That's exactly right 77. Can't say Eaves doesn't have basketball knowledge and that is definitely not what I was trying to get across. I've been to his practices before. He knows basketball and I recognize that. Oldeschool just goes to that argument when he's cornered. I don't know the exact stats, but hasn't all of Eaves' team shot a lot of 3's and run up and down the court?? That was my primary reason for constantly saying that his style was not a winning one!!!!! It's just that we've usually had better players like Wills that didn't have to shoot long range.

I agree with you bigboy. A lot of 3's have always been there. They just seem to increase more and more each year. This is just an example, so you "exact number" freaks dont bomb me, but lets say we took 20 in year 1. that number has risen by 2-3 each year and now its at a ridiculous amount.
The funny thing is, it's only a ridiculous number when we lose. As someone stated in another thread. We are 5-0 when we dont shoot so many. We'd probably have a better record if we shot all mid-range buckets and layups, LOL.
My high school coach used to let teams like A&T jack up 3's cause he knew it would kill them in the end. Yeah, sometimes we got burned and they stay hot(like A&T does sometimes), "but unless they have a serious stroker then they will run out of steam 85% of the time and have a stagnant offense. I'll take those odds all day" is what he used to say. Just close out and get a hand up until he starts missing.

that's because you left out the word "lacks" depth of knowledge which is how it was phrased... OK, I would consider "lack of knowledge" and " lacks depth of knowledge" two different things. See, I don't think the point was “lacks knowledge”, mainly because that’s not what was typed, but also because to me that implies zero. I take "lacks depth of knowledge" to mean that the current level of knowledge is not broad enough (hence the usage depth) or doesn’t encompass enough experience to successfully navigate a given environment. Just like when I was going to chess class; I had knowledge of the game, but it wasn’t as broad or as comprehensive as the instructor and that was proven at each session. whatever you say, professor 77. that's a darn good definition of "depth of knowledge". now tell me, how in the hail does a basketball coach "navigate an environment"? please explain that professor 77? 'cause i didn't know it was a coach's job to "navigate environments"... i105.photobucket.com/albums/m201/wearingsa/MEACFansZone/smh.gif [/img]

and by the way, monster, no one ever said eaves didn't shoot a lot of 3's in the past. the accusation is that he is now shooting an excessive number of 3's. though he shot a lot of 3's in the past, he was not shooting them "excessively". shooting a lot of 3's and shooting "excessive" 3's are two different things.
some folks are just trying to claim that eaves hasn't changed so they can accuse me of changing my position only because he's losing games. well, that's absolutely not so.
right here on this very website, i stated during the preseason that i didn't agree with eaves' 3 point shooting philosophy that he spoke of in his preseason video. but i stated at that time that i would give eaves the benefit of the doubt until he proves me wrong, and he never did.
and let the record also show that i indicated at that time that the only thing about eaves that i agreed with bigboy about was that i was against eaves announced philosophy on shooting 3's. so folks need to stop painting a false picture just to justify their argument...

But here's a hint: navigate = successfully find a path, environment = in any (basketball) situation. If you put it two together you have; successfully find a path in any (basketball) situation.

ole school you tend read stuff that gets you riled up into what people write. I was just stating some facts. The term "oleschool said" was never in my post.
Funny thing is that my statement was exactly what you just repeated. Eave shot alot of 3's and now they have gotten excessive. So what's your point? Your just disagreeing to agree, LOL.

[/quote] good try, 77. but you know as well as i do that that's the biggest bunch of bull this side of earth! don't nobody go around talkin' bout no "navigation of environments" in basketball! what basketball professional do you know to ever use that term? (crickets) you made that crap up and you know it! that's just a bunch of bull. and it speaks volumes that you'd even attempt to explain your way out of it! try doing a search for the term "navigation of environments" on any basketball related website, book, publication, or newspaper and it'll come back "not found". "making up stuff" to justify a position is a sign of a weak argument that only works on folk who don't know any better. maybe they'll fall for it. but it won't work on me, 'cause i know better. "navigation of environments"? yeah, right...

I always have. He honestly believes in what he's saying. Even when sufficient and valid evidence is provided to him. It's quite entertaining.
