Aggie2 hit it right on the nail.. Moton was more involved in the game and you could tell he wanted to do everything in his power to wield his team to Victory. It was a good game overall and the atmosphere was crazy!!!
Side note: Coach Eaves dumba** may have cost us the game with the Technical fouls he picked up.. or wait maybe it was the Austin Witter tech?? But either way those techs hurt us smh

I believe Eaves tech was called when one of his players drove into the lane for a basket and there was obvoius contact (foul) by a player from Central. Our player fell to ground but no foul was called. Our player missed the basket and Central got the rebound. I was watching the game on the computer and this is what the two announcers said. Eaves must have commented to one of the refs and a tech was called.

The two techs and the 2 tech shots we missed lost the gamme. 6 points not to mention Central got the ball as well.

To me Eaves technical foul did not cost us the game. We still had about 10 min. left in the game
when he got hit with his "T". He needed to get that tech because that tall a$$ ref was killing us
with bad calls all night. I believe he went to Central in the past the way he was calling the game.
Even the tech that Whitter received did not cause that much damage because they got a tech
also. We failed to convert our two free throws and they converted theirs.
We lost this game on poor free throw shooting, missing wide open easy lay ups and poor
rebounding. The "T"'s happened but did not cause us to lose the game.

We will continue to see what we have been seeing year after year as long as "Mr. les than .500 in MEAC" is te coach at Ayantee. Can you all remember Eaves being quoted as saying "we are hard to scout and game plan for because all of our players have interchangable skills". Well guess what "Mr. less than .500 in MEAC"? It looks like by your record in the MEAC they have figured you and the team figured out pretty dayum well!!!! I luvs me sum Jerry Eaves! Way to step and represent, man! |

got to call a spade a spade. i'm in favor of hiring a new coach, but it wasn't eaves' fault that we loss that game. central just simply outplayed us down the stretch. they made their shots, we didn't.
i hate the outcome of the game, really spoiled my saturday evening. but ya can't blame eaves for this loss. however, i do think his tech and witter's tech was very costly. nic simpson missing his two technical foul shots was very costly too.
the only good news that i can think of is that sutton will only wear an eagle uniform just this one year. won't have worry about him next year. hopefully, we'll see central again in the tournament...

I understand what you are saying but it is the coaches job to take care of the following that takes place in a game: 1.) WIN 2.) Recruit so he can win 3.) WIN If Eaves was winning 65% or better of his MEAC games I wouldn't think twice about it because nobody can win them all. However, if you are a career .500 in MEAC coach and in your current season your sitting at .461 in MEAC the buck HAS to stop at the top. His substitution patterns are absolutely horrible and it's his fault that he did not recruit the pieces that he needs to win. It's really that simple. He needs to be held accountable! |

OSA, Eaves lost his composure right at the time when it required him to be a soldier in the trenches. I really thought that was extremely poor leadership on his part. One of our top players got a tech shortly afterwards. CENTRAL GOT THE LEAD FROM THE EAVES TECH AND NEVER GAVE IT BACK UP. In fact, the Eagles pushed the lead up to 9 points shortly after those tech's happened. Those tech's were HUGE!!! If you're saying Eaves didn't coach poorly, I'll agree with that. I don't think the team played poorly either. The effort was there from everybody......but the truth stares everyone in the face.... Under Eaves - AGGIE BASKETBALL IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH |

Eaves is not a career .500 in the MEAC. His overall record in MEAC games is 64-90 to date for a percentage of .416. Of course most of us would give him a pass for the first couple of years. |

I believe the techs cost us the game.. After that the whole ball game changed in favor of the Eagles.. Central had more momentum and Dominique Sutton started to play with swag the rest of the game. We had nobody that could match up with him

Naborhood - If you know anything about basketball - you know the tech that Eaves got did
not cause us to lose this game. That tech only put them up by 1 point with over 10 min. left
in the game. I could see your point if there was only 1 or 2 minutes left in the game. That ball
headed tall official was making too many bad calls against us. Coach Eaves or any other head
coach would have taken a tech to defend his team in that situation.
I am not an Eaves supporter but that was not why they lost and you know it, if you really know
something about basketball. Coaches take techs all of the time to spark their team, defend
their team or to make a statement as to how bad an official is calling the game. That guy was
super bad and Eaves had to let him know it.
Now, the tech that Whitter received may have been costly. However, they got a tech right after
that and we still had our chances. They made their free throws and we did not. We missed easy
lay ups and they did not. We rebounded poorly and they did not.
You have to be objective "naborhoodsuperstar". I know you despise Coach Eaves by your post
but his tech DID NOT lose the game. His players lost the game because they did not play hard
down the stretch and convert critical shots.

Large crowd, lots of excitement, and filled with drama. Officials probably had not had a game quite like that one, however, they lived up to their standard of not being very good. The technicals (Eaves, Witter & Hill's Flagrant) played a big roll in A&T's demise. But one of the things that bothered me was the freedom of nccu to score through the same old pressure (weak) defense that is used by A&T. Easy three pointers (uncontested resulting from weak press), driving the length of the court for lay ups, or passing the ball over the top to people (weak press) under the basket for easy baskets. Point guards driving and turning the ball over or missed shots under the basket. Someone stated that they are "glad to see Sutton (should have had technicals for his behavior) leave". Well, why don't we have one or two Suttons? Or even players more talented than Sutton and other talented players in the conference. After the season is over, that should be something that the Athletics Director discuss with Eaves. We know that he won't be required to schedule money games (it will be his decision), if he does not desire to do so. So his evaluation (provided he is rehired) will rest on his productivity. Therefore, his assessment of quality players will be critical to his tenure at A&T. If he stays, his son will have to be (like most major colleges require of their coaches) a part of that deal. Major colleges require their coaches to recruit the "best players" and that includes their son/daughter. Their bottom line is to win. So, work hard on next years recruiting Mr. Eaves. Of course, all of this is based on the assumption (most likely) that he will be coaching at A&T next year. I have no ax to grind either way. I expressed my sentiments four and five years ago. Obviously no one paid any attention to my sentiments. I will continue to support the players and the school, whether it is Eaves or someone else.
GO AGGIES!!!
