I went out of my way to ask him to clear it up first. He stood by it. Then again and again. Not going to get to Point 2 if the person is too stubborn to move off of Point 1 when they know they're wrong. That's not how productive conversations work. He could easily end it and we'd move forward. But no.

We had a unique situation last night with 2 bigs out and Cane being injured. You can't sit guys on the bench wondering if or when this will happen again. Plug and play as required.
That's is what COACH does. He uses Cane when and where he feels he needs him.

A win is a win and I'm just glad the foul didn't cause us to go into OT. Temple will not make the tourney. The broadcasters last night mentioned possibility of 6 teams from AAC making NCAA's...they must be high.

Wichita, UC, SMU and Houston. Maybe UCF if they can get some wins versus prior mentioned four teams.
Agree

I hope we found our new clutch player because we will have some more games that come down to the wire.

Cronin's livelihood revolves around evaluating players and using them when he sees fit. I'm going to pull one from Waite's book and assume he's more qualified to make the call on Scott than the guy who doesn't even think he'd ride the bench at Mississippi Valley. Have a nice day. You aren't worth my time.
huh? where am i wrong? I litterally went and checked his minutes and posted the findings...

http://www.espn.com/mens-college-bas...4620/tre-scott

double digit minutes

Savannah
western carolina
coppin
not buffalo because they were decent
richmond
wyoming
alabama state

xavier--lost
florida--lost

not miss state
not UCLA

ark pinebluff
cleveland st
memphis
not temple

So like I said...He got double digit against bad teams....and our only 2 losses. After our losses we went and played 2 more decent teams...which he didnt get double digits in. Then we played 3 cupcakes which he got double digits...then temple where he didnt

I will say this. There is a rule on the forum about making insulting remarks about our student athletes (or coaches). If you can't be somewhat respectful in how you address them...you probably just need to not say it.

Saying a player "sucks" or worse is not really respectful. These kids and coaches give their heart and soul to our program. Find a better way to address your concerns or you could be subject to warnings or bans.

It's not that hard to say someone should not get minutes without making insulting remarks about them. Off soapbox.

productive conversations work by moving past the least important words of the entire argument. but i wouldnt expect anything else from you. ive gotten in multiple arguments with you and they are all the same.

Important part of conversation...Scott is terrible

oh well..ban me...please. He ******* sucks. Noone had a problem saying it about quad the last 3 years. Or kelvin gaines before that. When a player sucks, it gets brought up.

I don't know Waite. Maybe my concern is with coach on this one. It took a medical issue with Cronin and Larry Davis more than half a year to figure out Cobb gave us a better team than KJ one year. Many of us saw Caupain over Guyn, Evans over Thomas, and Cumberland over KJ...before it finally happened. I think many of us see the same thing with Cane.

Sometimes coach is stubborn to a fault and I think he has admitted to as much. Continuing to be stubborn may not be the best solution.
