You can’t use rice and Carlyle in your examples when 1. They didn’t care and 2. Woodson was there coach who did zero to put them in a spot to succeed/develop them.

I can. And I did.

This thread is 458 pages of a whine fest and I pop in with "let's give this staff a chance" and it's a lot of emotion? 

Wow. If you want to just discuss basketball, why did you ignore the first half of my post that was discussing basketball and only quote the second half? 

Because you framed it all as “cmon guys we’re all Hoosier fans” rah rah nonsense which I have no interest in.

You promise to own this when his shooting stats are suboptimal next year.  To me, I fully think he’s the backup.  If he’s playing 10-12 hard, tough minutes I can live with that.  If he plays with the effectiveness hulls played his freshman year, yet gets 20+ minutes a game then that’s the day I start the fire DDC thread.  
 

I got more faith in this coach to figure things out on the fly.  I’ll wait to see what other guards we get.  Enright won’t be launching too many shots anyway.  So it’ll come down to his ballhandling and defense.  Which I’m also not high on.  It’ll be fun to see where this goes. 

No offense, but: 

Stop it.

I've said the entire time he's a backup. I am talking about his shooting. But, I think he's a really good 6th man. 

Hulls isn't a good comp 

I mean, he defended fine in DDV system at Drake.

I placed bets with some of the burners this year on predictions I knew wouldn’t come true. They didn’t pay them off in the end believe it or not.  
 I want Enright to be great.  I don’t expect him to start or get Starters minutes. Him becoming an 80% FT shooter would be a stat I’d be willing to bet on.  
 

Anyway, my thought is we will have 3 to 4 other shooters on the floor with DDV so if our pg is our worst shooter on the team, then other guys get more shots. It can work.  The FT shooting bothers me because the guards on most of these winning teams just don’t seem to miss free throws. Leal, Galloways scarred me shooting in the 60s for the past 2 or more seasons. 

Shocked they didn’t pay their bets…lol. 
 

The main problem I see with Enricht is his FT shooting. Makes him unplayable at the end of games. Complain about Rice and Mbako all you want—and I have plenty—but those guys won us a couple games with their FT shooting that would’ve been lost if left to Leal and Galloway. Michigan was in a bunch of tight games largely because Wolf and Gayle were awful ft shooters. Duke is the opposite.  
 

So if we’re getting the guy as a rotation piece, then I say great. If the plan is to have him be the primary ball handler and close games, I think there are some red flags in his shooting numbers.

We’ll find out next year. I heard it all this time last year about Rice and Carlyle from you guys. We’ll see if you’re right this go around. If he shoots 40% from 3 and 80% from FT line, we all win. 

He did though, for a healthy 47 games. 

I'm not sure what Rice has to do with Enright.

If Bailey is really done and you get Pack…you’re cooking with gas at that point…

I know this is rare take but in don’t love it. If it is, it is.  

His FT percentage is good though. 

[Certified Sunshine Pumper 11,390]

1.5 FTs per game 

And we're comparing Enright to Duke.

All you did was quote someone else saying the same thing I did. I still haven't seen your response. 

I'm giving you a chance to "talk basketball" here but you seem to only have an interest in letting everyone know how angry you are. Which of course you've done plenty of in this thread.

This was your statement:

”Thekid's a Hoosier, let's give him and the new coaching staff a shot here instead of tearing them down due to a previous coaching staff/players disappointments.” 

 

Thats not basketball. It’s just rah rah fandom. Worse yet you accused me a maligning the kid when I never did. I don’t have a response because it doesn’t deserve one. Post something about basketball and we’ll talk.

Possible for sure. Or that his source is Trilly lol 

Still not a burner though 

[DChoosier 9,609]

If we land Pack (83% career FT shooter) does that make the “Enright can’t be trusted to shoot free throws at the end of a game” discussions a moot point ?

Again, you're failing to acknowledge the entire first half of that post which was statistically disproving your argument. 

The second half wasn't even "rah rah fandom", it was stating how silly it is to compare a previous coaching staff/player to a completely different coaching staff/player. 

At this point it seems you're just intentionally trying to keep the subject away from any basketball discussion. It's there if you'd like to shift this back in that direction.

We need a good defensive guard and good guards around pack. If we do that and he’s our 3rd option we have a solid team
