Message: [QUOTE="LStudfellow, post: 2220050, member: 5436"] Chief, you never quit - using that amazing 6-game run to the National Championship in 2014 to cover up the obvious depth issues we had in the front court from 2012-2013 through 2015-2016 is a false argument. 6 games does not change the fact we had an almost constant depth problem at both the 4 and the 5. For a guy who claims to know so much about basketball... you prove with your continued blanket defense even when the facts and history prove you wrong to be less than the smartest guy in the room. And for the record - even during that championship run our best 4 was really a 3/stretch 4 (Daniels), while we also spent huge portions of games throughout the tournament playing a small forward (Giffey) at center because our other options were limited, other than for a few seconds near the end of the first game (Olander, Nolan and Brimah). Your revisionist history aside Chief, all that championship really proved is that we had great guards and wing players, Kevin Ollie did a masterful job of strategically outcoaching the other coaches and it proves what can happen when you get a group of young men to play as a team that was better than the sum of its parts. Otherwise, your blanket defense once again fails. Just because the man won 3 championships and went to 4 final fours and Kevin Ollie and that great run to a miracle 4th does not somehow erase Jim's mistakes Chief. And again, my bet is that he would say the same thing. In the times I dealt with him I found JC to be a straight up, very honest man. I do not understand why you have to be much less than completely honest in his defense. [/QUOTE]
