His prime characteristic has actually been rampant cheating. The thuggery is a secondary aspect of his coaching prowess. [Reply]

Yeah the rampant cheating is actually quite impressive. Like pulls out all the stops. [Reply]
Good. Rest Kev. We're not going far in March unless a somewhat competent 6th man steps up (or we'll lose in a second game of a weekend against a team rolling out Arky's foulsketball strategy from last year).
Just focus on getting our 5 guys healthy for March and pray a 6th person steps up before then. [Reply]
Self has been all but saying that they weren’t gonna win conference for a week or so now. Not a surprise they are sitting McCullar again, especially with Tech on the road also coming on Monday.
Load management has come to the NCAA (which makes a ton of sense for a team like ours). [Reply]

I wish McDowell would get more minutes. Seems like he's competent out there. At least moreso than Timberlake. Seems like he's got enough athleticism and can avoid the mistakes to give some bench minutes, but there must be something I'm missing. [Reply]
