Re: Coach Jackson

Second wftc's assertion that coach Jackson is a great guy. If you're a praying type, spend a few on him.

Re: Future opponents

On a zoom call today Abell said Furman wants to do a home and home, and UC-Davis inquired about the same. We're getting there, and the new facility is a big reason why that's so. Kudos to the people who gave up boatloads of cash to help make that happen. Sad to say, the efforts of the coaches, playe...

Re: In Game: at Richmond

In my observation, very many times when a 3-point shooter is fouled, contract comes after the ball has left the shooter’s hand, sometimes somewhat later. What is the point of that? Is it just that in the rush to defend, momentum takes over? Momentum is the primary factor. But many calls are subject...

Re: Dalton Knect went Ernie Graham tonight

I can remember Ernie Graham and Lawrence "Boogie" Boston being Holly Farms Players of the game at one time or another for Lefty's Terps.

Re: In Game: at Richmond

I absolutely want to play them. It would mean we'd already won a game or two and we'd be playing them instead of Dayton. Toss in the revenge thing and what's not to like?

Re: Lefty Driesell

I have been very lucky, in that I've had a large number of one-on-one conversations with the Lefthander over the last 15 years or so and, importantly, did so as someone who was not one of his players nor was I his employee or employer. With neither of us the boss and no money involved, I had all the...

Re: Lefty Driesell

We understand that a 1969 photo of Lefty at Cole Field House might be of an East Regional Wildcat game, but that's asking a lot, really, too much, of the New York Post.

Re: Lefty Driesell

In a Davidson application essay I wrote about Lefty Dreisell. He'd been gone for over 5 years. Don't remember the question but it seems certain in retrospect that it was willfully misread in order to produce that response. So the red lights were flashing and they had every chance to avoid making a m...

Re: It ain't the rims

Not sure Gerdy could have beaten the best actual percentage numbers. Had there been a 3 point shot then, in the context of our roster, he would have seen some insane junk defenses. As it was, top ten ranked Wake Forest put a box and one on him (and held him to 40 on 18-24 shooting from the field, bu...

Re: In Game: vs. Ohio

I'm a lot happier about this than many here but, admittedly, that's probably a default setting.

Cats have clanged potentially clinching FTs in consecutive game and won them both.

Re: Up next: Longwood

They must have had five offensive rebounds on their first possession. I wouldn't be too hard on them for any perceived inefficiencies after the score hit about 31-13.

One thing that seems pretty clear now is that if you're of a mind to bandwagon a sports team, this one will do.
