CAA Defensive POY three straight years. One year of eligibility.

Never. Officials don't want to call three seconds. I read an article from last year where Chris Holtmann said after a game against Purdue that the rule should just be eliminated because the officials won't call it. He said Purdue knows at the most, it would be called once a game, so they just keep running what they do. “Listen, I was on the officials the entire game. I really do think that needs to be evaluated whether or not you keep that rule in the rulebook. Because if it’s not gonna be enforced, why is it in fact in the rulebook?” Holtmann said. “And clearly, it’s not a rule that is enforced. He does a good job at times of dancing in and out, but more times than not, it’s clear. And listen, give them credit. They know it’s not going to get called. And if at the very most, it’s gonna get called once a game, at the very most. And most times it won’t.” Well, what they’re saying is, ‘Hey, they’re not gonna call it more than once at the most, so why wouldn’t we just park him there?’ It’s smart on their part. And what we’ve got to do is be able to adjust better, and that’s what we’re trying to do.”

Right, but it doesn't reset by making a move to the basket. For example, if a player is in the lane 2 seconds, catches a pass, dribbles toward the basket for 3 seconds (5 total) and puts up a shot, no violation. If he does the exact same, but instead of shooting, he passes to a cutter, it's a violation.

Actually it doesn't reset when the player has the ball. It only resets if he makes an attempt to score. If he sets up in the lane and receives a pass, holds the ball and doesn't make a move to the basket, it's a violation. An allowance is made to continue a count but suspend a violation ruling when, before 3 seconds, an offensive player starts to attempt to score (including dribbling to the basket). If the move is directly completed, no violation can occur. However, if the move is aborted (e.g. by a pass or fake), no exception applies.

Dug (Pat, I'd like to buy a vowel, please) had academic issues at MI. That's why he was on the travel suspension. Probably not the same issue at K State.

"Carlyle is a dynamic ball in hand player with terrific length for his size who can create scoring opportunities for himself on demand. He is simply wired to score from all three levels and never has seen a shot he does not like. His handle is as good and tight as anyone in the class and he can get by a defender with his speed and quickness. While he is primarily a scorer, he is terrific at making attacking plays off the dribble with his excellent handle and when the bucket opportunity does not present itself, he is more than willing to make the right find. What is better than his ability to score is his mindset. His mentality is elite as he is a tough and fierce competitor who is always in full attack mode. His constant aggression is what makes him positively productive. Defensively, he has the length and the foot speed to be elite and devastating on that side of the floor. A terrific two-way guard, Carlyle most certainly projects a reliable scorer who plays through most injuries and goes to war like each game is his last" Carlyle was unable to sustain the same shooting prowess from behind the three-point line that he showed in December, and ultimately saw his percentage dip down to 32% from that range. He was, however, an increasingly versatile scoring threat, if not always an efficient one, as he attempted 33% of his shots at the rim and 42% in the mid-range area per Pivot Analysis.

Carlyle shot 39% overall and 32% from three. Rice was 27% from three and was 0-22 in his last 6 games going into the NCAAT. Tony Perkins 43% overall and 30% from three. IU is in on a lot of non-shooters. Hickman would be the exception, so far at 40% from three. But they desperately need a PG and Perkins or Rice would be good options, but don't help the shooting problem.

It's interesting how these schools are downsizing their basketball arenas. Their current arena seats about 11k and this new arena would seat 8k. Baylor just built a new 7,500 seat arena to replace a 10,300 seat arena. Just as McLane Stadium’s downsizing compared to Floyd Casey Stadium has helped give Baylor football a better home-field advantage, the Foster Pavilion’s size — 7,000 seats — and design will help ensure the new facility is packed with Baylor fans night in and night out.

Probably not. I think Davis is a good student, but FAU doesn't rank very high academically. See the following example of Myles Hinton, OL who transferred from Stanford. Eventually, innocently, the question of his major arose. "Right now, general studies, because they had like, transfer — like the credits kind of messed up,” Hinton began. “I was in human biology at Stanford and then for some reason, they didn’t take a lot of the credits. Like, all my bio credits dropped." In high school, he was a member of the National Honor Society and Beta Club and in his first year in Palo Alto he was named the "Most Outstanding Freshman." It's the main reason he couldn't believe the classroom he found himself in during the summer session. "Yeah, it was crazy! I was like, ‘What in the world!” Hinton said. “I took an intro to writing class last semester, and I was like, ‘What’s going on? I took this class freshman year." It was crazy." Per U-M admissions, “up to 60 credits may be transferred from other colleges and universities to count toward the 120 required for a U-M degree.” https://sports.yahoo.com/michigan-football-ol-myles-hinton-192525094.html

They could rename the team the Bedford Stoners

23 points and 5 assists in McD game. Named co-MVP with Dylan Harper

Richard Mandeville?

Expected that. They’ll be good next year

Do you think it changes the game if he had 3 fouls called on him in a first half versus being 8 minutes into a second half with zero fouls?

