Stats don"t lie

[Chico]

WHAT? You know DA was a walk-on? Jimmy gave him way more time than most coaches would and it paid off. Then, after saying he didn't play the walk-on DA enough you criticize him for playing Woods, who by all accounts is more ready for D1 than Danny was. Finally as if I didn't agree with this post enough, you say that DSE can't be a scorer!!!! Have you DSE play? He's a natural born scorer! Ay ay ay...

You can't compare DA and Woods. DA was a great scorer in high school but had knee problems. Unless I'm wrong he had other offers, but always wanted to play for the Braves.

If you think stats don't lie, read page D2 of the PJS today.

That's not stats lying. That's a copy-editor not doing their job.

Come on man, DA was a shooter when he did walk on from high school! He had a full ride he turned down at the academy to come to BU and pursue his childhood dream! As far as JL giving him more time than any other coach, your entitled to your opinion but I think JL knew he got a deal with DA as a walk on and it did prove out! JL did award DA a scholarship in his last two years, I believe. He also is tied for the most 3's made in one game at BU, 7, I think. Your accounts of who's ready for D1 Ball is just that As for DSE, where's it at And yes I have seen every home game and some away that he has played in! I happen to like his play and don't need someone like you to try and turn it around, as you do to so many posters on here, with things you do not agree with Just how many have you seen him play in and for that matter, how many BU games have you seen since he started playing at BU NONE, I Bet I bet you give nothing to the Program, but your two cents and its not worth that Also your smart mouth attacks, cheap shots, on other posters like the ones yesterday are uncalled for and show the type of person you must be Try coming back to see a game, hell I will buy a ticket for you and then you can make a true evaluation of whats really happening on the court and with BU BB Oh, if you don't like my post, don't read them

Real Fan I agree with you about our big men not getting any better.That is why I don't understand why we got another big man project with our last ride instead of a point gaurd or a shooting guard.I guess we will have a bench full of projects next year.

C'Man. I was being sarcastic. I don't care who's not doing their job, I know we're not shooting 33% from the line and 68% on 3's, so the stats are wrong. They lied.

I would contend that Woods is no joke. He was a good high school player who, given time, might be an adequate fill-in at PG for BU. Unfortunately, time is not really on his side; 3 games left until conference play.

From Woods' bio: "A second-team all-state pick as a senior in 2007-08 when he averaged 21 ppg, 5 apg and 5 spg ... A three-time all-conference honoree in the St. Louis Public High League, garnering honorable mention status as a sophomore, second-team notice as a junior and first-team honors as a senior."

All we'd really expect and want out of Charron is to handle the ball without turnovers, and the only turnover he's been whistled for in two games now is that bogus palming call in the 1st half last game..but then the refs gave us a makeup similar call against them shortly thereafter...

He did palm the ball but then several other players did but were not called for it, when a player hesitates and the ball does also it is a palm or a carry, the refs were not bad sat. night.
Charron does a good job and would be a bigger asset to the team if we had more scorers, unfortunately when he comes in it hurts this team because now you add one more to the mix that does not score.
That is why I have a hard time seeing Jake and A.T. on the floor at the same time because they do not score, wonder why Jake has not been the shooter we expected to see at BU as at 6-4 he needs to be able to make outside shots at this level of play, thought he was going to contribute a lot more this season because of the way he finished last year but then maybe his injury is still effecting him on the court.

All right, if you want to get personal I will. I went to 4 BU games last year, have tickets for 4 games this year and and have missed 2 games on B.TV the last 2 years. Before that I saw every home game but 1 during my 4 years at BU despite being the founding president of a fraternity, an RA, working two jobs for total of 50 hours per week, and getting an engineering degree and a business administration minor in 4 years. Not too mention I saw 3 of DSE's games in high school. I don't turn anything around, I stated my opinion just as you did so take your cr@p and shove it.

Finally, not that its any of your business but in addition to paying for tickets, and B.TV I give $50 a paycheck to BU, that equivocates to $1300 a year, and my company matches it for a total of $2600 annually. Show me another 23 year-old that can and does give anywhere near that.

You are now the one and only poster here for whom I have absolutely ZERO respect.

Oh, I know. But did you see the one I responded to? And I didn't attack him at all. Just responded to his personal assault on me. Come on now, at least give me as long as that one lasted

You have gone to 4 years of BU games and donate money, you are entitled to an opinion but please don"t act like you are an expert about Bradley basketball, I have been going since the Joe Stowell era followed by D.Versace,S.Albeck,J.Molinari and now Jim Les, Versace and Stowell were the 2 best coaches that I have witnessed on the hilltop because they both were good offensive and defensive coaches, Albeck good offense terrible defense, MO great defense bad offense, Les started out good offense fair defense and now has turned into strictly defensive oriented, I have also witnessed in person some of the best high school coaches in Ron Ferguson, Sherrill Hanks, Dawdy Hawkins, Duncan Reid, Jerry Leggett, Chuck Buescher and many more that I could name, I think every one of these guys could do a better job then our last 3 coaches in my opinion.

Now it's a p-ssing contest regarding donations and age. Oh my. I'm staying out of this one!

I'm not! I was attacked and defended myself, thats it. lol

[Braves4Life]

Y........Versace and Stowell were the 2 best coaches that I have witnessed on the hilltop .....

My two favorites as well. I absolutely loved and adored Stowell (no homo ). In my opinion he is one of the best pure coaches and leaders of men anywhere and of all time.
