I am not criticizing the day after he played well...I watched Register most of his senior year in high school...He had good moments his freshman year at UL(last year)....Would have thought by now he would be carrying more minutes per game....THE BOY CAN SHOOT!! But, fine with me if ya'll want to bury him on the bench.....Good luck!!!

You do realize he's been about 30% from three point range, right? I've watched him shoot for two years, and he has had a couple of issues when he's been in game. He has been a defensive liability as he'd typically done a poor job of moving his feet to stay in front of the person he's guarding and hasn't been physical running through screens. On offense, he's seemed to be rushing his shot, which has led him on many cases to not getting his feet and body square before going up for the shot. When he slows down, or gets his feet set prior to receiving the pass so he goes up in rhythm and on balance he's shot the ball much better. No one wants him to be better and be a more reliable shooter than fans, but unless he can be more consistent it's hard to leave him in for long stretches. What I saw the same rush early in last nights game. To his credit, he looked much more in the flow on offense and on balance when he took shots in the second half. He did get beat off the dribble two or three times that was more related I think to not moving is feet. JMO

Is Ramone's mom back under a different name?

That's what worries me about this thread. The last time we had a friend/parent on here bashing Coach Marlin there was a mass exodus that set the program back two years. Now all of a sudden the Cajuns are losing games at home they should win, the "team leader" is acting out towards the media, and another friend/parent of a player is bashing Marlin on Ragin'Pagin.

I sure do hope this is not going to end similar to what happened two years ago.

The people criticizing the coach for not playing Heyward Register more are not his family members. They are too smart to do such a thing on a message board. I like many were encouraged by his play in the 2nd half last night. It showed his capabilities. Now let's see if that type of performance can occur when the game is on the line. That is something we all hope to see.

I pray to god Register doesn't have the green light that Brad Boyd had. Man that guy took some awful shots.

But it was fun to watch him. I saw Brad at the last game I attended. Why doesn't he post anymore? He used to have a lot to say about Cajun MBB. I'd recognize his posts whether he admitted who he is or not. He hasn't posted for years.

Because the RP Mob ran him off. And told him that potential coaches don't post here. Remember?

He was fun to watch at times, but far more frustrating most of the time IMO. He did have some nice moments though.

I "love" it when someone comes on a message board and "writes a check" that a certain non professional athlete has to cash.

When a player can consistently deliver such as being boasted on this thread, then we'll call that player a sharpshooter. Don't pressure the kid. One game does not make a sharpshooter. What he may had done in high school does not necessarily translate to the next level. Smaller pond, bigger fish.

I agree with you MAT to a degree. I don't like seeing players, that more often than not, have a self imposed green light. Those are the ones that I call one minute eggs. They come in, jack up the ball at the first look they get and clunk. Back on the bench in a minute, playing for self and not team, and killing what a coach is trying to do. Tend to be streaky as grandma's drawers after bad gumbo.

Leave HR alone, he'll get his groove if it is meant to be.

I do remember that. You are exactly correct. I wonder if he's still in pursuit of coaching at UL?

You are right about his shot selection decisions... but he could drop the bomb from the far corner and explode the crowd. I wonder what his 3pt percentage was? The stats don't show how he often kicked the team and crowd into 5th gear.

He was a lightning rod, no doubt.
I think the last time we discussed it, he was a 37-38% shooter.
