Dane96, how do you assume I know nothing about X's and O's? I played for national AAU teams for the City Rocks, I learned more of the game in college from the same person who taught Brown over at Saint Rose Brian Beaury. To just assume I don't know squat about the game because I don't discuss it over dinner with CB is just wrong. No I'm not Coach K or Bobby Knight or CB for that matter but it's not like I've never picked up the rock before in my life and just like flapping my gums..

 

Ok...so...you played for the City Rocks and learned from Brian Beury. Number one...Brian definitely gave some awesome insight to Will; hell Will's married to his family member. That said, I think Coach didnt learn the entire game from Brian. SO again, you exaggerate. Two...are you stating you played at St. Rose? If you played for either the City Rocks (which, most AAU teams dont play all that much defense...and I too played a national AAU schedule) and St. Rose...it is clear that:

 

A) you didnt learn a thing; or

you just act dumb about the X's and O's because you know if put to the test in an argument about a Coach you hate (WILL) and use X's and O's for facts...your argument would be much weaker, if not altogether fail.

 

So...which is it: DID YOU REALLY PLAY AND ARE ACTING DUMB; DID YOU REALLY PLAY AND LEARN NOTHING; or DID YOU REALLY NOT PLAY.

 

You have been asked basic basketball questions on the Times Union board and you never ever answer them. It's not just me...it's Siena fans that call you out as well.

 

SO WHICH IS IT....

 

...or, much more simply put, did you just take a "Coaching Basketball Course" at St. Rose (if they have that there), which basically teaches kids how to coach at the AAU level (basic motion, Flex, Open, etc. offenses...).

 

 

You say people ask me basketball questions, yet there is no question just a basic rant. What question would you like me to answer for you?

 

2) I never said I played at St. Rose, I said I learned the game from him. I didn't say Brown learned everything from Beaury but he was an assistant coach on some very successful basketball teams. I know Brown coached at some JUCO school and probably played a little college ball himself. I was insisting that he learned everything about the game from one man but there you go again with your assumptions.

 

So again, what basketball question would you like me to answer for you specifically?

Coach Browns JUCO teams were some of the highest scoring teams in the country if memory serves....is that right?

[Dane96]

Thank you Bosiydid for pointing out facts. This is a foreign concept to Big Dog.

 

In fact, his Sullivan team averaged like 88 pts a game.

[Clickclack]

One of the reasons I have faith that they will turn it around....what, did he completely forget how to coach the O? I'm not happy where we are at right now, I'm sure he isn't either but it's only been a couple of games.....I'd like to see some progress this home stand.

Talking about Gifford starting.....

 

He should Spell Lindfors, Urli and McRae - BigDog

 

How can you possibly put Lindfors and Urli ahead of Gifford if they haven't done anything yet. Scottie is OK - if he knows what the team is trying to do. Lindfors in 18 mpg has hoisted the 3rd most shots on the team and is shooting 19% overall and 10% from 3.

 

Urli hurt his ankle early in the Syracuse and limped in that game and hasn't been seen since.

 

You just can't throw names out there. It gives you no credibility if you don't have any substance to your post.

 

We need solid performances from Harris, Ambrose and Johnson and then have others step up on given nights until someone shows some consistency offensively and defensively. That could be almost anyone on the roster from Watts to Urli.

 

The key is to get consistency from our main 3 and let the rest sort themselves out or in.

Again no question? and yes so foreign to me because I brought up the point he coached that Juco team...

Lindfors will find his stroke again he did sit out a year last season. I'm just not big on Gifford, I'm not an effort guy, I'm a results guy. Effort for Giff A+, results, F. He's a liability on offense and a good defender you have to take the good with the bad, that's why I'm saying having him spell guys who pose more of a threat on offense in Urli, Lindfors, McRae. UA's defense isn't much more improved with Giff on the floor nor does it fall off so much when he's not out there.

Oh g-d you just keep digging a hole for yourself.

 

1- So you learned the game from Beaury in a Coaching Class? If so...not much is gained but book knowledge if anything as I stated in my previous post.

2- If it was not a class...did you carry his coffee for him?

3- Coached Brown played a little college? Hmmmm...he actually played at Penn (you know that really good IVY school) and only transferred to Dowling (where he was a stud) because of a stomach disorder. If you really followed Coach's history prior to your rants you would know this-- well documented. In fact, he played a little ball so well that I think Notre Dame really wanted him (that part I am unsure of...because I dont carry coffee for coaches).

4- Will learned a little about the game from his father...who was a very good high school coach that could probably run strategy circles around my head.

 

Now, back to the questions...you know EXACTLY the questions that was asked of you on the Times Union board multiple times by multiple people. You answered none of them.

I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and assume BigDog/DDS/Jeff (and now YO DAMIEN) is a big fan of the DH...

[Patch]

I'm just not big on Gifford, I'm not an effort guy, I'm a results guy.- Big Dog

 

I hate to say it but Giff has produced much better results then Jake or Urli so far.

 

When guys start producing then lobby for them to get more time.

 

I like Tartt but I think he needs time to start producing and EARNING minutes.

Yet you can't come up with a single one that was asked? It's more of just arm chair coaches like Mick and Yourself who think your god's gift to basketball because you play golf with the coaches. I'll still be waiting for one of these basketball questions that I cannot answer. As far as Beaury is concerned no he doesn't teach a class on basketball and no I didn't carry his coffee. I have a little bit more inside information on his tactics and play calls than you could ever imagine, Brown should go back to Beaury's style of basketball.

 

Where the hell is Dowling? Never heard of it..and a "stomach disorder" makes you transfer to a different college? So every player that gets sick transfers out? Must have been something more than a "stomach disorder", that prevented him from playing at Penn but didn't stop him at Dowling..

[Big Dog]

I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and assume BigDog/DDS/Jeff (and now YO DAMIEN) is a big fan of the DH...

 

 

I am not YO DAMIEN for the record. The other 3 yes indeed. My name is Jeff, nice to meet you all. The pleasure is all mine.

[Phoenix]

I am not YO DAMIEN for the record.

 

Ok..

[bob87]

 

Where the hell is Dowling? Never heard of it

 

 

Then look it up, idiot.

[Big Dog]

I am not YO DAMIEN for the record.

 

Ok..

 

 

I'm not, ask the mods or the man yourself. If I were I'd admit it, I didn't shy away from DDS, Big Dog or Jeff, why would that be any different.
