The changes are beginning to roll in. Thank you for your persistence here Durham! Yep: - I saw too many games where we missed handfuls of college-open jumpers, blown lay-ups and FTs that cost us close games.

Can we use these small victories to encourage folks to continue to join $18.91 Club?
Create a running list of the small accomplishments(like gym access) to athletics. I would rather see a list of 50 small things rather than waiting years for a big thing to happen.

with off hours access to the gym(s), i fully expect our outside shooting and free throw shooting to vastly "improve" for both teams. but "blown layups"? that's not a matter of lacking access to the gym(s), no college player needs "extra" hours to practice layups. even i can make an "uncontested" layup in my sleep.
so if we're blowing layups, that's more a matter of lacking "strength and concentration" rather than lack of practice. we're definitely not talkin' 'bout "uncontested" blown layups, i don't recall seeing too many of those. matter fact, i don't recall our players missing a "bunch" of layups, period. but the few we did miss were "contested" and that's where better "strength and concentration" comes into play, especially for our post players...

Hopefully we find out pretty early how big a difference maker Dunc Powell really is. Yes, we can be a cleaner offensive set team. Coach Jones has to grow there. I expect that he will. But like you, I saw too many games where we missed handfuls of college-open jumpers, blown lay-ups and FTs that cost us close games. That's not coaching at fault when you get the shots you want and you're consistently missing them. We are going to have 20/7 gym access for players beginning this summer. That should help MBB/WBB significant with keeping their scoring skills sharper throughout the year. And we might find that our "coaching" looks better as a indirect result. The changes are beginning to roll in. Thank you for your persistence here Durham! ?

That’s a lot of pressure.

Not the one I was talking about, but I'll take it and adjust my statement along with the link to the one I was was talking about! At least 2 songs were written about it. youtu.be/E604eZ81_YQ
