    Arkansas Postgame Thread

    I don’t believe you can advance the ball once it is in play. IF they called a shot clock violation we could have called a TO and advanced it. CW’s mistake was not immediately calling TO which would have given them 3.9 sec instead of 0.3.

    Geno on player status update

    At least he’s not taking his melancholia out on a poor student reporter like Coach K !!

    OT: RIP Phil Spector

    He “playfully” stuck a gun in a young lady’s mouth and pulled the trigger. P.S. - his “Be my baby” by his future wife Ronnie Bennett and the Ronnettes is quite possibly the greatest record of all time, an early wall-of-sound, girl-group masterpiece !!

    Looks like 5:16 of action, which is indeed most of the fourth quarter.

    Wondering if the BY can help me understand some defensive X's and O's

    Easier said than done. If you cheat too far out on the opposing PG you likely would open up the middle which is a much harder and dangerous territory to defend than 25-30 feet from the basket out top. It also opens the skip pass (which of course was a no-no in “our” day) and kids shoot the 3 way...

    What sport or other endeavor requires the greatest all-around athletes?

    As a baseball coach of forty years there is no doubt that hitting a baseball is THE hardest thing to do in the world of sports. However that is a particular skill as is skating, hard to do but an individual skill. IMHO, nothing takes the combination of size, strength, speed and multitude of...

    TV Coverage

    I’ve had DirecTV for six years since I retired from Connecticut to N.Carolina and love it. On their sports package (which is extra) you get FS1,FS2, SNY, MSG,YES, NESN, SEC, BIG10, ACC, ESPN and pretty much anything you want or need EXCEPT PAC-12. It didn’t take a psychic to realize “cutting...

    Fudd is down to UCLA and UConn

    Two things I’d like to say about Pepperdine - I lived in LA in the fall of 1974 and saw that Seattle U. was coming in to play the Wave. As a former FCIAC coach I was excited to go see Head Coach Bill O’Connor (Stamford HS grad), Asst. Coach Dave Bike (ND-Bpt) and players Jerome Maultsby (Fr. -...

    Fudd is down to UCLA and UConn

    I also remember something from a few years back that Geno and CD compiled a montage of mom while at Georgetown and compared her form to her daughter’s (did not mention her name).

    Best Player Ever From The State Of Connecticut

    Calvin's "studness" did not extend to Academia. There were many a story in the day of then UConn coach Fred Shabel on his knees begging the Admission folks to find a way !!

    Best High School BB Coach Ever in the State of Connecticut

    There is nobody in the state of Connecticut who did so much with so little as Don Usher at New Canaan. Although he never won a state title, he made two championship games - one in 1980 versus the Wilbur Cross team that beat Ewing. NC was down one as the clock ran down and executed his play...

    We picked the all-time starting 5 for UConn women's basketball

    That's exactly the five I picked. Except for head coach - I'd go with CD, after 30+ years she is, after all, undefeated !!

    OT: Cliff Robinson

    When Clifford and Phil Gamble had their academic issues the Athletic Dept. and the one-man counseling program (at that time) hired my wife (who was in graduate school working with Betty Remigino and the track team) to tutor them back to eligibility. Both young men were terrific kids who wanted...

    A dream come true for Triad - Coach P. will not return [merged thread]

    I know folks will take your post as sarcasm, but I recall sitting in STUNNED silence in the then Hartford Civic Center around 2005 ( I'm old, can't remember specific year) as Coach P's Mich. St. Spartans systematically dismantled the Huskies. We were never in it, I often wonder what the heck...

    June 2020 UCONN recruiting thread

    Years ago (late '90's) I got tired of listening to Duke and Coach K's sickening self-promotion of their men's program's academic prowess so I did a little research and found that the average SAT score for Duke was a little over 900. For Stanford it was over 1400. I believe it was 1999, when we...

    RIP Wes Unseld

    Wes Unseld battled Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Nate Thurmond and other tall powerful centers of the day while being just 6'6 1/4. He also battled Willis Reed but having stood next to Willis while he was coaching Creighton and recruiting one of our players, he isn't much bigger !! Wes also...
