There were times when we fed Rick like crazy last year.  Especially when we really needed to get a bucket.  Arinze should have gotten the ball more.  Coleman has some Arinze in his game except he can hit free throws.  Maybe Arinze wasn't as featured because of his FT deficiency.  Arinze also wasnt a great passer.

The '05 team also fed the post like crazy.  Warrick posted up all the time.  On his way to being a first team AA.  Force feeding Warrick in the post vs. Vermont led to 11 Warrick TOs and an upset.  If we got a guy down there who can score, I think we get him post touches.

Maybe it has as much to do with the personnel around the post player.  In '05 it was Warrick and Gerry on O and thats pretty much it.  But I do think if we have a dominant post presence we will utilize it.  Anyone knows if you can slam inside 15-20 times a game and get points or easy kick outs you do it.

It surprises me that we never give Fab the ball in the post.  He works to get position, gets open and gets looked off.  I know he has a tendency to be a spaz when he gets the ball but he is a really good passer and it could help open some other things up.  Just not gonna happen I guess.

I believe that Coleman's skill set will translate well.  He'll get buckets.  He'll get to the line.  JB has been drooling over this kid for years.  I think we'll utilize him effectively.
