Typical Dookie -- he asked about the "head butt" . . .

Perhaps, but a desperate P4 who needs a starter at guard can likely outbid us and offer starters' minutes from day one. I'd love to have him but don't like our chances.

I have a call with external counsel in an hour -- he's a Duke law school grad and huge hoops fan. Pretty sure he flew in from Mexico to DC this weekend. This is going to be fun . . .

We needed so many things to happen perfectly -- a mistake, a play to induce the mistake, multiple plays to capitalize on the mistake -- they all happened.

I’m dumbfounded that people don’t understand this

As I said, everything was good execution wise until the lesser Boozer dribbled into the defense, but you can certainly criticize who was where. Evans should have inbounded, and Cam Boozer should have been the guy flashing to the middle. That probably means that Cayden receives the inbound...

I love the analogy. Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, UNC are Hogan, Snead, Palmer, Nicklaus. We came along and blew the entire thing up. We're Tiger.

I was in the Bahamas in 2024, and I'll be in the Bahamas this weekend.

The problem is that he turns and dribbles right into them.

You’re missing basketball fundamentals 101. Catch, turn, face. He does that and he has three options to get the ball to someone with no defender near him. You want him to cradle the ball and ask for a tie up. I seem to remember Colin Gillespie holding the ball against us in 2022. That didn’t...

In the spot where he caught it, you are supposed to catch, turn, and face. Instead, he immediately turned and dribbled into the teeth of the defense before trying to pass over them.. If he does what every player is taught to do in that circumstance, there’s no way we steal the ball. But he’s a...

The lack of a 10 second violation is irrelevant. You're playing keep-away, and you use the whole court. Complete the pass, and the game is over. Hold the ball, and it's not. Ball fake, one dribble to the right and you have the passing lane.

If we were in that position and held the ball and there was a tie up, there would be an army of people screaming "WHY DID HE HOLD THE BALL!!!" and telling us how we can't break a press. It was a perfect press break up until the time Boozer panicked. If he just gives a ball fake there, Silas...
