Petar Majstorovic transferring to Long Beach St

[pearl31]

And with McLeod there was definitely a health issue factored in

To keep guys like him, you have to play your bench consistently. That was one of Autry's biggest failings last year, IMO.

I think we played too many guys, frankly. You need to develop consistency. I don’t want JB’s old 6-7 man rotation, but I’d rather have 8, maybe 9, key guys. That’s ideal. Ultimately, though, we just need better players.

When guys are letting the opponent dribble right by them and straight to the rim, then I think that guy needs to sit down. And almost every guy on the team last year was guilty of that, so I don't see how you reward guys who don't play defense by NOT taking them out.

Yep, when it costs them playing time, it tends to become more of a priority.

 

[Jasoncuse]

Yeah, he's the one guy who got to play. What about McLeod and Cuffe not seeing any time until January? What about Donnie and Choppa playing in first halves, and then not getting back in?

You think we can explain his playing time and substitution patterns, when Red can't even do that?!!?

 

[tbonezone]

what the final curtain ?

guess no encore from the MAESTRO.

 

[PeteCalvin]

From here on out, I’ll be spelling Peter the normal way again.

Red was horrible at substitutions last year. The worst I have ever seen. I could never figure out what the heck he was thinking or trying to accomplish.

He was really good at icing a hot shooter...

[kirbivore]

That's too bad.

Kid had potential, sorry to see this.

 

[albanycuse]

where’s he going honestly? Definitely downgrading conferences.

Of course, but you only need 8 really good players to do that. A guard, forward and center sub. JB pulled guys all the time for poor defense and only played 7-8 max.

Honestly Red was horrific at almost all aspects of coaching last year. I can’t think of a single positive he brings to the program as HC. Just don’t think he has a clue how to lead our program with all the headwinds were currently facing

So...you're on the fence with Red?

 

[PhatOrange]

Kid was arguably the most fundamentally sound player on the team.

 

[Newhouser]

Kid was arguably the most fundamentally sound player on the team.

Agree, but that was not a bar that required a great vertical to clear.

 

[jgeorge322]

I don’t consider ramming into offensive players at crucial moments to be fundamentally sound. Or to set moving screens over and over again.

That said, I could see him turning into a decent player but he was no Marek.

 

[PhatOrange]

Agree, but that was not a bar that required a great vertical to clear.

Which speaks to how bad the coaching staff is. Petar actually came in with fundamentals.

 

[Dinkyspond]

yes...our own hot shooter, go on a heater, then take him out, SMH...

 

[cusefan88]

 

[RF2044]

Good for him [weather wise].

Sorry to see him go, to be honest. Oh well.

Same

 

[Hopkins16]

He will fare well at Long Beach then maybe get a chance to compete again at a higher level school.

 

[PhatOrange]

Great decision. Get a free education to play hoops in Long Beach, CA.
