Silas is not the only Siena big that can't seem to finish point blank in the low box. They all need to show a lot more aggression and the ability to finish with emphasis. The people who sit in my section and myself, we think the Siena bigs should stop putting the ball on the floor at point blank. I mentioned this last week. That's why it must be so frustrating for the coaches. Before every game in early warm-ups they run the bigs out and drill, inside feed by coach to big,no hesitation, turn and shoot. NO STEP! over and over. Beginning of the first half, feed inside to Silas, what does he do, holds the ball. Or he puts the ball on the floor and by then he's double teamed. Believe me, these coaches are teaching these kids the right things, but it takes time and it's sometimes hard to break bad habits. I guess I'm tired of people suggesting at times that these coaches don't know what they're doing. Our kids have to execute.

On the play in question they were obviously looking to get the ball elsewhere. The D parted like the red sea and white was a little surprised. When he realized it.... he took off but the second delay allowed a defender to rotate in and white was forced into an awkward pull up. That was all lack of comfort level ... and remember a lot whites time is coming as a defensive specialist. He certainly wasnt looking for his shot on that play. Freshman will do that. Well then Patsos reaction was horrific. He immediately took the timeout arms flailing and pointed at White to yank him after that shot. Are we sure it wasn't tipped? I thought a Marist player got his hand on it. Either way, Patsos called him out in a very public way with that TO/demonstrative yank. Maurice can't play his game.

That's a load of crap! Right now Oliver is playing 10x better!

Comparison is silly th24. Oliver and White are completely different players.

It's amazing how th24 is so against White. The kid is a hustle machine and has tons if upside. His shot will come with experience

I agree we should all temper our opinions because they are kids, but can we have some respectable criticism? I like white, a lot, I think he is going to be very good. But enough of the parent crap it is getting old. We all love our sons, I get it.

I'm just happy my son go to school 4 Free. Great post. despite all of the debate and nonsense that happens on all message boards the only truly important fact is these kids do what they have to do in the classroom and get that degree.

I am very confident that Maurice will work his ass off at Siena and continue to grow as a player, and more importantly as a young man. He is a tough kid that just needs some time to adjust. His body is D1 guard ready for this league, IMHO, the rest just needs to fall into place. Now, if I don't see him taking every opportunity to put it together in the off season, different story.
