This time off hopefully gets him back to 100% To me we need someone bigger than him that also can take the ball to basket and finished. I think it would be best if one of our wings players were like a 6'6 small forward instead of playing 2 guards who are all less than 6'4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a large part of why the season fizzled after Sampson was fired, they were upset about that and upset that DD was the interim coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've always said, if there's one thing that I admired about Dakich, it was the purge he started and Crean finished. I'll always be grateful for that...

Probably hard to play when you are high. I watched a podcast with Jay Edwards and AJ asked if he ever played intoxicated and he said he would have a few beers before the game.

IIRC some of the players forced DD's hand and possibly for dismissed earlier than they maybe otherwise would have. I think 1 or 2 players just stopped going to practice because they didn't want to play for him. Or maybe walked out of a practice. Something like that. They were rebelling against him.

Feathery Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 1 hour ago, dgambill said: What’s weird to me is that mostly all our basketball teams over the years take on the identity of its head coach. Knights teams, Davis, Sampson, Crean....but Archies teams...not so much...how is that possible?? Or maybe this is the identity of Archie. We all say is small and a PG in the ACC, so he is tough. The ACC doesn’t play a physical game like the Big Ten. It’s always been more of an open game in that conference. My point is there is more to toughness than being short or being raised close to Pittsburgh. Maybe this team is in Archies image. It’s been 4 years, hard to say that it’s not IMO. saying that, if TJD comes back next year.... We should be a top 3 conference team with a shot to win the conference. This is assuming the freshmen progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take UW none of their players are NBA players so they all could come back next year and sign up for AARP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
