I will be posting my rough transcript the night of the broadcast focusing on my questions, the team and their last and next games and then a second post the next day on other things that were discussed.

MY QUESTIONS/COMMENTS

1st Hour: "Coach, John Gillon seems to have a lot of trouble scoring on his drives to the basket. About once a game he’ll dish to another player and that player will usually score easily. If he looks to dish more, won’t he not only get more assists but also more baskets because the defense will have to pay more attention to the other players?


2nd Hour: "Coach, is DaIuan Coleman’s career essentially over? How good a player could he have been on healthy knees? “

"Coach, is DaIuan Coleman’s career essentially over?"

but the coach said when asked just last week that dajuan was available to play . you expect an honest answer ?

I give you a lot of credit for your dedication to the radio show. I'm not sure how many people listen to it on a regular basis but you might have more people read your recaps than actual listeners. Thanks for the hard work recapturing the conversations.

I'm not sure JAB even has an answer to your Gillon question. This is a coaching staff loaded with guards. From great point guards like Autry to great shooters like GMAC, to great hustlers like Hop, to a great "player opposing fans love to hate" in Devo and even JAB himself who played guard in the jump ball era. That's what has to be the most puzzling that they can't get through to either Gillon or Howard for them to be successful. And yet Gillon has two pretty good games in a row vs Miami and Pitt where it looked like he turned the corner where he had 11 assists both games and scored a total of 28 pts. But what happened after that. Why did he look so good, like a 5th year senior should. I wish JAB knew that answer.

Yes. I've been getting them for years.

I'd ask him what we can reasonably expect from Coleman for the rest of the season. He probably won't answer your first Coleman question as you've worded it, and frankly he shouldn't answer it.

 

[Dave85]

What was the most satisfying win this season so far and what was the most disappointing loss and why?

Where do you buy the gigantic shirts you wear to the games?

You're probably right, that's a better way to put it.
