What do you think about these ESPN game casts? I get tired of them pretty quick. Then they spend hours talking about them when the game is over. Analyze every catch, every throw! I guess this is progress in the sports world.
Backhanded compliment. Like every win is a complete fluke. Excellent win, just enjoy it. A week ago no one saw 2 road wins coming.
Shrews will build up ND over the next couple of years. Rhoades is doing great and happy to have him.
shrewsberry was hired twice based on connections to Stevens. he is only in his 3rd year as a coach. rhoades has done more and i am not surprised it's playing out like this
I think Rhoads was pissed at the no foul call on kern or hicks last layup with about 15 seconds left. He barked at the ref who barked back, which set off Rhoads.
You’re not paying attention to what’s happening at ND if you think he’s in danger of getting fired
A little over a week ago we expected to beat Minny and lost. Now we won two road games we weren't expected to win which is great, especially without Clary.
he's not in danger of getting fired, that's for sure. but what exactly is happening? they aren't good at all. they have much better players coming next year, but what they have now is basically the team he would have been coaching at psu this year. i think Kraft played the situation brilliantly at the end of last year, and was effective at ensuring a good outcome for this program either way
They are one of the handful of youngest teams in the country. They are currently starting 2 freshman and 3 sophs, with their first two off the bench also freshmen. Everyone on the team that plays could be back next year, and they’ve got another good group coming in. Burton is a stud. They are playing the “long game”, rather than adding grad transfers to make this year’s record better. They’ll have some bright days ahead if they can keep this group together.
that's a lot of "ifs". what's actually happened so far is they are in the basement of the ACC
ND is playing a lot of underclassmen. Their future looks bright.
Who cares. I'm about supporting MY COACH, not dude who left the entire program high and dry after one good season.
other than Burton, none of that is anything remotely special
It was actually more “facts” than “ifs”. Is it surprising that they aren’t very good this season? Not to anyone that’s paying attention. But getting these kids these minutes will pay a lot of dividends down the road, and not a bad choice to sacrifice wins this year for development.
True, before today I had us pegged as only winning three more games, and while that’s still probably what I would say the rest of the way they continue to find some shooting , you never know.
ok... i think Kraft wisely recognized that once the bidding got up to the $4 million range that there were lots of other directions psu could go.
well if we are into facts, it is also a fact that they are 2-8 in their conference right now
Probably a good decision because Shrews wanted to be in Indiana anyway. It just hurt that he took Booth, Shrews Jr, and Njie with him.
Definitely…there isn’t a blank check, so Kraft needed to make a tough decision (and one that I had no objections to).
that's where i am not sure i agree. the team he took with him would have been at the bottom of this league too. its not a good team just because he is the coach. the Ws and Ls say otherwise
Yep, it comes with the territory of playing the 357th most experienced team in the country.
does that make it good? i mean Rhoades had less than 2 months to build a team from zero and they are in the middle of the pack in the B1G
I think Njie was a project from the start but he'll be a solid contributer as a JR and even better as a senior.
