According to an article on the online version of the Advertiser, McCoy is not making the trip to Utah due to an ankle injury. It did appear to me that he did hurt his ankle on the play he was removed from the game on Tuesday. Supposedly he will play on Tuesday against Oral Roberts. Now, some of you may believe that the story of his not playing tonight due to an ankle is only for public consumption and he is really being disciplined. If so, I would understand that perspective.
My point was merely that there's more there than is offered for public consumption, and anyone trying to offer conclusions can expect a 50% failure rate.
I also heard a rumor that McCoy wouldn't eat his spinach. Someone saw the spinach on his plate and his fork was operating on everything other than the spinach. The witness saw this from across the cafeteria, but I believe Lee has a spinach problem on his hands. If he gets McCoy to eat his spinach, I think we'll be in the final four this year. It's that close right now. Well, there is that problem of the double knot in Grandigo's sneakers... stay tuned.
Good one. lmao!
2 (albeit lousy) games in and the '08-'09 season is done, over, finished, kaput. The players suck and the coaches can't coach. The next thing I read will be the cheerleaders aren't are cheery enough and the Ragin' Jazz aren't jazzy enough. Me, I'm going to hang in and I'll get to as many games as possible and support the Cajuns whether or not my hindendium maximus is seated or standing.
I just have to say, that getting out rebounded, outhustled, no sense of offense, and poor free throw shooting, and turnovers is all a direct effect of poor coaching. They don't take care of the ball and take too many quick shots, especially threes, which we dont have michael allen or sydney grider on our team any more, so we don't have any great shooters. Lee is not a good coach, this job fell in his lap and he is lucky to be here. If we would have had any sort of competent coach against Louisville in '05, we win the game. ( And don't forget about NC State the year before, we should have won that game as well, but Jessie Evans couldn't do anything either) I was there, Our team was just as good as theirs and they were worried. Lee didn't have a clue. This all started when Butch Pierre didn't get offered the job from Marty Fletcher. Pierre recruited all our players, Brooks, Mouton, Stokes, Starks, Allen, Mitchell in the early 90's. We got ball players, not just athletes that didn't know the game and couldn't run a half court set. Evans started it and Lee has continued it, athletes only win if they have guidance and a good system, but smart ball players will find a way to win, these guys can't. Then we surprise every and win our division and lose at home in the first round of our tournament. I remember when I was young, we never lost at home. Losing to Lamar, I mean come on, they are okay, but you gotta win in your own building. I'm sure coach Lee is a nice guy, but I'm tired of having thugs and athletes, not basketball players, on our team. He has got to go. You know who Lee could learn from, Byron Starks, he was a ball player, eventually, I hope he takes over the program because he knows the game and I think he could scout and recruit the area for better basketball players than Lee can.
Just got back from the ULM game. I am interested to hear others opinions of the game. I think McCoy was the difference tonight. The offense is under control when he is in the game, and the feeds he makes ... man.
We definately have a lot more inside game as well compared to last year. Batiste, Barr and Adeilfe (sp?) all rotate in. Hopefully this wasn't just a real crappy ULM team we were playing, but the offense looked great tonight.
ULM is not good right now. I think the real test comes Thursday night with UNT. But as for the PG play, I do agree that McCoy looked good tonight. But I wouldn't say that he is "the answer" just yet.
