Robinson as well. Post what you want, but that's good football in must have situation.

Seems like referees are sitting there seeing it not making the calls. Game changing. Blatant misses last nite and our game.

Beat Missouri 74-72.

What happened during the 2nd half of tonight’s game is in a word…pathetic. We deserve better!

Sincerely,
Dawg fans everywhere

How do you throw that flag in that game

I've been watching the NHL since early 70s and have never seen this before. A fan threw a plate of nachos ($13.75) on the ice during play.

Coach Barnes and the Vols share the same type of roster, O schemes and philosophy that we do that focus on the guards entering the lane. The Knoxville game taught us how to better run our same high post ball screen sets and how to adjust and expand them when an opponent effectively denied the screens and prevented our ballhandler's easy entry into the lane.

Tomorrow's Auburn game against a different O philosophy will be equally valuable in instructing us why we ought to adopt one of Auburn's primary sets, The Zoom. I mentioned the Zoom schemes last month as the O that carried UConn, Auburn and several other NCAA quarterfinalists to efficient high scoring and low turnovers. The sets are easy to teach to rosters with high transfer turnover. Zoom teaches athletic players a philosophy of playing and decision making rather than teaches specific plays and repetitive motion progressions.

Zoom is predicated on two primary actions: an off-ball pindown screen, followed by a dribble handoff to the player coming off the pindown. Zoom is designed to get a perimeter player moving downhill toward the basket while staggered screens behind him simultaneously stress a defense. Zoom actions often involve skilled centers who operate at the 3-point arc rather than ties them to the area near the lane. The actions creatively employ 3 men rather than two like the ball-screens involve and that math expands the options, creates gaps and creates more space for the ballhandler to use. There is much less standing around and watching done by weakside teammates and the ball flows across the court to set up new 3 player triangles on the weakside.

One benefit of the Zoom action is that it creates momentum and gets the ball moving and slashing towards the rim. It does not require elite ballhandling and passing as dribble hand-offs are employed rather than reliance on ball screens and short passing in crowded areas of the court. I'll follow up tomorrow morning with suggestions about what to look for and how it would benefit us to adopt some of what Auburn runs.

Hate to paraphrase what was on one of the talk shows, but it appropriately capsules what we face in trying to maintain superiority on the field. Kirby can bust his butt maintaining years long contact with recruits and getting them to the signing date, but then all they asks is "can you match what I'm offered by so and so". That and the fact that I believe that Kirby's development program is superior to most, but it can take some time to bring along some of the kids that don't flash immediately. Now players aren't willing to make that kind of commitment. They bust and run as soon as someone offers them a little more money. I don't know how a head coach can manage a roster under the current circumstances and I don't see any movememt towards a change.

because it means we have expectations. It's been a long time since we expected anything from basketball. This team has talent and plays physical- they just need to learn to win. A very important skill.

Why not go full block?

True Freshmen in the SEC have a total of 6 double-doubles so far this season


Asa Newell has 4 of them

Somto Cyril (who I still wish announcers called him Dreams Cyril - for fans of the band) - well, he also has 1 of them

and Arkansas' Boogie Fland has 1 - and it was announced a few days ago that he will miss the remainder of the season

To fire any coordinator or position coach until after this portal window closes tbh. Now that freshman that JUST SIGNED with their school and enrolled can enter the portal you are better off just waiting out the five days and then making the moves that way you have a few months to walk the recruits at that position through the succession plan and keep them in the fold. It doesn’t any good to lose those guys (even if you think the coach that recruited them is a bum and can’t spot talent)

(I may be alluding to one coach in particular here but I trust yall to read between the lines)

Do you remember?

We are 1st and Goal at the South Carolina 4. There is this generational talent in our backfield named Todd Gurley. We are down 35-38. We have 4 plays to get 12 feet. (David Andrews is our Center at the time by the way.)

If I told you 2 of the next 3 plays were pass plays with......HUTSON MASON, would you be curious as to what in the hell our OC was thinking?

I have never forgot that sequence of events. 4 plays, we lost 7 yards, missed the FG to tie it and lost. From that day forward, I have been done with Bobo.

Here we are, a decade later, where he has since been fired from 3 previous jobs (CSU, Scar, Auburn), and he is back here calling the most head scratching plays I can remember, since.....well......9/15/14.

I just can't for the life of me understand why we would want to hire him in the first place, but to keep him after the season he just turned in?

We cannot claim to be serious about winning another national championship if he is the OC.
