been immortalized for his clutch steal in the closing seconds of the 1965 Eastern Conference championship. In the seventh and final game, played at Boston Garden on April 15, the Celtics led the Philadelphia 76ers 110–109 with five seconds left, and only needed to inbound the ball underneath their basket to secure the victory and advance to the 1965 NBA Finals; however, Bill Russell's pass struck a wire which was hanging down from the ceiling and helping to support the baskets, the turnover then giving the 76ers and Wilt Chamberlain the ball and a chance to win the game and the series.[8] Hal Greer was set to throw the inbounds pass for the 76ers. Havlicek stood with his back to Greer, guarding Chet Walker. But as Greer's pass came inbounds, Havlicek spun, leaped, and tipped the pass to Sam Jones.[8] Veteran referee Earl Strom, who wrote this game action in his memoir Calling the Shots, called Havlicek's reaction one of the greatest plays he ever saw in his 32 years as a professional official.[9] Announcer Johnny Most's call of "Havlicek stole the ball!" was dubbed by the NBA as "the most famous radio call in basketball history."[10] Havlicek is the Celtics' all-time leader in points, scoring 26,395 points (20.8 points per game, 16th all-time in points scored in the NBA), and playing in 1,270 games (30th all-time).[11] He became the first player to score 1,000 points in 16 consecutive seasons, with his best season coming during the 1970–71 season when he averaged 28.9 points per game.[12]
  19. Agree with most of your points in all of the post. Not here to defend Mershon starting....but ask this question. How many mistakes, turnovers, etc does she make ? She was asked as a forward to replace another forward. Does lots of different things at different times. Blocks a shot, scores, hustles, can shot 3's, gets a steal now and then, rebounds too, and can defend decently.....just solid play by a rookie freshman. Granted her stats in this game weren't outstanding...but you don't get nervous about when she's going to commit a turnover. Edited Monday at 09:33 AM by redsteve No. Think of her as Nicea as a freshman. She is starting because of her defense and hustle. . . . and because Maddie has been ineffective.
  20. Thought I would chart minutes on the court vs. the players' +/-. Thoughts?
  21. I've wondered if we could document who should be on the floor. I have compared the +/- stats for each B1G game (except Iowa - I can't find the stats for that game). Now, we know that you can't look at +/- stats for only one game. They would depend on who was on the floor with a player, who the other team had on the floor, who was hot or cold, who was in foul trouble, etc. However, after 4 games they are beginning to show some consistency. You be the judge: 2019 Stats Michigan Ohio State Iowa Maryland Rutgers Total Simon -3 -7 -3 -5 -18 Cain 14 -12 -3 -11 -12 Whitish 5 8 -17 -9 -13 Eliely 22 10 -14 -8 10 Kissinger 2 -8 0 -4 -10 Mitchell -16 -4 -20 Mershon 14 18 -18 1 15 Haiby 11 6 -16 -2 -1 Brown 2 11 -5 5 13 Veerbeek 3 19 2 7 31

    Rutgers?

    Just saw the stats. Compare the +/- of the freshmen vs the starters. Wow!
  23. I bought an audio delay just so I could watch the team on TV or live stream and still listen to Matt and Jeff. Best $200 I have ever spent. My wife even agrees with me.
