Wayward1 Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Position-less basketball sounds like a baked in excuse for excessive turnovers. I could talk about Crean's coaching for 10 hours, but I think I could wrap it up in 9. We know what worked, but what didn't work never seemed to get better. He swung for the fences and got great upsets, but would follow up with losses to low-level teams. He loved to be the underdog with a chip on his shoulder, but didn't know how to be the top dog once he started winning (fear of success!). For every great recruiting victory or diamond in the rough, he would bring in an equal number of not-B10 worthy kids. These traits never improved with him.

This is when someone needs to whack him in the head with a magazine and tell him "No!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right there it is. If the NCAA tournament is an expectation and not an accomplishment, Tom's out of his league. He's going to have the occasional bad year. But overall, he'll have more good than bad years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only? Seems like he was playing in the early 1940s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am with you there and I might be wrong but a friend of mine that is a big Georgia supporter told me it stands for Bulldog, not basketball player. No idea he said CTC is preaching team first particularly with a guy that seems to be one of the first few picks next year. IDK take it for what it is worth.
