If Rick P wants to demand all his players, rebound, pass, and defend, and is willing not to budge on that for anyone early in the year, then we should be thankful for it. Music to my ears.

Seems weird to demand 6-2 point guard rebound but not demand your point guard doesn’t turn the ball over 5 times a game and shoot every third possession.
Again just find Dingle stuff strange
I guarantee you my crew will be loud
Not mutually exclusive. Dingle is huge. Not asking him to box out charles Barkley. Asking him to pretend like he’s interested in helping on the boards.
Obviously Jenkins TOs are an issue.

Just seems uncomfortable and all this stuff coming out about what he doesn’t do, I don’t think helping. He does one thing very well and just think him getting efficient 20 would help mask a bunch of things this team struggles with.

Agree he looks uncomfortable. My opinion is if he got himself going doing other things that don’t require a made shot, he might just get himself more comfortable.
It’s that and also I don’t want guys who show no interest in other parts of the game not involved with their own points. This isn’t Larry picking up coeds at pace or sju.
I don’t think he will shoot that poorly, but I can live with it if he does here and there. That would be my message as his coach. I’m not okay with Jenkins shooting at that volume.If they shoot that poorly how are they the right guys?
Dingle was brought in to score for a roster that clearly needed an alpha scorer. If that’s not Dingle, then this is an NIT team.

I imagined him in the Hatten/Ponds role
Def didn’t see Jenkins in that role
Dingle as brought in as 1 of 12 transfers, so far he has shown little; you think he is an alpha scorer, I have no idea, but I have not seen anything resembling that type of player but ridiculously early to be judging IMO. And maybe this is an NIT team, that also very much remains to be seen.
And get there early, because you know the Dayton people will.

The 2 $64,000 questions are:
1) do they have, even, a decent lobster roll in the area?
2) do they have BRONX IPA or did @mjmaherjr smuggle down a case or two of it down with him?

I have no idea what Zack is talking about here with his last point but Dingle absolutely did not pass up open shots. I can't even think of one that he passed up.
Give them hell! I would say 40 minutes of hell, but that phrase leaves a bad taste in my mouth
The thing is if he is not that guy, he will lose minutes to Wilcher with Jenkins moving to the 2, I think. If that works, still an NCAA team
First thing I ate when I arrived. Haven’t seen any BPAs though

When in doubt, smuggle the beer.
Don’t come back without a win.

Just maybe Rick should tell Jenkins to shoot more and Dingle to shoot more.
Lots of posts about Jenkins taking too many shots which I agree with but also want to make a distinction between shooting and layups. At one point in the game yesterday I believe I counted 7 or more drives to the basket where he didn't quite get to the hole and ended up putting the ball up off the backboard at a very severe angle and not even coming close to making the shot. I didn't mind his shooting but drives that don't get there and end up as blind prayers need to come out of his repertoire! Without those shots yesterday he would have been more like 6-11. From what I've seen of video, Dingle and Wilcher are both much more likely to finish those drives with buckets.
