There were several times I wantes to jump up and scream/cheer/yell yesterday but everyone around me is glued to their seats.. One couple are both recovering from heart attacks so every time I thought about standing I did not because I knew they could not see if I did I would suggest a fan board cheering section where we could all just stand and yell as much as we wanted (it's not like we can't just carve out a section somewhere whether we have those seat tickets or not), but frankly I'm feeling right now like it would be a lot of energy expended with very little return. Not sure I've got it in me. Found it!

He mentioned that starting 5 and the veterans were a better defensive unit but the younger guys gave them much more firepower offensively. Who ? Bumbalough putting up 4 or 5 threes a game. Did he really f--kin say that ?

. He said they shoot 85% in practice so the rule is you subtract 11-15 percent for games so they should be shooting 70-75% He said its mental and he will have to talk them through it. No you need to make your practices both mentally and physically as strenuous as games. Good f--kin God........

I wonder just how he’s gonna “talk them through it.” Is he going to stand at the FT line and gently counsel them through the process of shooting a free throw and give them Scooby snacks when they hit one? Maybe provide some therapy because it’s so overwhelming?

I have no problem with that if he is taking good shots, in the flow, with team mates expecting it so they can hit the boards. He is one of our best shooters.
Kroft is more a triple threat guy who can go to the basket, which is more the reason he should get some PT. Coleman should be playing but looking more to pass than either of them. Thomas needs to play more like Walton, except he should be better if he left wide open. Ideally you would have at least 3 vets on the floor if any of them are in the game. Bumbalough is the only guy I would want with a total green light. But I expect he will always be guarded fairly closely.

As of right now Kroft has been no threat if he could just become a single threat that would be great

He may have the benefit of seeing them in practice.
I would not over analyze their performance now. Freshmen rarely make much impact in the first part of the first season.
And the first unit has been doing fairly well despite playing with a new approach this year. Lot so moving parts to fit together early in the season.

Thomas didn't even find the floor last game.

I was thinking today about my comments regarding Teague and similar comments last year regarding Moses and how a friend or family member (I can't remember which) came to Trey's defense and, as I recall, basically said Trey was playing how the coach wanted him to play. I think this remains the overriding factor in all player evaluations, that we're basically stuck with kids who are being poorly coached, whether it's Teague or Walton or Bumbalough or El-Amin. I think somebody posted something about running across the NKU AD, who was pissed about the team's start this year. I think I saw Goetz on the Worthen concourse after the game. She was picking up trash from the floor, and didn't look happy but I couldn't tell whether that was because she was doing janitorial work or because of the way we had played. Check your PM's
