Game #15: @Xavier 1/5 430P FOX

no one said the best.

Why does that bother you so much? 

At the end of the day the players need to make plays.

Most shots are going to be contested, players need to make plays.

Now wait just one cotton picking minute.  If Gil Scott doesn't go all John Starks on us and shoots 1 for 12; 0 for 5 from 3; with 1 assist and 4 turnovers last year against Hurley. Mullin pulls off the impossible and gets an Ncaa win at St. Johns, altering the course of history forever.

And you got the nerve to now say "players need to make plays" to defend CFC?

I’m defending Andersons offensive system. The offensive system isn’t the problem. Same with Mullin and if someone said thats why Mullin lost in the playin game I would have said the same thing. Mullin lost games in general because he didn’t value the defensive side of the ball. 

Once Anderson rebuilds this roster you’ll see they’ll be a better offensive team in the half court.

My bad. The way posters lick his b*lls on here before he's accomplished anything, I just assumed he was the best. It doesn't bother me in the least.  I'm just defending the face of the program, as we all should, and blowing back at the false narrative that our favored son was terrible and a new coach we don't know from Adam that thus far has done nothing is the bomb.

How about this fair deal? If CFC qualifies once for the Ncaa tournament in his first 3 years and twice in 4 years, if he lasts that long, I'll admit he's a better coach than Mullin.

No, they won't. Just go to the Arkansas message boards. Same complaints every year:

* no half-court offense
* players standing around
* getting beat on the boards
* free throw shooting
* no inbound plays

His teams were always uneven. One year he had 8 or 9 seniors.

just real tired of your defense of coach LAZY ass.

I for one don't give a hoot what you admit 

The getting beat on the boards aspect seems inaccurate based on what I’ve seen thus far, but the other stuff is clear as day and has been relayed to us by multiple Arkansas fans.

We have the worst inbounds plays since I’ve been a fan. At the end of the Vermont game we literally didn’t have a play down 2 with 3 seconds inbounding the ball. Even CYO coaches have a play for that scenario.

He doesn’t seem to be able to utilize good scorers...just makes them go one on one. Heron would be filthy for Butler or Creighton.

If CFC doesn't dance around here for a few years or never, I'm going to have a chuckle when the Mullin haters admit he's better than the Razorback.  I won't be happy about it but I'll have a laugh all the same.

How could someone be worse?

Because inbounds plays get talked about so often when talking about a lack of coaching,  said no one ever

I will say St. Jean's success rate off of timeouts and inbound plays was pretty off the charts.

That's all well and good but I'll take a coach who's focused on implementing strong rebounding and defensive principles over a coach who draws up good inbounds plays any day.

This is not encouraging and is compounded by inferior incoming talent

So we are back to the false narative of the recruits being inferior? Most fans are very happy with our class to date as they all are performing at a high level so far this season. HS recruits Posh and Wasu doing well against a national schedule as are the two JUCO recruits. Not to mention your talent evals over the years leave a lot to be desired.

Well considering we've been out rebounded by double digits in every conference game so far I feel like we've have a lot of things we can improve on.
