Not sure whether it's been said already, but a win like last night is critical for recruiting. Create a buzz and continue to show growth and improvement on the court and recruiting should pickup exponentially.

I noticed that too. I thought it was a poignant moment in their relationship. Good stuff.redmen4life" post=417018 said:

Just two seasons ago our players and coach were racking up technicals, which distracts the team and hurts them. I love how our team is disciplined, no wild celebrations, no trash talking, no moaning to refs.
CMA is a terrific mentor and has fathered these players into becoming a mature group. He has their respect and attention. They believe in him and he in them. I love the family this team has become. Tough luck to those 4* & 5* prospects that don't see what is in store for them as a member of SJU.

And he also stayed on the bench waaaaaaaaaaaay longer then he normally does. At one point I thought maybe he got hurt on that fall. Maybe a little punishment for getting mouthy w/ coach.redmen4life" post=417018 said:

Could have been that but it seems CMAs approach this year has to get Champ one 5 minute or so rest each half. Yesterday we excelled when he took his breather.
I too, was concerned that Champ was hurt on the play where the Nova player undercut him . Also agree , if Champ was ok , he stayed out too long as the game dwindled down to crunch time . But , he asserted himself when he got back in and had the Double Double . One thing that needs remedy and doesn't seem to be happening , is letting Posh run the Offense in the last 10 minutes ! Dunn is a valuable player but , his incessant dribbling gets him double teamed and he turns it over .. Plus , he never really gives it up to a teammate to keep the passing rotations going . He had Cole open in the Corner several times and ignored him and dribbled to the middle and wasted shot clock . It's a legit critique . But , he's a tenacious defender . If Williams were healthy , I liked Dunn coming off the Bench but , the fall Greg took last night was not the therapy for a bad back .

Something I saw last night that hasn't been mentioned, when Moore picked up his 4th foul he turned and looked towards the bench and pointed to his head as if to say I have to think and I get what I just did wrong. CMA left him in, I think because he saw that Moore got it, and he played the rest of the game. This is a kid that was just benched for a game for not meeting team standards. Looks like the message got through and he is all in with the team. Great to see that.
Folks, the thread isn't being closed. I understand that a mod created this issue with a joke, but relax. Its not going anywhere.
If anyone has any questions about that or feels like offering guidnce on how we can be better at our jobs, please PM one of us. The forum isn't the place for those discussions.

I thought the same thing too. CMA has gotten through to the likes of Moore and Cole even when they were not playing well or did not meet his standards. His style of coaching seems to be working well with this team.Anthony Mattia" post=417045 said:
At one point or another earlier this season, pretty much every single kid on this team except Champ was maligned. Some(IE Cole is too slow to play at this level, etc) more than others. Criticism is one thing, but writing kids off so early in the season is a whole other. So happy to see these kids grow as individuals and as a unit. Excited to see them continue to grow.
Maybe we should have faith in a coach that has never had a loosing record in 19 seasons. A coach that has had to recruit against some of the biggest sharks in the business in the SEC. Maybe we should give him and his experienced staff a little more credit than we do as opposed to having knee jerk reactions when things are not going our way.Monte" post=417146 said:
paultzman put up a chart earlier showing the players stats this season to date. We have 9 players that contribute on this team. 2 are playing at all BE level, something no one and I repeat no one on this board predicted. 4 more in Cole, Dunn, Williams, Moore are averaging in double figures or are borderline approaching double figures. Wusu is playing at a level far above anything anyone could have predicted and may make the BE all rookie team. And this is a guy who bordered on being a 2 star recruit. Roberts has certainly improved as of late and the Duke has been a little bit of a disappointment. So 7 players are playing above their rankings while the Duke and Roberts are contributing but still finding their way.
clearly the man knows what he is doing. And by the way zero drama, I repeat zero drama something we are so unfamiliar with following our last two coaches.
just remember we are never as good as our last win or as poor as our last defeat.
Listen to the words of our dear sage Panther.
