Chief’s Briefs - Butler Edition

So Hurley is dumb too since he just validated what I said.

Another dumb one.

Chief I appreciate your data but rebounding has absolutely been an issue over the last few games. Vs Creighton Ashworth gets a huge 3 off an offensive rebound we didn't box out. Final moments of regulation yesterday JStew let's one go off his fingers and out of bounds, or how about the out of bounds after Telfort missed a second FT.

Even some of the rebounds we get when we are in good position can turn into a scramble. I'd like more Big Hoss Tarris to help us out with that. No doubt when he gets his paws on it

We rebounded well against cupcakes. But at critical moments against good opponents not so good. Toughness is not just physical but mental toughness also. Physical toughness doesn’t have to lead to fouling. Look at our 2 last teams. Toughness in basketball is about holding position. Blocking out. Staying in front of your man.

When I have time I will check the boxscores but I believe I will find we out rebounded and out assist our elite opponents.
The games we have lost (except Dayton)have been by a few points yet we gave up 12-18 more foul shot attempts. Would only make sense we led in rebounds and assists to do that and from doing the Briefs I remember that in many elite opponent games.

I usually don't jump I to Chief's Briefs, but today I will. I think most of our fouls were warranted.

I do believe Butler got away with a lot of clutch and grab off the ball, especially on Ball. Those should have been called to allow player movement. Those are legit fouls that weren't being called. Some ref units are calling those, but not the crew last night.

Hurley should tone down his antics and just work the refs on one or two things to get some calls.

I don't see any ref conspiracy. I see a lot of bad D and fouling. Earlier in the season Johnson seemed to be getting 1 to 2 bad calls against him, but lately the ones called on him and his teammates look legit. Maybe we're not getting enough calls on our offensive end, but I don't think we hunt contact enough or use up fakes to draw fouls.

Check out Pat Driscoll’s games. I present data and you call them conspiracies based on your feelings.

I don't know who you are talking to. I never said anything about conspiracy theories. Just sharing my observations. You don't just present data. You present your views as if they are infutible, which they're not.

Perhaps he's Chief of the Slapaho tribe and he thinks of you as one of his hoes.
