So he won’t have any excuse about his golf game? Doesn’t sound like Benedict is getting his money’s worth out of him the last month or so before his contract is up - LOL

Hilton Head - he has been going there for years. Saw him at a wedding down in SC a few years ago.

Maybe so, but I have several visual images memories this season of empty seats behind the bench at both XL and Gampel.

Looking at it from a different angle, DB is in a tough spot, as there is far less money to go around now, and he's still expected to generate large amounts.

And this is coming from a guy who thinks the students should be all over court side.

I did not take a position on that, I understand business revenues. I just made an observation about reactions. I don’t believe I ever advocated students fill the lower bowl. I would have to move back. LOL

Not you, me. I want the kids on the court. I think it creates the best atmosphere for the games, and I think it further motivates students to attend.

That said, I understand their reasoning. Don't like, but understand it.
 
KO talks about punching first? Seriously? The team immediately covers up in the nearest corner.

The first 7 minutes was a kick to the teef. Something not seen in today's Chief brief.
 
I guess if I were as esteemed as @Fishy I'd probably nip it in the bud that this is my sock....

Chief’s Advice:
You have so many limiting self restrictions. My parents taugh me to engage everyone and to treat everyone with respect. I suggest you try that for a week and then evaluate how much better life is and how much more you will learn about others.

Tell it to the judge.
 
Chief, is there an chance we can meet? I live in Chicago but I will fly to CT at your convenience. I want to meet you. I need to meet you. I'm not joking. C'mon guy, cup of coffee, bottle of beer, slice of pizza, your choice.

Thank you, I am flattered. Who knows maybe some day soon? On the other hand, maybe Hawaii should be on your bucket list instead?

Gee, I thought I said what you said (see below from my OP). But, thanks for the feedback, communication is an art subject to interpretation. One can almost always do better.

“- KO talks about punching first but I got to tell you these Cincy guys really are fun to watch finding a body to hit when the ball goes up. Everyone finds a body and then they aggressively go after the ball. Very fundamentally sound. The casual fan may not see the beauty in this but to Chief’s eyes it’s a thing of beauty and something we can learn from.”

The team consists of role players. Some can rebound or defend, but not score, some score but can't defend. Be nice to have a couple who could play d, pass, and score....I'll bite, that has to be on the coaching staff.

Kids up close.
Reframe it as, "You're paying the big bucks to watch kids play: basketball, gymnastics, dancing, and wild cheering."
Not happening, but still my preference.

I wonder if Ollie is still teaching old-school box outs? That elbows up, reverse pivot stuff doesn't fly these days

Cinci clearly has a different mentality and it shows. Hit a body and pursue the ball. That's how every coach worth their salt should be teaching it imo, especially if you've got athletes who can rebound vertically.

Jesus. Im agreeing with chief
Expand ...

I don't have any doubt he's teaching it, the only reason you see guys facing the wrong way to make a box out is they weren't proactive on looking for the shot to go up as you know. Too late so the reaction is their guy is getting by so you block them any way, we saw Facey and Brimah do that a lot mostly due to the inability to feel the game, know when the shooter is ready to shoot it.

I will tell who boxes out well, the guards. They seem to have it down.

Vital is a pretty good example of new-school rebounding coaching.

He's jist aggressive, almost reckless, getting after the ball
 
Didn't watch the game but apparently we won. Nice.

Ya, never close but never really a blow out either. As I said in another thread, if Cincy does not take it by at least 15, I would be worried as a Bearcats fan, that is how bad the Huskies are. The way the Huskies played it really should have been more than 20 points victory for Cincy, honestly.

I am skeptical but open to consider the new school approach may work for guards but you only need to look at our rebounding rankings the last few years to know it doesn’t work for Bigs. They are closer to the basket and there is less real estate to seal off. The fundamentals also avoid fouls, something our team is plagued with.
Calhoun led the country in rebounding for many years using the old school techniques.

I was always thankful for the Big East toughening Calhoun's teams for the tournament, 2011 being the best example.

However that was a young and not very physical team but much more physical and talented than this year.
They got seriously mugged in the the Big East finishing 9-9 .
A bunch of BY’s even jumped of the bandwagon . Well we are at least consistent .
They did have Kemba the best guard in the country and when the refs actually started calling fouls it was game over.
