As you know, I am NOT a member of the Bob Marlin fan club. That being said, the last two games have looked much more like actual coaching was taking place on the offensive end of the court, rather than just rolling the ball out and playing street ball.

I completely agree. I'm not saying that he isn't coaching this team up. Its just that every time he does his job we feel that extensions and raises are due.

Ross Cook has commented how often we score out of a time out. And, we've been running plays to free up people. Frequently those plays are being run for players who maybe struggled in the first half.

IMO Marlin is a pretty good game coach. He's never had great defensive games or more correctly teams. His opponents win or lose almost always have somebody have their season or career best.

He's also not been able to get enough high quality talent to be a consistent conference front runner. That’s why he’s never been poached

At this point, we need to get other guys going outside of Gant. Defensively I cringe and its hard watching Miller made bad decisions all the time but the guys are definitely getting some production out of Hardy and Davis and now Russell. I wish Lafayette or Gladney were coming along much quicker to help on the front line but we can't do anything about that now.
