On if Kennedy was relaxed for a reason…

"I think he was relaxed because he was more mature. He understood. And that’s how we hit it. When I  talked to the team and we had lost the game, the next day I had said to them this is what I’m going to do. I talked to the league office and I said this is what we’ll do. Since we had a really hard loss and I know everyone is down, why don’t we just forfeit the rest of our games, I talked to the league and the league said we could forfeit the rest of our games. And so of course they all turned to me and they said coach, I don’t know what your talking about. And I said, ok now im going to tell you how im really thinking. We played four games in nine days. That is extremely hard in this league, and two of those games were played at the furthest places in our league. We play those games and then in the end if I said to you that we are going to be three in one after those games everybody in here would be happy. Not totally happy but happy. Now we had a chance to be three in one in those games if we can beat South Florida at South Florida. So I think it relaxed the room and they were all fine and then we focused in on practice."

This made no sense, I have no idea what he's talking about.

The replay is on SNY right now

I think the point was that if you looked at those 4 games and said that we would win 3 of them, most would think that that is a good showing.  The message was that we shouldn't dwell too much on the 1 loss, albeit to Seton Hall.  The forfeit part was to get the kids to decide whether they want to give up or quit fighting.  At least for one game, it worked.

 Maybe next year Norm will be a motivational speaker.

no baldi the question should be what kinda car does his family drive. dave did u see justins female cousin she is a jacksonville jaguars cheerleader and she lives out there. yikes

this is a shpeil he'll be giving monasch and harrington before the marquette game.  this and coach casey's primer on practice that appeared on this board about a week ago.

wipe out the record, we won three of four.  if we beat marquette, norm is guaranteed to return.  guaranteed.  in fact, they may not wait to take a chance on a marquette loss to make the announcement.

sorry.

Justin Brownlee came up really big when we need a basket desperately> He hit a 3 when USF had reduced the lead to4 points and then hit a driving layup.

Big shots at the right time. I would really like to see Burrell, Brownlee, Mason, Hardy and Boothe on the court together.

I really like Brownlee as a player. And I was thrilled when that shot went down. It was a huge shot. But it was an awful shot. He shouldn't be shooting 3's in any situation let alone in that one. One of our biggest problems is when guys on the team make mistakes they are not corrected. The same mistake happens over and over. If Evans goes coast to coast through 5 guys and scores a big basket next game I will be happy we scored the basket but he has to know he cant do that.
When you watch SJU it seems everyone has the green light to do anything. Brownlee shoots 3's any time he is open. I am not sure the percentage (cant be good). Lately he was missing by feet. Paris and Evans are out of control at times and take bad shots every game.
On a positive note it seems like the coaches are really stressing that our PGS get involved in the offense. Boothe and Stith combined for 10 plus yesterday. Neither took  a bad shot.

I think that it's very surprising that Stith made an actual basket.
TyShawn Edmonson had more success last year in the BE.

Edmonson was a better scorer but he couldn't even dribble the ball up court. We needed a Back up PG. Sadly We we need a starting PG more.

Good analysis. You are right on that green light, do whatever craziness.No good coach would allow that. Brownlee is shooting 20 % on three's (no coach wants a player shooting 3's unless that are at least 30%..perferably 35%)

we need for justin to get more shots. it looks like he is back.wasju what u think about the rebounding so far

Marquette will be a nice test for Justin. Be nice to steal one at Alumni Hall.
He wasn't getting position on defense at all earlier in the year.

It's allowed him to rebound, and guard his man. Seriously, though, if he keep playing like this, he needs to get the ball as much possible. Horne made 3-3 from downtown. That's a fluke. He won't repeat that. It will be harder for Boothe to score against Marquette. USF and ND don't d up, so Malik had some opps, but this is a different story. We're going to need JB, and we're going to need to feed him the ball like it's our best option.

Trying to match them 3 pointer for 3 pointer will kill us.

Anybody notice that Norm switched from a zone to man-to-man after USF had NO ANSWER for the zone in the first half.  They scored 20-something.

What is wrong with this guy?

Then we go on a 7-0 run, so he subs out two players.  Who does that?

It did seem odd that switched the defense, but this was a case where what he did worked, so it's going to be hard to blame him for a blow out win.

He tries this zone crap with Marquette, we'll lose by 30.

Horne made 3-3 from downtown. That's a fluke. He won't repeat that.

He's the 2nd best 3 point shooter on the team and is shooting just a slightly lower percentage than D-buckets (37% to 39%).

It's not a fluke. Perhaps a flounder?

His regression is a major reason why we've struggled. He doesn't seem to have the ability to come up with the big shot, and he's a shooting guard. I know his numbers overall are okay,
but I think this is a case where stats lie a bit.

He doesn't make big shots, and he starts at the 2. He doesn't rebound, handle or pass very well for that matter, and a he's a junior. Roberts really dropped the ball sticking with him.

BUT, the nice thing is, we'll get to see how he does against a Marquette team that won't give Horne the same wide open shots that USF did.

I don't think Horne regressed.  He was a very limited player last year.  I got into it with many board members with my favorable remarks to DJ and tough criticism of Horne.  He has gaping holes in his game. 

Last year he scored a bunch wide open baskets in games tht were already decided.  Go back and look and just about every game he did well, we got blown out.
