those are excuses man...coach just want these kids to be happy. Not trying to win... This is our 5th game coach should know who to play. I dont want to get blown out the gym by VCU...that will be the 7th game, so by the 7th game he shouldnt know his rotations? I agree he should but I also was not drinking the cool aid coach has been selling from day one. Iāve always been in wait and see mode. However back to your argument, with no offseason to see what personnel works best it will take time. TBH I rather him sort that out now than during conference play. The Citadel game really put a lot in perspective about this team. Coach likes to play full court defense to force turnovers and create fast break easy offense opportunities. But as soon as teams beak the defense then score, it forces us to play a half court game, and we struggle with no real offensive sets. We seem to be one dimensional in that aspect. It also explains why he doesnāt like to use traditional big men like Harry. It was evident today that we can lean on Harry for buckets down low in half court but thatās not his style of offense, which it needs to be. Coach needs to adapt. Hopefully he does so SOON! Harry is not your traditional big man . Harry is your typical European Big man that can rotate out and pop the 3 or stay low to mid range for the 2 if you regulate Harry to a Half Court style of play your misusing/ wasting his talent and skills.

I'll give you that, Harry may not be your "traditional" big, however the point is he is another scoring option in half court plays. We cannot always run and gun, you have to be able to run sets. Half court game does not mean he has to have his back towards the basket. Overall, coach just needs to recognize his talent for conference play.

I think he is deaf unfortunately. He has a way of playing and Harry doesn't fit. As I have said before square peg round hole.

Unfortunately I must agree but there is still time and the season is still young . As long as Harry does not give up and pack it in there hope for a turn a round God willing .

Did we just go 1 for 20 to start the game? You could have omitted that stat! Lol. Well, at least we're getting paid for this life lesson. Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward-Vernon Law

Just been watching Oscar Da Silva playing for Alba Berlin in the Euro League. He tore us to pieces and he tore Fenerbache to pieces with 22pts. He is playing grown up basketball against Real Madrid, Barcelona etc so goes to show we did play against a real class player.
