Chief’s Briefs - Memphis Edition

[El Obrero]

Mega Brain Truth: Coach Baby Pants cost the team the game by thinking an undersized transfer from the perennial 2nd place WCC team was enough to replace Newton, Spencer, and Castle all at once, and continuing to start that player to double down on his own error.

How ‘bout we put a little pin in that one, and then come back and see how it’s aging in March? I mean, yikes, Thanksgiving ain’t even here yet!
But sorry to interrupt; you were calling out the best college coaching staff in the country for shatting the bed in the portal, with your definitive (5 games in) analysis of Aidan Mahaney’s potential. Please continue. I’m sure Tristan Newton is interested in what you have to say as well.

I don't get the cylinder rule. Samson got a foul called when he tagged the defender underneath him with his elbow but Solo doesn't get the call when getting clobbered by a swung elbow. With this cylinder rule it doesnt seem possible to trap?

Ya I mentioned the same starting lineup in the chat- just too obvious- Mahaney defensively was the main reason why we fell behind by 12

He needs to figure it out

The Solo hitting the Memphis player in his elbow with Solo’s face was yet another terrible call. A player is NOT suppose to flagantly swing his elbows - period!

Two parties are involved in the technical foul. He probably should have been T’d up earlier in the game. Refusing to assess one earlier and deciding to do it there is at best a mistake, and at worst deliberate timing.

My one criticism of the refs is they didn’t eject him early second half.

lol. If game unfolds the way it did they probably win. Coach loss. Like, second or third time that has happened in his career here. There is no need for it.

Competitive juices are one thing, being a madman is one thing, but the rage to not be able to stop is not healthy. I mean, ya gotta be able to just be quiet.

Seemed like he had taken a Xanax before today's game. Was pretty reserved relative to his antics yesterday.

The ref should be facing discipline.
