Message: [QUOTE="TyroneShoo, post: 4189863, member: 3007"] Ya got company- since the turn of the century, Nova does that to every single team they have played..and usually make free throws …ever since Scottie Reynolds’ “shot fake from behind the arc to get ya airborne and then you are screwed” bonanza of yesteryear. As irritating as it gets for opponents. Even More irritating than the “back ya down slowly and post ya up like your dad did in the driveway“ stuff. As a Nova guy -opposing fans‘ response is usually “how do we lose, when we clearly have better players”. no ya don’t , Some athletic but thin 18 yr old guy has a highlight reel dunk and their fans say “we are more talented than Nova…….”. sometimes it’s true, usually it isn’t. after hearing this from my seton hall buddy once….I finally just told him- “how many times do you have to lose this way before you realize that you are NOT more talented. you may have created the more memorable play.. but style points are for figure skaters. Basketball is about buckets and you are not better at getting more of them. But, you have fun with all your “talent”. “ I def deserved the “oh, Go F#@k Yourself” I received, but I was kinda right... SIDE NOTE: I don’t get the Hurley ripping in here. He is really good at his job. The guy comes off like a maniac who may give himself a heart attack. But, he is passionate and really good. He has turned this program around. Is it perfect? No. But neither is anyone else’s situation. You should read the criticism Jay Wright gets for not playing younger dudes or not recruiting tall dudes. Hurley is fine ..you are fine! Good luck the rest of the way. [/QUOTE]
