No time for small play

[dogsrus]

We are NOT going to play AT and DC at the same time. Did anyone see AT. He's got a LOOOOONG way to go. IF SS can play like he did look for his minutes to increase....DC played as good as he has in awhile and needs to keep it up.

We are athletic and went to the hoop today. EM left his man several times and we found a cutting slashing TW finishing with the flush.

Its not about how many bigs play but utilizing them when they are in there. We tried to get the ball inside and they all crashed the boards pretty good.

AT might have a long way to go, but I don't think today was really a fair time to assess if he can contribute. AT had sat on the bench for 37 game minutes (which equates to about an hour and 45 minutes). He's talented and athletic and long. A few minutes here and there to rest DC and SS wouldn't hurt anyone, and might help this kid's confidence.

I'm worried about AT. With a depleted front court, no minutes, and two more bigs on the way, he's probably questioning a lot of things right now. He looks depressed on the bench, and I don't want him to transfer. I'm going to keep campaigning for AT. We can develop him without sacrificing results.

However, if he continues to play "small ball" when we get next year's recruits in, my season tickets are up for sale. I'm entirely sick of his propensity to play small playerIf I want to see "small ball" I will go watch a HS game like Tremont vs. Brimfield.[/QUOTE]


GTD....PM me if you give up your tics. I need 2 more next year. Thanks

You are probably correct...I'm pulling for him.

I still believe that given the right matchup, we could play AT with SS. AT needs to be on the floor with more experienced personel.

I, too, may be interested in those season tix GTD. Where are they at? I'll use a few for myself and give the rest out to my loyal Bradley Brave friends

I'm serious.... PM me if you're serious.

He's so raw and still needs to bulk up. He knows this and, from personal experience, is working extra hard to be the big guy we need. He acknowleges that he needs to improve to earn his minutes, and that is his goal. He accepts his role right now, though. He was in one of my classes and worked with us in a project, so I got a little info. Hopefully he means this stuff and really will put in the work and earn some minutes.

AT will get plenty of minutes at the 5 next year. It will take WE a bit longer to play large minutes next year and by then who knows, AT may place himself as the player we all dream of. The new comers are all 3/4 players. JP is a post player but will have plenty to absorb prior to really contributing. I do not see him or any other recruit taking sizable minutes from AT.

We, at least, started 6-4 Roberts instead of DN. We won and we did not start (3) 6' or less guards.

One of the biggest keys of the game IMO was starting Roberts on Mullins...he took away lots of what Mullins could do and I believe Bryan only scored 5 points when C-Rob guarded him
