That was rough and tumble. Usually it takes me a while to recover from a loss. But I saw possibilities. This is not a team yet. There’s a fair amount of transitions taking place and the old guard is not looking great. There are new pieces that look promising - Rand, and Davis had moments. So, it may take a while. Anywho, my two cents. Watching the process.

Funny some are ridiculing Ralph for not winning in the tourney. How about the current guy recruit and then mold those recruits into a team. Maybe Ralph wasn't real successful in the win/loss of the tourney but he could recruit and mold a team and somehow won 600 games and was inducted into the basketball hall of fame. But to justify tinkles inadequacies you got to try and tear something down. You mean sort of how Wayne Tinkle took a team that started Zach Reichle and lost to Portland early in the year and molded them into a team that made the Elite 8? There's two types of fans on this message board: Those that get pissed when you point out a flaw in a coach like Ralph Miller or Pat Casey, and those who get pissed when you point out a strength in a coach like Wayne Tinkle or Mike Riley. There's no in between. Actually, I think you described one type of fan that gets pissed at both of those things

Here’s a thought. Watch atieshe take the ball up court. He could With some training be taught to be a point guard. He gets up court so fast and he has good vision of the court. He passes unselfishly. His dribbling is not that high for a big guy. He is a great lead for transition fast break. Study this a bit. Many mid bigs have pg ability. I think he could do this with some time. One mans opinion.

I’d say pass. I’m not convinced he’d ever develop into more than a passable PG. I think right now he is better offensively when he gets his points within the offense rather than having to create his own shot. So not sure I want him having to create shots for others. But the big reason is you’re taking him away from his strengths. I’m hoping last night was the tip of the iceberg of what Alatishe can do with Davis at PG. He scored 20 points on a very efficient 9 of 13 shooting.

Well, talk about going out with a whimper! Basically handed 2! chances to win on a silver platter and that’s it? That is disappointing. Maybe we should consult HC J Smith.
