Calm down everyone. I thought Eaves coached a good game last night. The play he setup for Nelson to hit a big 3 to cut the lead to two was nice. If you look at it Jones missed a 3 ft shot to tie the game and Coleman missed three free throw at crunch time. Do you blame the coach for that?

The point is this game shouldn't have even gone down to the wire. DSU lost four starters from last season and we have seven seniors on our team. This is just a repeat of what happens almost everytime we play a decent team.

I got a feeling we will be playing Del State in the MEAC tournament in the first round(4-5) game

I don't know what the final figures are but at one time in the second half we were shooting 33% from the free throw line. If we hit a reasonable percentage at the line, we win the game. End of story. I agree champ! Good teams hit their free throws down the stretch. We played tough, but when you're shooting that bad from the free throw line it will always come back to bite you in the azz!

Who Fault is it, Eaves, the players, the University or bad luck. I am not a Eaves fan.

I will say this is a team loss. I blame the coaches and the players. The two worst negatives that happened last night were bad half court defense and bad free throw shooting. At times the team looked brillant on offense and defense. Coach Eaves made some very good substitutions down the stretch. But at times you shake your head and say why did he take that shot or why didn't he keep sight of his man.
Now, Eaves has to get his team in a good groove going into the tournament in three weeks.

I really can't blame the players. They are playing up to their potential. It's not their fault that they got offerred to play somewhere that's over their skill level. Each and every one of us would take the scholarship.
Eaves is at fault. When is the last time you questioned Coach K's coaching decisions? You probably never have because he knows what he is doing and his players respond.
Every year, coach Jack (Del St) has inferior talent and every year, the guy wins. He had a 90% winning percentage at Central before Del State. It was obvious last night, we were just out coached in every phase of the game. Del State started their offense out of 6 different sets and played more than 4 defenses last night. Eaves still doesn't know what hit him.
The point is this, whenever we play teams that have it together, we lose. That speaks to the coach. Period.

I guess these same arguments about Eaves can be made about Nickelberry, Bozeman, Jackson, NSU coach, and many others. I guess you are only as good as your last game!

Where did you pull that out?

Under Jackson’s leadership, NCCU did not have a losing season and posted an overall record of 163-77. He led the Eagles to five Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) division titles, and three trips to the NCAA playoffs. He also earned three CIAA Coach-of-the-Year awards. He is one of two coaches in the history of the NCCU men’s basketball program to compile 20 or more victories in four seasons, joining NBA Coaches Hall of Fame inductee John McLendon. www.dsuhornets.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=82748&SPID=5813&DB_OEM_ID=12900&ATCLID=838248&Q_SEASON=2007He had a 47% winning percentage at NCCU. Btw, I have questioned Coach K on a few times. But true Duke fans know Dawkins is a big part of the coaching staff. Eaves ain't coach K so why try and compare. We lost because of free throws ( which is the teams fault) and failure to adapt to changes in the game ( the coaches fault). I think the blame can be assumed by both

Well, I guess it can be literally stated that the Coach Jackson's winning percentage is 67%, not 90% not even 70-75%.

Are we the only team in the MEAC that CAN NOT make a free throw, and what the f*** is the coach doing with 30 seconds to go. You have to foul and give yourself a chance with some time left. If I am wrong, let me know. oliver purnell of clemson may be asking the same free throw question about his ball club... they had a 15pt lead at the dean dome with 3mins left to play & lost...
