I hope his mom is ok. But it's a horrible excuse. C'mon. If its bothering you this bad and effecting the team. He needs to quit playing then. Don't use your mom has an scapegoat.
Really, please look at the whole team instead of attaching Petteway every game!
I have. Pitchford spends about 2 mins a game "near" the paint, rest of the game he spends it somewhere between Lincoln and Omaha.
Webster looks like he only cares about doing good or winning, when he feels like it.
Our bigs couldn't jump over an ant for a rebound.
With all that being said, I blame TP for most of the issues. His shot selection at times is atroucious, which leads to turnivers and more stress on the D. if he makes two shots to start the game he will go Kobesque and start jacking shots. He can commit some of the dumbest fouls I've seen in a loooooong time. If not for miles benching him he could litterly foul out in the first half. Last year he played within his own game. This year I Ono what he's doing at times.
Last year, we surprised teams and Pitchford was playing better. He is now the main focus of every defense. I am sure it is frustrating watching Benny & Webster throw up bricks on wide open shots. I do not blame him, as we would be lucky to score 30 a game without him.
See and that is coaching!
3rd season in the conference...other coaches have your stuff figured out.
Yes, but he had to use players that were already here. Give him a chance to move in his recruits and I do not mean as Fresh & Soph. We are not Kentucky, so we are not going to get all 5 star recruits.
And we lost Gallegos while gaining Abraham, Smith, Hammond and everyone else with another year of coaching. I don't think it's unfair to question why we are so much worse. Not say we couldn't have taken a step backwards from last years run. But we're really barely competitive this year with more pieces.
