Message: [QUOTE="HailUConn, post: 5196399, member: 4174"] 3 conundrums for coaches. Before anyone reacts strongly, I firmly believe that Dan is one of best coaches if not the best, and also was in the camp understanding and supporting his choice of Samson out of loyalty. 1. Why keep starting Samson? Samson did nothing to keep the spot. He is a liability in defense and is one trick pony on the offense. Tonight Samson inexplicably played 35 minutes and Reed played 9 minutes, yielding same stats in rbs and pts. But the fouls Samson committed are momentum killers by either turnover or giving them FTs. As a senior, the foul on Wusu (6'?) tonight and foul on Ashworth with 95% FT shooter at 35 feet away are at this point just sad. 2. Why keep Mahaney experiment? Just swallow the pride and eat the crow. Every time AM on the court offense become stagnant and defense fouls piled up. 3. Why yank JStew so quickly? He actually can give us something in offense, and defense is work in progress. but should be way ahead of Ross, Mahaney. It's sickening that he gets pulled game after game even when he is red hot before a small mistake. it killed the young man's confidence. Still not sure what he did to get such treatment. [/QUOTE]
