Message: [QUOTE="DomeStranger, post: 131681, member: 562"] Those post 2003 years were tough. Those 2004 & 2005 recruits just never panned out. 2 straight classes of guys who couldn't catch or handle the ball. I can just think of how many passes for easy 2 point dunks sailed though Roberts/Watkins hands. How many dribbles bounced off McCroskey/Nichols feet. Finishing a game with 20 turnovers was pretty much par, it was amazing they competed as well as they did. Gerry had to put the team on his back many nights and had to learn to only throw "soft" passes to his teammates. Since those frustrating years I think the coaching staff learned number one priority for a /C is that he has to know how to catch the ball. They learned those years you cannot teach someone how to catch a basketball no matter how hard you try. [/QUOTE]
