I hate those ****s. This better be the last time Howland loses to these asshats at the Hump period. We will have 2x the talent of them next year and they lose Saiz who is a big time loss for them so they really won't have an inside game. No more excuses starting next year.
Quick question. If this team had actually played some zone this year, would those close losses to teams like South Carolina, Florida, and Ole Miss become wins? I think they do IMO because A) Florida and Ole Miss were struggling quite a bit however when they needed a bucket they would just dribble drive us to an uncontested layup and B) Maybe we don't get so many fouls called because we are actually clogging up the lane instead of being out of position and fouling as a result. Also, you could have Holman patrol the middle of it and just tell him to challenge shots like Swat did in the zones we used with Stansbury. Zones are poor in rebounding the ball however we suck at that in man to man anyway so no big woop IMO. Howland's stubborness to only play man to man is stupid IMO and puts us at a disadvantage with the new rules. If he is uncomfortable teaching a zone then hire a badass assistant that can teach zone.
