I think we should suspend judgement of the new coach/team until we have enough players back to see just what kind of offensive and defensive sets we will employ at full strength. You mentioned having 2 walkons on the floor, but I might also add that we often had Sirin playing Center and Barnett at Power Forward, which is equally or more problematic; and that's no offense to Sirin or Barnett, Lutz recruited them as shooters, not post players, but with so few players available there wasn't much else to do. I look forward to seeing how this team develops over the course of the season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-26744075403414327922010-11-15T15:36:39.332-05:002010-11-15T15:36:39.332-05:00As a graduate of both Gardner-Webb and Charlotte a...As a graduate of both Gardner-Webb and Charlotte and a player on the 1970 freshman team, the lost hurts. But let's be honest, there are no more UCLAs of the 1960-70s and there is so much parity in all of college sports. Gardner-Webb has a rich basketball history and they caught us at a bad time just like Stetson caught Wake Forest at a bad time? Anybody remember the College of Charleston and UNC or should I say Winthrop and Notre Dame in the NCAAs? Hey, everybody could have thought the same things about us in '77 when we went to the Final Four!
