Eron Harris, Justin Martin, or Ryan Anderson would be my very strong preference.

Yogi Ferrell Ferrell will undoubtedly be a success in life.   There will be frustrations and disappointments along the way, but the end result will be...   Outstanding.

Great people make bad decisions.   Great people make bad decisions, and rise above them with their actions.

  Gavin Block Block?    We need him and Deng Deng.

Not for nothing, but this recruit averages about ten Block shots per game.   Impressive.

  You have made a post worthy of your honorable, Liger-like avatar.   Kudos

  Good lord.

  ^^We have a winner^^

  I do not appreciate your inference:   The disappointment is NOT because he is in a photo with Middle School Bob. 

When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Middle School Bob.

When Bob was in middle school, his English teacher assigned an essay: "What is courage?" He received an A+ for turning in a blank page with only his name at the top.

Middle School Bob is now destined to become a Btownbanners legend.

SCHoosier made an excellent point: We need to address our very guard heavy offensive talent that will be featured next year.   In my opinion, the Hurryin' Hoosiers should be back.   Maybe even a modified version of Paul Westphal's Loyola Marymount run and gun squads.   Especially if Troy can become a threat from 3pt. territory.   What say you all?

  I betcha "Middle School Bob" is a helluva player after that 12 years of your instruction!   This post made my morning - fantastically entertaining stuff. Please post more often!

  Yogi, and Rob Johnson-(purportedly) also rebound very well for their size.

I expect to see us use a lot of zone. A lot.   CTC has put players like Hulls,VJIII,and Roth down on a wing in the zone.Putting either Stan or JB2 down is no biggie.

Paul Westhead's Loyola Maramount Fast Break and Transition Offense System - By Don Kelbick The "Loyola Marymount" break was developed by Paul Westhead. Coach Westhead developed a reputation as a free thinker throughout his coaching career. While at LaSalle College in the 70s and 80s, his "0" defense gained widespread notoriety when it was learned that the defense was named because one defender was asked to play no (zero) defense. All he was expected to do was anticipate a steal or a shot and take off down the floor to the offensive end and look for the ball. In the early 80s, he moved to Loyola Marymount University, where he developed a transition offense system that led to his teams being the highest scoring team in NCAA history. As I mentioned before, it's not the pattern that makes the play, it is the philosophy. Coach Westhead's philosophy was that he wanted to get a shot up in less than 7 seconds. He tried to create such a frenetic pace, that the other team would just give up. Often they did, out of utter exhaustion. I am not going to recommend to you that you adapt a similar philosophy. But, to enact that philosophy, Coach Westhead developed a break where its beauty was its simplicity. It featured numbered lanes and specific early cuts to follow ball reversal. By the time the ball was reversed, it had to be up at the basket. It is that simplicity that allows it to fit in with the half court offenses in this transition offense system.   The LMU break, like the Carolina Break, is a numbered break. 2 runs to the right corner. 3 runs to the left corner. 5 runs to the right block. 4 trails and goes to the left elbow. 1 advances the ball on the dribble as quickly as he can and tests the drive to the middle. The first option all players have when they receive a pass is to shoot.      1 can headman the ball to either 2, 3, or 4. The player's first option is to shoot.      If the ball is headmanned to the corner and he does not take a shot, he can look in to 5 in the low post or to 4 as the trailer.      If the pass goes to 4, it has changed sides of the court. Anytime the ball changes sides, the 5 man cuts block to block. 1 fills the wing. 4 looks to pass into 5 as he cuts.      4 can swing the ball to 3. 5 cuts block to block.      If 3 does not shoot, he looks into 5 on the block.    Read more: http://www.breakthroughbasketball.com/offense/paul-westhead-fast-break-offense.html#ixzz2zfVZ4hBS

      So are chemicals!   http://chemicalsareyourfriends.com/  

  I'm not sure a press will be a featured part of it. We will need real size to protect the rim when the press is broken, and I don't think Hanner will last in that environment.

  I'm going to start a thread titled "Offensive Strategy For Our Guard-Heavy Lineup".   It's a good discussion point - shouldn't be in the 'KJ Replacement' thread, but should be discussed.

  Nah. I disagree with you on many occasions, but you don't have deliberately unsourced, flaming opinions.   You feel how you feel; you don't make sh_t up.

  I plan to hold Hoosier Hoopster in contempt for many of his posts! ;)

  So would JaKeenan Gant.   Tim Fuller to IU = JaKeenan Gant to IU.   (see hoosierpap's recent link in the Gant thread)

  This..and especially     ^^THIS^^

Unless I'm mistaken, I believe that basketball4u is implying that CTC wants complete intensity and focus during practice and preparation, and that Coach KJ did not fit the model that CTC was looking for.    If so, this is a parting of ways that was bound to happen.
