Maybe someone from here should have been the coach we should have hired?

I'm available.

Our slow guards couldn't keep anyone out of the paint last year, which kept our bigs in constant foul trouble.

And that issue has seemingly been addressed in the offseason.

I should have been university president.

Are McCoy and Reynolds walk-ons?

I believe McCoy has received a scholarship for this season.

No offense, but it doesn't seem to take much to be university president these days. You are probably over qualified.

Tweet from Steve Irvine:

Only watched about an hour of 1st UAB basketball practice. Saw enough to think that Scootie Bryant should be 1 of top frosh in C-USA.

Be shocked if Norton doesn't start. Hard to be sixth man of year as starter. Think Norton and Scootie could both start. Think Sullivan has a chance to be sixth man of the year.

That's cool but I don't see it. Not saying it couldn't happen.

Would like to see Nick come off the bench with Darling as shooting backcourt. Having Norton out there alone could stop rapid substitutions. Actually allow a true second unit to form with maybe Lew, Mak, and Thomas( maybe Hurtado).

Having lineup issues i.e. too much talent is like having too much money or too many girls calling you.

Good problems!

Norton will start barring another injury. Sullivan as sixth man OTY. busch is spot on as usual.

Hater as usual.

Doesn't mean it will work or pan out but anyways.


Looks like
Lee,Gueye,Sullivan,Perry,Norton, Bryant, Reynolds all wore green in a practice vid could be our top six guys.

Eshan seems to be trying to be a friend to these guys, rather than a true coach. What's the over/under on the number of technical fouls Cokley gets due to his mouth?

I do not disagree with this assessment. There were definitely some discipline issues last year, and Cokley displayed the hot-head more than any. I hope he figures out as he heads into his senior year that no one is impressed, that he is a better player and we are a better team when he comes to work without an attitude.

I hope that last season was one of growing pains for Ehsan, that he has learned some lessons from a hard year, and that he is ready to be the coach we thought he could be when he was hired.

Having an attitude is what this team needs. They also need self control, but having a chip on your shoulder might be what turns this team around. I think too many players had "good" attitudes after losing last year.
