I would normally agree, but since part of the argument here has been that he is not a good enough shooter to demand to be guarded, I don't think it matters who he makes them against. Does it matter if it is a D3 team leaving him wide open vs a D1 team leaving him wide open?

Come on coach! It's not like they are a middle school or something. ODU has recently raided teams like that for some much needed inside talent ... Guys like Biberaj (CNU) and Vassor (Hampden-Sydney). I'm just playing with you. I get your point. Randy did still have to make the shots though.
Vassor gave us some very valuable minutes against JMU in our last game. I said coming into this season that Vassor was going to be called upon (as a walk-on) to play some meaningful minutes this season, and it has already happened. It is probably good for him that he is graduating after this season. With the 3 or 4 big guys that ODU is looking to bring in next year who knows how it would have worked out for him if he had another year.

If you were giving him open looks from 3 by not covering him out there, I'm pretty sure he would be shooting much higher than 25% against you.
Besides that, ... you have stated on the boards several times, (I'm paraphrasing here) "people act as if players can't or don't improve from year to year". Two games into this season is much too small of a sample size to make shooting judgements yet regarding how a player will perform this season. They are still learning their own roles as well as how to work together with their teammates. Caver for example missed most of the shots he took from both the field and the line against Towson. Is he going to be a 20% shooter this year? Also, how poorly did B.J. shoot in the first 5 - 10 games last season before he got things figured out?
Not basing off two games but the number of games at ODU. Could he have the potential to be a good shooter? Possibly. Does that me he is a good shooter?
If you are basing off of the total number of games he has played at ODU instead of the 2 games thus far this season then you are including yourself among those that you have called out in the past for "not believing that players can improve".
If you are asking me if that (whatever 'that' is) means he is a good shooter, then I would answer that it is too soon this season to tell. I suspect that he will be at or above 30% from 3 by the end of the season, and most likely above.
As someone pointed out, Randy hit 5 of 9 from the 3 point line in the recent exhibition game. In any league, and at any level, that is very strong 3 point shooting in one of only about 4 or 5 games against outside competition that he has played in thus far this season with ODU even if it didn't count in the standings.
Ive never said he cannot improve. Im saying there is no evidence he has so far.
What about the fact that he is shooting 38% through 3 games?
We'v played 2 games....huh?
Edit, are you using practice? Oh my.

To be fair, you did say that teams shouldn't guard him. An argument could be made that scoring on DIII players is harder than scoring against nobody. ;-)

True and when one of those guys start posting on this board, you’re argument will have some validity. Unless of course your point was that posters on this board are on the same level as those mentioned because they didn’t play college ball

Nice point there Coach.
I'm sure that a bunch of current and former college basketball coaches could also be named that did play college ball, but were not very good coaches. Just goes to show that like most things in life, it's what you do when you get there, not how you arrived.
Yup because a guy who coaches at the D1 level and didn’t play on the collegiate level has the same basketball IQ of The posters on this board who neither played nor coached on the collegiate level

You don’t know me. Maybe I’m Bobby Knight. I was simply refuting your point that you have to have played college basketball to know anything.
Can we get back to discussing Randy? He has certainly improved his game and I love his aggression, but I really hope he can start knocking down jumpers for us, because he could make us a very good team.

Here you go, Giles. This should explain it. I guess you missed it the first time.

No no no. I'd rather call this thread useless, then derail the aforementioned useless thread further by arguing about who is and isn't allowed to have an opinion on the useless thread based on experience nobody can prove.

Uhhhh remember when certain posters were ready to declare sam Harris and Anton Larsen all CAA based on practice and one scrimmage, because I sure do.
Look how that turned out. You are what your stats say you are.
We are a mediocre offensive team and a slightly above average defensive team. Literally nothing about that has changed much in 5 years under Jeff. Or for the last 2 decades really. We brought in Blaine Taylor-lite and were promised some different system that never materialized. Some seem fine with it. Stockholm syndrome is a *****.

That is a shame to hear, although I figured he would have other unrelated troubles by now. He clearly had many opportunities to clear his “issues” at ODU before he was dismissed.
