Because you had people posing as insiders pushing the narrative we were in on him when we never were. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yeah and I wouldn’t care if he shoots the occasional 3 like a Juwan. But to say he is a wing is just wrong. I love the way we are using him this year and I hope he can keep it up all year. It’s much needed to get us back to the tourney. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

That he can shoot 3’s and is a wing. That’s what he started this year on with me. But those goalposts keep ever so quietly shifting..... BGleas who worked in the Celtics organization explained to him why he was not a wing and Joe keeps running with it like it was verified. Then when anything like this comes up he jumps back to that to rehash an argument that has been proven wrong and beaten to death many times over. It all started because I said he should work at the mid range level to the rim and Joe wanted him outside as a “wing”. Somehow how this year has played out has verified to Joe he is a wing...

A “little” is different than 50%, 75%, or 90%. At least where I went to school. But your alternative facts are alive and well today so don’t let me get in your way. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

You keep lying to yourself. It’s done well so far. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Well that’s your opinion which has been proven wrong more than most on here, and you are still relatively new at this. So there is that. But I guess that happens when you try and look at everything in a vacuum. You do you Joe. It’s worked out well so far. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Something tells me a recruit is more in the weeds than just listening to ESPN to shape their opinion. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Making the tournament is progress for me. Progress isn’t always linear. The tournament is a crapshoot and is based off matchups. Consistently being a top 3-5 team in B1G with a top 5 seed in the tournament is how you sustain success. As long as we are progressing towards that consistently I am cool.

Joe that was the week he was hired when the locals were already complaining about him because the hire was underwhelming. ESPN does not equal everyone. Archie was universally respected. Big difference. Shaka was universally respected (though if you look at my early prognosis of him to Texas I said it wasn’t a good fit). Strong was not and that’s why you got made fun of for putting him on your artificial dream list “when” we fire Tom Allen this year..... You are always going to have some positive. That doesn’t make it universal. Archie was. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Ha yes, the the people that actually covered Texas thought it was a great hire. A black man that had never recruited the state of Texas went out first week recruiting to Florida instead of the state of Texas. Yes they were very welcoming...... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

What’s truly funny is I only recall Texas getting the love you are talking about with those hires with Shaka. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yeah I think some are over the top but it’s their personality both ways. I mean, we saw Mid-major Miller be called out then edited in the Fire Glass thread. Just both ways can be over the top. When you lose like that it’s a collective effort or mentality. I am hopeful it was more of they just started reading their own press than something stupid happening behind the scenes. The ability to handle adversity is something this team will have to show. Last year or the year before we didn’t have that in us. If we do, I think we will be fine. If not? It will be another long year. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I think making the tournament this year is essential for perception and recruiting. I think I would consider myself one of the more positive when it comes to CAM, and I think it would put him in an impossible spot if he doesn’t this year. Would he get fired? Probably not. Would the fans that weren’t against the hire start turning on him? I think so. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I mostly stayed away Saturday night and yesterday. I am glad I did. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Yep. I think it was the Fire Crean thread. I had got to the point I wanted Archie or Holtmann. I absolutely didn’t want Marshall. But I would have given him the time for sure. More than anything I was ready for a change in coach. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Crazy. This team just doesn’t have an Izzo feel to it. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

This kid just competes in a way I think gets him on the floor early. His defensive upside is phenomenal. I can’t wait to see him in an IU Jersey. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I know I sound like a broken record, but imo OSU is the best team in the B1G. They have the look of a team that could be a legit 1 seed come March. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
