I recall at the time he was here that it seemed to me that UALR and Coach Shield's system was not the best fit for Muldrow.

I think most anyone who has UALR under Porter and Steve, would agree that it's not a system for guys that can shoot. Really, I haven't seen much of an offensive system here other than get the ball into the post. Anyone disagree with this thinking?

There is nothing wrong with Steve's system if you have big men who are real scorers. With that said, probably the most difficult players to recruit at our level or big men who have offensive skills. We find some wide bodies who can bang around, do some rebounding and play some defense, but I can't remember any who could put up a lot of points on a consistent basis.

Our strength would seem to be in recruiting the 6 foot to 6'4" players, since there are many more of them from which to choose. So a system that is more conducive to an up and down game would be more suited to our talent pool. So basically we've been attempting to put square pegs in round holes for many years, and surprisingly we've done pretty well. Just think of how well we could do if we played an offense that allowed us to recruit athletes to take a sufficient number of shots that would be attractive to good shooters and up and down the court type players.

Sorry LRT. You asked what time it was, and I responded by telling how to build a watch.

Yes there is something wrong with our system. First of all, we seldom have bigs that can score, and we don't run screens and picks for our shooter(when we have one)to get open shots. I don't need to know how to build a watch. Timex has taken care of that for me. I just want a coach who can build a team that can score.
