We're not resorting to a whole team of big men (Barnes), or fast athletes that are coached to shoot the ball (Purnell) and then players who just really weren't that good in any aspect (Shyatt). Our lack tonight of just solid underneath player is killing us (I think. I'm not coach).

Re: I think the growth is that we are finally seeing actual


Jan 26, 2014, 8:03 PM

When will the actual payoff be though? Last year all I remember hearing was how Brownell couldn't be blamed for how bad we were because Blossomgame and Coleman weren't playing. This year, Blossomgame hasn't been any kind of scoring sensation and Coleman has been run off. I'm ready for us to have at least one guy who is a shooter. Right now we have none, and even if Coleman could have been that guy, he didn't have good enough D to play for Brownell.

Obviously I'm no BB coach and Brownell knows way more than me, but he might be better served if he were to get at least one guy that is a shooter and play him, even if his D isn't up to snuff.
