Message: [QUOTE="Hoophound, post: 4488982, member: 271"] Newton is, was and will be the answer. His main skill is drawing fouls. Hurley needs to keep mentioning in the press that we just aren't getting the calls. The foul disparity is sickening. Yes, we foul quite a bit, but we get 0 calls at the rim. Newton is historically a foul magnet. I said weeks ago, Newton needs to be empowered to do his thing and stop deferring to Hawk and Sanogo. We need the Newton that played for ECU. He isn't even trying to be that guy. He's trying to be a pass first guard and he just isn't. You don't go from 18ppg in the AAC to this guy without the coach having something to do with it. They've got to embrace him as the lead guard and get him going. [/QUOTE]
