For some reason wouldn’t let me type after attaching those photos but that’s currently broken on my sink. The top threads intro the underside of the above sink faucet and the threading has rusted away.  So the above sink faucet is completely loose. 
 

Anybody know that’s it’s called so I can get a replacement?

“I just don’t trust myself as much anymore. I don’t know if it’s age, I’m just more nervous when I do gymnastics.

 

Old comment but saw it and thought I would chime in. My wife once told me that around 23-25 is when people really start to understand risks and mortality.  
 

So would make sense.  Gymnastics are super dangerous not a game of inches. A game of millimeters.

Not sure it will be the case that you’re only getting players with 1-2 years eligibility.  Now that they don’t have to sit out, there will be a ton of players like Adam Miller at Illinois who choose to leave after one year, for a variety of reasons .

If there are a lot of those types of incoming sophomores out there, I can see why you would want to recruit players like that over high school players.  The player still has three years left and has already been productive at the college level.  Players like that (along with other incoming juniors and seniors) will be really valuable.

Plus another great aspect of getting guys thru the transfer market. These guys will have burned their one time and theoretically will be less likely to transfer offering more roster stability

Understand… but frankly neither you, nor I know what CAM was up against when he tried to build his roster. 
 

It’s easy, no lazy, to simply infer that CAM was over his head in taking the IU job . Regardless of the consensus, he had to overcome injuries as well as a global pandemic. How many other “new “ coaches had to navigate the last 2 years in the fishbowl that is IU basketball? Name me one coach who was trying to rebuild a program at a basketball school under the circumstances CAM dealt with the last two years.

Don’t get me wrong. I am ecstatic with where we are going under HCMW. Just don’t understand the need to lower ourselves to the depths of the UK’s of the world just because we can 

Every coach deals with Injuries and every coach dealt with the pandemic.  Good coaches deal with the/it in an effective manner. Archie did not.

When you see players mouth off in the huddle during time outs . Players acting disinterested in huddles. Teams coming out of huddles an not playing hard you know the coach lost the team! 
To be honest none of Archie teams seem to respond to him. 

A direct reflection of a lack of accountability and playing time not being tied to performance. Archie thought he was the smartest guy in the room.  Being smart don’t mean crap if you can’t get people to share in your vision 

Some caveats to SLUs titles. 
 

A) Several were won with an 8 team field. The most matches they had to win for a title was 4 

B) They shared one of their titles. So I’m calling it 9.5 Titles. When we hit 10 we are in the lead. 
 

Also interesting note Virginia also shared one of their titles.  Virginia is the only team really close to us that is still relevant and competitive.

We have no excuse to lose. That being said the same can be said of Clemson

I did not grow up with soccer, sorry for poor question.

Why do the other teams have more shots than we? Also more shots on goal? This has been present in the last two games.

It was strategy today.  We decided to not take any chance and count on our elite defense to keep them from getting good shots and then count on a mistake allowing us to get some good shots on their less than stellar D.

Our GK is outstanding.  3 stops out of 4 in a PK shootout is really incredible.  

And the 1 he let in was just absolutely nasty. Totally ok for that to go in

So we'll be at home the first match, correct? 

No they basically did what they did with basketball and put all teams/games in the state of the FF.  
 

Shouldn’t really matter. We shouldn’t be tested until the EE

Is it ok to have a thread about him following his decommit from Texas? I know IU is in his list of schools that have contacted him.

Sounds like Dolson decided to go full basketball factory.   Considering all that goes on at Kansas, Duke, UNC, UK, Arizona, etc I'm fine with it.  The NCAA has made it very clear that they do not care.

I don’t care what we do for these kids off the court financially.  As long as while they are here academic integrity is upheld.

I simply posted that he was not personally a good shooter, and that his last team was not particularly good at shooting.  Certainly lots of variables, but the evidence available does not lend itself to the conclusion he is a shot doctor.  Do you have evidence that suggests otherwise?  I'd love to see it.  Nothing I'd like to see more than to have Rob start shooting the 3 at a 40% clip.  is there evidence that this guy can get him there?

Lol I get it your trolling. Bravo sir.

Literally no it doesn’t. Your data means nothing because you have nothing to compare it 

In addition his team at Oregon shot 39% from 3

Look, maybe the guy is terrific at relating to kids, fine, sell that.  Don't sell that he is a shot doctor when no one has provided any evidence as to such, and the evidence available suggests otherwise.

In his last year at Alabama, our esteemed shooting Yoda had his team shooting a a 46% clip from the floor, 32% from 3 and 67% from  the stripe.  Look, I don't care who CMW hires to be the 3rd assistant.  I will not lose a minute of sleep over it.  I just don't understand A) Why we take a risk when it isn't necessary to do so. and B) Why people are selling a bill of goods about the guy that has zero evidence to back it up.

Without data on how those kids shot without him how they shot with him can’t be used against him. Johnson got let go after all. Like Archie maybe his system was junk

So you don't have to be able to do calculus to teach calculus?  That would certainly explain some of my high school teachers.

Calculus and shooting are different.
