One of its very specific purposes is to address the fouling/free throw/drawn out end to games we often see now. I think the amount of times a game would last longer b/c of the Elam ending will be very rare. The amount of games that will last less time b/c of the Elam ending will be a lot.

Why?

Yeah, it’s the one reason I’m not totally on board with it yet....eliminating the chance of a buzzer beater. But on the flip side, every single game would have a game winning shot. As far as the 80-56 game, doesn’t matter how it ends...Elam ending, normal ending, the end to that game is not going to be exciting.

If we aren’t discussing the Elam Ending we are discussing the wrong things. I said what I said.

Did I miss something he actually said himself? Or has it just been fan/message board chatter?

Kind of thought this might be the case. He pretty much fits exactly what Woodson wants, all his teammates came back, there is more life/excitement around the program than at any time during AF's 2 years here, yet he still leaves? Best of luck to him but he was never coming back for his junior season regardless of who the coach was.

Does he guard himself? Sorry, couldn't resist.

I'm pretty sure he had a quote somewhere after he committed here that he could tell from the opposite sideline last season that he wanted to be a part of this.

I don’t care what anybody says, losing your beer shooter, whatever that is, sounds really bad.

Baylor alone had 4 starters that were transfers as well as Flagler off the bench. Working the transfer market has become just as important as high school recruiting.

Yeah that's true, wanting to maybe talk to the assistants. And yeah, I'm fine with them taking their time and exploring options. Hopefully a nice chat with Coach Fife will have an impact.

Yeah I'd be more surprised if they did come back now vs. transferring. There isn't anything else they're going to hear at this point that will swing them toward staying. Remember they are still students in the spring semester for a couple more months. It's not like if Armaan commits to Illinois, he can pack up and go now. Same for Race. Once they do announce, do they get to use the team facilities still? I'd imagine the delay is just to buy as much time as possible to avoid awkwardness. Though surely it can't go on much longer.

I don’t know what’s happening, that one works for me too. Technology!!!

Hmmm...I just tried it again and it worked for me. I played the imbedded video right here from the thread, I didn’t pop it into another window or anything, not sure if that would make a difference?

Yeah they started with things like when are you making the drive....I have to get a seat moved in the car for the dog crate, etc. But he's on right after the intro.

Just start at the beginning, he's the first guest.

Me

YOU SAID A COUPLE OF ASSISTANTS AND WE ONLY ANNOUNCED ONE I’M NOT SATISFIED CHRIS!!

It definitely stinks.

It’s definitely gonna be hard.

I couldn't help but laugh at this b/c it reminded me of one of the greatest Flight of the Concords songs of all time. "You're so beautiful, you could be a part-time model!" "When you're standing on the street, depending on the street, I bet you are definitely in the top 3....good-looking girls on the street. Depending on the street." Classic.

I thought it was pretty funny when he mentioned Johnson and Green he specifically quoted only their assist numbers. Translation: "yeah I'm recruiting guys that will get me the ball."

If he could hit one 30 point shot per game I think we'd all be happy.

Not that he was a candidate here at any time but his name came up here and there. This is why I'm glad he wasn't actually a candidate. Can you imagine if we had hired him a week or 2 ago? He would have Chris Beard-ed us in a heartbeat to go back home and we'd have more egg on our face than ever.

So all the teams that ARE good at shooting DON’T lift during the season?
