5.6%?!?! When I was in H.S. I missed a hook shot in the lane. My coach took me out and asked if I was touching the rim with my left hand while shooting with my right. I said NO. He then said "If you can't touch the rim with one hand you are too far away." I never forgot that quote all the way...

Why is everyone looking at the past? Lets keep this thread about present and future.

ISU will have an advantage in every game this season... teams will have to use at least two defenders trying to keep Mary Crompton from getting free in threeland.

I used to look forward to Hoopfest. Not anymore. What a waste of time.

Start over... when a team is bad enough to get the coach fired. Let 'em all go and start over.

Interesting... not one of the 1st teamers are playing on Thursday. Guess, maybe, being on a winning team does help in the decision. In fact, Tone is the only Thursday night player on the second team. Even the third team only has two Thursday night players.

I used to broadcast college and CBA basketball. Grand rapids Hoops Coach Cazzie Russell told me what the fans want from a pro is 'consistency'. They don't want to buy tickets to games when the players have an off game. Not saying Reeves is not consistent... but he often didn't show up for...

Wonder why it is so hard to recruit??? Maybe prospective players read all this nonsense about firing the coach. Who wants to play for a fan base like what they see on this forum? Everyone was talking about what a loser Moser was until after he got the boot and went to a school many of you...

No baggage is worse than the outside "Chucking" the Birds do now. If he is big... bring him on. No more streaky outside shooters needed.

He is NOT a team player. The Birds did better when he was out a couple games with an injury.

Bad shooting night??? How about no offense night. The first half looked like a sand lot pickup game. No movement... no passing just shoot shoot shoot.

My college coach didn't tell me he was proud of me or that I was improving. He said. "You are the center. The lane belongs to you. Don't let anyone shoot in there... and you better get every defensive rebound." If I missed a rebound he would hit me on the head with his clipboard at the next...
