I can’t stand it when someone just stands there and watches a close strike three. You have to be in protection mode with two strikes. Furthermore very high percentage chance it was a fastball coming swing the bat osuna smh

Thoughts?

Wagner shooting 60%, beating Howard (28%) fairly good. And Wagner has yet to shoot a FT. Howard was down by 17; 13 currently, trying to take momentum

In typical all about me fashion we have to endure this piece of craps ego in the spotlight once again. Anyone else that had the kind of seasons he's had the last five years would hardly get a headline.
Here's the icing on the cake .
First after a heck of a year in college hoops two of the best teams all year face off for a championship that was very much anticipated by us all . What do we get to listen to ? What takes a piece of the shine off of the biggest game ? None other than CalShady himself.
On top of that we witnessed greatness in ladies hoops in the form of the best ladies ( team ) since the Connecticut days of a few years back and in that game on the other team the single best girls basketball player in NCAA history in Catlin Clark . What takes a piece of the shine off of that game ? You guessed it .
All they had to do was keep it under wraps for a couple more days . Is that too much to ask ? You be the judge , I have my answer. 😎🥁✌️

I'm suddenly pessimistic about getting RJ back

Most of the attention for now might be on who stays and who goes, and what we need in the portal.

Fair enough, but also very important is what our returning players need to do to be what we need them to be next season.

Some of these are obvious. Elliot and Seth need to become better shooters and, in particular, become confident in their outside shooting. What else?

Withers

He's really quick. Sometimes too quick. He needs to work on securing the ball - whether passes, rebounds or in scrambles. Especially before dribbling, but also sometimes before shooting. I can't tell if he has bad hands or just sometimes gets ahead of himself. Either way, surely there are drills for that. I still think he can be a star, but not if he can't get this under control.

Cadeau

Work on alley-oops. I bitched a month or 2 ago that with a great passer like EC, several decent jumpers like Withers, Ingram, Seth and even Okonkwo, not to mention tall guys like Armando and Washington, we should be seeing lots of alley-oops. Once I bitched about it, I started paying attention. Turns out that being a really good regular passer doesn't automatically mean you're a good alley-oop passer. I have no idea why. Will practice make perfect?

Washington

Strength, stamina, and reaction time. Brice Johnson's offensive moves were as quick as they come - maybe second only to Antawn Jamison. But on defense he was no better than average. Not bitching at him, just pointing out that there are different kinds of reaction time. Washington isn't in Brice's league on offensive quickness, but he's pretty quick and very accurate - so we need him on the floor. But his reaction time to other guys' moves or passes leaves a lot to be desired. Is there a drill for that?

That should be enough to get the conversation going.
