IUwins0708 Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 I don’t know the answer but I’d think Archie would have as free of a reign as anyone beings how Fred is the one that hired him. Maybe I’m wrong. ADs are always tied to the lead sport of the school they work for. If I was Fred I wouldn’t be micromanaging anything at this point but then again it is Fred.

It’s usually pretty good banter between all of them. Honestly it’s more fun to listen to when they lose, but I’d rather them not lose anymore!

A quick google got me this 1,690 career points and 1,172 career rebounds set Lawrence Central school records, in addition to career records for steals and blocked shots... averaged over 24 points and 12 rebounds per game as junior and senior for two-time sectional champs and two-time Marion County champs Man, I wish I could have put up numbers like that.

I personally think it can be taught, granted teaching it isn’t as easy as when it comes naturally but that can be said about anything. I think kids can get better at it, yes. To have that will to win and NEVER take a play off is something within. There is just those things in sports Great baseball player, raw power, speed - can't hit, but the kid you wouldnt pickout can. McDonalds All Americans that never make it, but the 200th rank kid that does. Typing from my phone...sorry about the incomplete thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol That's why I was asking. I don't have connections and the one's I do know don't say much....but I do know how to put puzzles together. Lots of pieces the last 2-3 years of Crean and first 2 of Archie are leading me to Fred and our Administration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosier_exotics Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 I agree and disagree all of them but in the end you can change whatever you want, and these guys still wont hit a shot. Risley lost me on " one of the most talented teams weve had in years" hell no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchieBall13 Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Good listen. I got a little confused at the end when the podcast basically assigned blame to everyone outside of the coaching staff/players. I guess the only thing logically I can think of the administration as a hindrance would be if Glass did in fact say you gotta keep certain players despite Archie wanting to do differently...and for a meaningful impact hat would mean multiple players. Outside of that, who exactly is tying Archie and the team's hand in winning basketball games? I mean, maybe the Administration is that dumb, but if my job is on the line and I am directly impeding that person from full potential that seems like one of the dumbest ideas I've heard.

Add the rumored locker room disfunction and you have a recipe for disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how we are measuring talent.. from a shooting standpoint, we are probably the least talented i can even remember. And I am probably very negative towards them, due to that fact... we do have some talent i guess... i would just about do anything for consistent shooting and win the opening tip.

Poor-shooting team for certain, but who would have expected Romeo to shoot 26.8% from distance? Or Zack McRoberts to be at 20%? Damezi Anderson was supposed to be a floor stretcher, but is shooting at 26.9%, a far cry from the 37% he averaged in high school. I think in several cases, players have shot worse than you would expect given their resumes. No idea why this seems to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Just to be fair. Admittedly, Romeo has had his struggles from beyond the arc this year. However, he is now 11 for his last 26 from beyond the arc. That's a cool 42%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most kids won't take coaching like they used to. It's hard to push kids like we used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
