Stansbury, please make a Sweet 16 this year
- Thread starter Stormrider81
- Start date
Watch these wanks start freaking out as soon as the first rumor of somebody coming after Stans surfaces. And they will.
As soon as we lose in a Sweet 16 game, then it will be "Stans has never been to an Elite 8" and so on. There is absolutely no sense in griping about how we guarded Foster last night. Nine out of freaking nine. Alot of guys could not do that in an empty gym much less from 30 ft out with someone in their face.
I've been as pissed and critical as anybody when we didn't go further into the tourney with a #2 seed and a #3 seed, but calling out Stans for what happened last night is utterly ridiculous. Stans didn't miss 15 free throws and there is nothing you can do when a guy jumps over your guys from 30-feet and makes threes.
I think this year has been his best coaching job . Just seems that he has had some real disparate elements that he has had to pull together and he's done a damn good job getting them all to fit. Looks like we our performance trajectory is at optimal level.
Besides, my zen meditation book says that all auspicious signs are in place. I take that to mean we are set for a long tourney run.</p>

I've seen you play, and while you couldnt shoot as well as me, you were a good player. Would you have jumped the ball screen to double Foster and force it out of his hands?
I'm not blaming Ricky in any way for losing this game. I just think we made a mistake in this situation by not doing that.

If we play like we played last night I don't see why we don't make it to the FF, I really don't. We had that game won last night, even with horrible free throw shooting, with horrible shooting from outside the arc, and even with that mofo knocking down supernatural threes like he was. We had that game right up until the last shot. If we slightly improve on our free throws before the tourney, how could we not go as deep as at least the FF???
I just dont see how any coach in America would double a man down by two. Granted Foster was playing like Lebron on steroids, but you dont leave ANY man uncovered when you are down two. Down three, maybe so.
A mental lapse. Short of fouling him or blocking the shot, Barry could not have had more pressure on Foster. Give another team/player credit for once instead of taking a shot at our guys. You are unreal.
It's damn near impossible for me to read your entire email after it starts with this understatement:
"I've seen you play, and while you couldnt shoot as well as me, you were a good player."</p>
While I have made nine threes in a game, I have never made nine in a row, and I've been double-teamed as far away as half-court before. So, yes, I think we sagged too much on the final play, but it was still a tough shot, though not as tough as about half of the ones he'd already made. Honestly, I think he could have thrown up a Meadowlark Lemon hook shot from 3/4 court and made it.</p>

I hope we do make the Sweet 16.
The Monkey will finally be off Stans back and I will be one of the first to congratulate him.

Coach..seriously...STFU.. you are wrong. You were not their and have no clue and are grasping at straws.Barry didn't overplay the pass because if he had gone for the steal he would of then been out of position on the shot. and as said, you dont leave anyone open when down 2 to double. Barry could not have done anything different. and simply put. Foster COULD NOT miss a shot.
Foster played unlike anything i have ever seen in my life last night.
I am just very glad he is a senior.
