And he's on it despite shooting worse than 80%.<br /><br />Plus, on this team, if you could shoot the basketball from beyond 8 feet with any sort of consistency there is a strong likelihood that Major will replace you in the lineup with a taller player. Major would rather have a taller guy who can't hit an open look under any circumstance attempt a three pointer than to have a shorter player who is automatic from long range attempt the same shot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-71754984640343732712013-03-04T12:21:40.327-05:002013-03-04T12:21:40.327-05:00Major has very young squad.

I would like to see a UNCC team do a little more on FT line. Seems school recruits players who CAN'T shoot free throws as a positive attribute. If I were a coach, I would require somewhere around 80% from the line or your ass would be benched.

That would be a great package deal. Get rid of both. <br /><br />I still will never, ever understand how you replace Lutz - whether he had to go or not is up to debate - with someone who had never been a coach and then allow him to hire a staff who had no head coaching experience. <br /><br />Just dumb. No vision. How does Phil allow that to happen? Same vision. Enough is enough.

I have no doubt Judy is happy. I have had season tickets every year since Halton opened. I've had enough. I'm tired of seeing our best players chased away or dismissed from the team EVERY YEAR and then having those dismissals used as an excuse for poor performance; or having their confidence shattered by Major's mind games that they lose their ability to play effectively. I'm tired of seeing Major sit there doing nothing every time we receive a terrible call. I'm tired of watching what is billed as a great defensive team leave opposing shoters wide open every time down the court. I'm tired of watching total confusion on offense. <br /><br />To make matters worse, it looks like we will be no better next year. At least make the NIT this year or next season will be my first to not have season tix to games in Halton.

Also getting rid of a proven small senior scoring guard in Briscoe but recruiting another small guard Ingram that you aren't sure about. The explosive shooting guard rarely gets in the game and still haven't erupted. The same ring around the Rosie interviews with major. Everyone clueless as to what he is saying. I think if a player is in rhythm at the end of first half don't you wanna stay with those players but not. Major goes back to script and the story ends the same as usual. No offense again cause that hot player is cold again and probably pissed. Its just amazing to see his techniques. misunderstoodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-70687789218250378392013-02-28T12:53:03.217-05:002013-02-28T12:53:03.217-05:00Let's go 49ers, if you finish strong you may g...Let's go 49ers, if you finish strong you may get an NIT road game at Charleston Southern!

Take a deep breath, every game is a new opportunity...all you whiners will feel better when they enter the A-10 at 21-9 (9-7)...at least they will get an NIT bid. They are not an NCAA caliber team anyway. They have too many average players and very little leadership. Those crying for Lutz should be crying for Sean Colson and Diego Guevara!
