Rebounding and Taylor Brown

[amckillip]

Every one? I agreed with you about Warren the other night. Forget that one? Selective memory I guess. Do you read all of my posts, or just the ones that aren't all rosey BU red? I've rarely complained about JL's ability to evaluate talent, or our talent level. I think our talent level has been just fine. I challenge you to find me one fan base that doesn't have comments from time to time on how players are being utilized. Plus there are several posters on here that do agree with me from time to time, so it appears you have a personal gripe with me rather than just a differing viewpoint.

And whether I had the 'math' right, I asked an honest question as to our ungodly rebounding margin and whether TB would be making that much of a dent in it. I expected a drop off when he went out, I didn't expect us to be averaging -15 every night against DI competition. To those who chose to actually respond to the question rather than try and accuse me of having some anti-JL bias or agenda, thank you.

I have no personal gripe at all with you, as a matter of fact, just a couple of weeks ago I pointed to you as a person who stated their points well against JL. But when a thread is posted about Drake getting killed and a couple of posters push it to a anti-JL topic, then another thread is started after a 'we're getting beat so we're just as bad' type comment doesn't work out, with numbers and logic that are clearly incorrect and do everything but say it's still JL's fault, I'm going to comment. I generally think every poster on here is a good person and a BU fan, and think they should post what they want. But I'm going to respond as I see fit, just as they can. If you think that's personal, then please, keep side-stepping, otherwise, can we stop the persecution complex?

I don't know why you're so paranoid to think every observation that isn't positive is some sort of premeditated shot at the coach. It isn't. We've stunk at rebounding for a while now, and we do this year through 3 games. It's not a shot at JL, it's an observation that's pretty well supported over the past several years. Dave Reynolds wrote about it heading into the season. Is he taking invalid shots too? I worry that our rebounding woes are going to come back to haunt us. How is that taking a shot at JL?

Maybe it has to do with your signature being a premeditated shot at the coach. The fact that you feel it important to take that shot with every post you make would seem to say a lot about your approach to Bradley basketball. Just my opinion.

TB would probably average around 14 points and 8-14 rebounds a game, something our starting lineup sorely misses right now. A lot of good rebounders, just have a nack for where the ball will end up judging by the ball trajectory and know how to position themselves for the rebound.

Either way, forcing 20+ turnovers in 3 straight games is no fluke. That should help tremendously. Now they just need to work on the offense in practice now LOL.

The JL-bashers can't have things both ways- they want to pile on JL and blame him for everything when Bradley loses, but we are 4-0 this year despite playing without our best player and injuries to several other key players, and yet the JL-bashing seems to be at an all-time high!

If he is responsible for everything like the bashers claim, then let's give him some props for the 4-0 start, and lay off the negatives .
