Whereas I have grown to like Eaves' game more than before, I still want see if he is training the kids in some fundamentals. Last year, we could toss the ball in against Missouri's & Tennessee's pressure. 'Running and Gunning' is great but we still need at least six plays for getting the ball in (e.g. under your basket, under the opposing team's basket and along the sidelines). I want to see the kids well trained in how to handle pressure against a toss-in. Also, I'll be looking for a structured half-court game to handle those opponents who run a slowdown game against us.
Having said all that, I still think A&T will win the regular season MEAC championship.

Oldeschool, First off man, you should NEVER let anyone that means nothing to you.....get you that angry. It shows a huge sign of immaturity. Now, to your last post....... I said that I haven't said anything negative about THIS YEAR'S TEAM!!! Stop seeing what you want to see. And I'm not a bball professional....neither is anyone else up here. I don't claim to know all things. And if most people were as honest as I am, they would admit that they too had no idea what the NABC is and they still don't. That's not common knowledge. I don't know Eaves. I don't hate him. If he was broken down on Wendover, I'd pick him up (now Hunter is a different story, lol). But I don't like his basketball style. I don't think it's a championship style and I express that. Sorry that you don't like it. Nobody is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to read my posts. You can ignore them like I do Truthseeker's. I think you and Aggiejazz have some of the most blind support I've ever seen and I disagree with almost everything you put up here, but it doesn't anger me. It doesn't put me in attack mode. You have a problem looking at the honest truth and you just can't stand the fact that I'm right more than not! You may just have to first.....grow up.....and next...face it. no, your posts are immature. spewing out criticism of eaves for no other reason than just to criticize is immature. otherwise, you wouldn't have questioned the legitimacy of his coach of the year award. i mean, its immature to criticize something you know absolutely nothing about! now that's immaturity! and what does that say about your credibility? if you can criticize the nabc when you know absolutely nothing about it, that explains why you criticize eaves even though you know little about basketball. granted, everybody doesn't necessarily know what the nabc is. but everybody isn't also dumb enough to criticize something (the nabc) that they know absolutely nothing about it either! you're "the only one" on this site to degrade eaves' coach of the year award (what a surprise!) as if it came from a mom and pop store. why? what did he do to you? did he steal your girlfriend or somethin'? naw, dude. its you that's immature! you flat out criticize the team (its nothing different about it, you say) and then turnaround and swear you didn't. naw, that's immaturity. its all in writing, yet you still deny it. i really and seriously think you have mental issues. why else would you continuously embarrass yourself? maybe you were abused as a child or suffer from low self-esteem. whatever it is, its a mental problem and you need to seek counseling, immediately...

I don't think I'll know until about mid January if we're good enough to win it. I have no idea what the rest of the league is doing.

This thread has been a good read but why would aahhbigboy drag me into this I have been a lot more accurate than "Aahhumbug" about Coach Eaves' team. I stated accurately that last year's team will finish in the top 5 and maybe have a chance to finish as high as 3rd place. The Aggies acutually tied for 3rd and got the 4th seed I believe. Not once have I said an Eaves' team will win the conference regular season or the tournament but "Aahhumbug" predicted they would finished next-to-last place or near the bottom last year. "Aahhumbug" has used negative hyperbole to denigrate Eaves' coaching ability. I choose to see things as they are and there have been some good things in the program that should make an Aggie feel good and yet still realize there is a lot more to do..... well, most Aggies anyway.

Wasn't dragging you into anything Jazz. I just stated that I disagree with you a lot but it doesn't anger me. I wasn't questioning the validity of anything you've had to say. I actually like looking at your perspective of things, whether I agree or not. I don't think you post bogus stuff and for that matter, I don't think oldeschool does either. I just think our fan base is far more patient than most schools and I wonder why. Most people seem to like Eaves personally and are really not looking at the basketball side of things. As far as Eaves' coaching, I disagree more with his philosophy more than anything. Other than a couple of unprofessional, untimely technicals, I can't even say I saw a technical coaching move that I disagree with!

aahhbigboy, maybe we should just ignore you like you say you do truthseeeker ! It wouldn't bother me if you guys did or didn't to be honest frisco. But the fact of the matter is that I'm the only pessimistic voice on this bball board. I say a lot and sometimes I'm wrong.....but for the most part, I'm right. I've said that our style of play is very exciting, but it has never proven to win the MEAC. Guess what? In 7-8 seasons, we techically, haven't had a top 3 finish (even though if you want to argue, I'll give you last year. Just keep in mind that we were seeded 4th). And to piggyback that, we haven't won more than 1 game in the tourney in 7-8 years. So, I think that most of you just hate that I'm right. Now, I know it's gonna be some humble pie to eat when we finally do win something playing like this, but most of you will forget about these times! lol And for the record, when Eaves and company had that awesome February, I was the first one to come up here and admit that I really underestimated last year's team!!!!!! And that is why you really haven't heard me specifically mention ANYTHING about this year's team! I say what I feel and most of you hate it. So what. But when I'm wrong, I'm still here too. So Frisco, you can ignore my posts.....I don't care. You'll only be missing out on some of the most accurate insight up here. When it comes to the fun and gun bball we play, pessimism has been far better served than the optimism that most of you ooze. Just remember that.
