ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- Charlotte coach Bobby Lutz was not going to let the opportunity pass.
His senior guard, who had won so many games for the 49ers this season, had done it again, hitting three consecutive 3-pointers in a two-minute span late in the game to help Charlotte earn a come-from-behind win against Rhode Island in the first round of the Atlantic 10 tournament.
And Lutz was being asked about Goldwire’s desire and effort to extend his senior season.
"This league is so good and there are so many good players and it has to be for this guy (Goldwire) to be a third-team all-league player," Lutz said. "I’m not going to lie to you, he’s better than that.
"There are other good players in this league, but he’s better than third-team all-league and he showed it today, just like he has shown it his whole career. Nothing against those other guys, but you look and we tied fourth in the league and this guy has seen every kind of defense in the world and he showed you down the stretch what he’s made of.
"I couldn’t be happier for him."

Thanks for writing this. Leemire was -- in a rad word -- "hosed" by the coaches. He has to at least be 2nd team just on basis of keeping a young team focused as the only returnee of any merit.
