After rereading this thread I really have to apologize to Evan, sometimes as fans we get way to caught up in the game and forget that most kids playing athletics at Siena are student athletes. I know these kids are putting a lot of time into school, missing summers, practicing for hours and traveling and I commend them for their effort. In retrospect some of the things I've posted were too harsh and out of line. When I stopped and thought about how I would feel if I was reading some of these comments about myself or one of my kids, well it just didn't make me feel all that good.
When put into the proper prospective this is just a game and entertainment for all to enjoy. Yeah, everyone wants to win but in the scheme of things it's really not life or death.
Evan and co best of luck for the remainder of the season. If I get out of line and post a few ill advised comments ignore them, it's just the rants of an overzealous fan!

The lineup of Smithen Wright Clareth Richards and/or Shivers speed is pretty good. I saw the bigs on GW were somewhat frustrated with our speed. You can mix JO Brett WB as the fifth person as well. The four guard offense and a single designated rebounder/paint defender. Interesting, but I believe ill advised.

Jimmy was on the radio today.
Said:
"Guards aren't rebounding enough". -Somewhat agree..but they are still out rebounding someone. "Not shooting the three well" - We practically lead the MAAC in 3 pt shooting right now. Not really. 'Shooting too many threes...would like to go inside and draw fouls more'. - I feel better that he agrees and wants to go back to Siena's strengths.

I don't think people would be mad towards Evan if he played 5 min a game. Much of the anger I sensed was towards the one playing him so much.

I don'have the answer but if so many fans see "the glaring mistakes" EF keeps making but JP does not, maybe it is the fans who do not understand how JP is attempting to use him. Not as a BB clone, but something a little different for a different purpose. I do know that "the best athlete Siena will see all year outside of Kansas" was only 12 and 6 in 38 minutes and I don't think JO did that solo (his 19 and 7 was great btw). In addition, I submit: 1.) JP is a professional, experienced, college head basketball coach (anyone else on here able to say that?) 2. JP sees the entire team, including WB for hours every day in practice. 3.) JP has determined that EF is a better fit in the line-up for his game plan to date. 4.) I go with JP.

Still in the middle of the road concerning JP. The JP haters are not going to like how you laid out the facts. Guy is human like the rest of us and will make mistakes, agree with the crowd with the number of minutes EF is playing. WB needs to be inserted just to have game minutes.

OD, I am kind of mystified by that (WB min) too but as I said, I just see the games. Against GW it doesn't seem like EF was put out there to be a sniper, he was 0/2, both from 3pt. range in 14 min, but maybe the thought is to have him draw out one of the bigs and have the guards crash the boards for the offensive rebounds, which JP says he was disappointed with. I dunno, just guessing like everyone else.

Next thing you know H. C. will apologize for calling half of America deplorable basket people. Just to be accurate, she did not say "half of America"! She said "half of Trump supporters". Of the 64% of registered Americans that did vote, 47.2% voted for Trump and 47.9% voted for HC. If you, for ease of discussion, say ALL, and not half, of Trump Voters are deplorable, that would project to only 31.7% of all registered Americans. Using her "half" estimate would identify 15.9% as "deplorable"! So the number of deplorable Trumpettes is not so vast - but they are definitely half-vast.....

She wasn't politically or otherwise correct but I understand I must be.

She can call them anything she wants, as long as it's from Westchester, and not from the White House.

Not one more single negative comment about any of our players the rest of the year, no matter what they do. Let's see how long this lasts....
