Starting 5

I majored in gym because I like to watch teen aged boys shower. Some people called it physical education, I calls it gym, hmm mm.

You know how I can tell SunnyD is writing nonsense or outright lying? His fingers are moving.
Lapchick, Carnesecca, Fischer, Kryshevski and Boheim quickly come to mind.  And my mind doesn't work too well. Yes it is.  Thank g*d for Depaul. We're the second worst team in the conference this millennium and I don't think anybody can even formulate an argument to the contrary. [Buzzer sound]
You really need a proof reader.  See the aforementioned Lapchick and Carnesecca above.

Carmine- the only coach who lost to DePaul with regularity is your boy. 

We have only had 2 bad coaches in school history.

10 bad years doesn’t make this program bad.

If your boy stayed home we wouldn’t even be having this conversation.

Resume- I meant new hires.

This is irrelevant to my point that Depaul is the only worse BE program than us this millennium.  However, since you brought it up, Mullins lifetime record against Depaul is 5 and 4. Only you would construe beating Depaul 56% of the time as 'losing to Depaul with regularity'.

Imagine how little about basketball you'd have to know to best CA in an argument. Or almost anything. Saxophones for example. The mind boggles. And yet:

Record vs DePaul

Norm Roberts: 7-3 (70 %)
Chris Mullin: 5-4 (55 %)
Steve Lavins: 6-5 (54 %)

Hmm mmm.

Sorry to get back to you guys so late. I was at the beach. Watching teenage boys swim. That's why I majored in gym. Full pay not go to work is really nice, hmm mmm

You're being cheated slingblade: if there were any justice in the world you'd be paid twice your full salary to not teach.     

Sorry to get back to you guys so late. I was at the beach. Enjoying my summer. That’s why I majored in gym. Full pay not go to work is really nice.
The hero 5-4 vs DePaul. So in the last 4 years he won 15 games and you guys are bragging. Great point.

Saxophones for example. 

Yeah but I'm learning.  I'm seeing world class sax left and right. Some of it's almost as good as an aborigine banging on a rock.  Nothing like summertime in New York.

If no one else is added to the 2019 class, which looks unlikely at this point here's how I think lineups play out.

Here's starting the season, assuming Steere has to sit-out first semester.  I believe all 11 guys here will see minutes until he figures lineups out.

1 - Rutherford / Dunn / McGriff
2 - Heron / Williams
3 - LJ / Champagnie
4 - Caraher / Earlington
5 - Sears / Roberts

Starting lineup by conference play.  I think he only plays 5 guys at the three guard spots, and rotate 4 guys among the 2 forward spots.

G - Dunn / Rutherford / McGriff
G - Heron / Williams
G - LJ / Caraher
F - Champagnie / Earlington
F - Steere / Sears / Roberts

Dunn is not a PG.

Do it by committee, If they aren’t pressing, then you need to have your three best scorers in there in Dunn, Heron, and LJ, but knowing Mike, he loves his seniority players so I figure Rutherford will play more then he should.

Dunn is not a PG.

Doesn't matter if he's a true PG or not, CMA doesn't care about that, if you've watch his previous teams, you'll notice most of the lineups he's played during his coaching career doesn't have a true PG in it.  You'll hear him saying "PG by committee" a lot at press conferences, he likes combo guards and versatile forwards that can all handle the ball and bring it up the court to keep a fast tempo going. 

One of the best teams had he at Arkansas that nearly upset UNC (they won the National Championship that year) had a guard combination of Daryl Macon, Dusty Hannahs, and Jaylen Barford who played the majority of the minutes together and started the majority of the season, all of those guys were combo guards.

And Banner is also right, CMA loves upperclassmen, Rutherford, being the oldest guy on the team, will play a lot of minutes, unless he's just absolutely terrible.

I understand PG by committee, but I don’t think you understand Heron’s game. He doesn’t create and he when he drives he puts his head down and telegraphs it.

In order for PG by committee to work you need to get at least a PG worth of creativity from three and I don’t see it with Heron being one of those three.

I don’t know if McGriff would be ready, is Williams pretty good?