Most of the frustration stems from the disparity in how the game is called with him. On one possession in the TN game, he hipchecked a TN defender at the top of the key, then discarded another to grab an offensive rebound. Two obvious fouls that weren’t called, then he got the rebound and went to the foul line.

You should be worried about Jayden Taylor. Kid from Indpls. Perry Meridian who didn't get an offer from Purdue. Went to Butler for two years then transferred to NC St. That's the kind of kid who'll have a career game.

Good distributor and defender, but not a good shooter. Led team in assists and steals. Was Pac 12 FOY. 27% 3 point shooter. In his last six games of the Pac12 and conference tourney he was 0-22. Just good to see him on the court, though. Missed all of the previous season with Hodgkin's lymphoma.

I think Hatfield's an easy one. After the NC St visit he canceled his IU visit and narrowed his choices to LVille (probably a courtesy), Pitt (was the #1 player in PA in 2021), UConn and NC St, both FF teams. It's amazing how NC ST's fortunes have changed in the past two weeks. Huntley-Hatfield was also scheduled to take an Official Visit to Indiana, but cancelled it after wrapping up his Official Visit in Raleigh.

I think the most important thing is that the court dimensions are accurate, unlike the Portland regional site for the women's tournament. How in the world do you play four games with no one noticing? https://www.sportskeeda.com/college-basketball/news-portland-3-point-line-controversy-update-ncaa-finds-discrepancy-marking-lines-drawn-9-inches-short

Steve Lutz at W KY, hired by OK St. Andy Enfield (USC) takes SMU job. I think he jumped ship while he could.

Bump for CMW discussions since he isn’t being fired

Whatever. I said IU was at a crossroads. At the time of the post, IU had no 2024 recruits and McNeely had opted out of his commitment. They didn't appear to be leading on any of their targeted 2025 recruits. There are some obvious parallels to the situations with Ewing and Woodson, but I clearly said that Woodson has been better through the first 3 years. Never said he would end the same, but there are some warning signs that things could get worse from here. But unfortunately, you have become one of the few posters who brings no pleasure to visiting this board. You don't allow posters to have a reasoned opinion without taking it personally. You don't have to agree, but everyone here is entitled to their opinion as long as they stay within the rules. You paint with a broad brush and group anyone together who doesn't 100% agree with you. Unfortunately, you will become only the third member I've ever had to place on ignore.

You are taking that completely out of context of what I said. This is my post: There are parallels to Ewing at Georgetown. Although Woodson has been better through years 1-3, most people don't realize that the bottom didn't fall out until years 5 and 6. They were 15-17 in year three, which IU came precariously close to matching (were 14-13 and were underdogs in all four remaining games). Year 4, Georgetown was 13-13, but went on a run to win the Big East tournament. People were thinking they turned a corner. Ewing was 3 games over .500. Then they went 13-50 over the final two years of his six years there. The rest of that post was an article that addressed how Ewing left a good job as an NBA assistant to try to resurrect his alma mater. It mentioned that he didn't like recruiting, how their style of play didn't fit the modern game of basketball and how Ewing's answer was they just needed to work harder. My point was there were some parallels and that IU was at a crossroads entering year 4 of CMW. I don't know what 103-63 is. CMW is 63-40.

I don't know who you're talking to. I have maintained all along that CMW would be coach next year. I didn't agree with the hire, but I always want them to win. I always support the team, but that doesn't mean I may not be critical of how they play. My saying that it would be unprecedented (not impossible, just unprecedented) for a 66 year old coach, with 3 years of college experience, to win a national title is a statement of fact based on actual precedence. It has nothing to do with who that coach happens to be. It's funny. People think of Bill Guthridge as being old, but when he took Smith's team to the FF in 1998, he was only 60. He retired when he was 62. Of course, he'd been the assistant there for 30 years. For Painter to take 19 years to make a final four and Gene Keady to never make one shows how difficult it is. IU fans were spoiled by CBK. Some also get spoiled by the one year wonders that get hot at the right time.

He was 72. It was his twelfth year at Miami to get to his first FF. They made his first Elite 8 at Miami in year 11. Does anyone believe Mike Woodson will be coaching when he's 75? I don't think he does. “I don’t know, there are coaches that are coaching into their 70s. I don’t know if that’s something I’ll do, I don’t know. But at this point, I’ll take it a day at a time, a year at a time. I’m not going anywhere anytime soon guys. I’m just not. So I’m going to continue to build this team and try to put this team in the best position possible and see where it leads us.” Marshall coach Dan D’Antoni currently carries the distinction of the oldest Division I men’s college basketball coach in the country at 76 following the recent retirement of Coastal Carolina coach Cliff Ellis, who is 78. There are only four other active D-I coaches over the age of 70: Florida State’s Leonard Hamilton, La Salle’s Fran Dunphy, Miami’s Jim Larrañaga and Rick Pitino of St. John’s. There are 362 D1 coaches. Only 20 are over 65.
