RE: Last Chance: ONE Prediction next EMU MBB HC
One final thought. Sorry for those not selected. We had a really, really good group. CMU (and maybe WMU, next year) would be well advised to consider them.

What made the group so great were their ties to EMU, MAC, S.E. MI, etc. We didn't need to go across country (like NIU) to get a coach without ties to our university, state or conference.

Hey we can all agree to disagree from time to time but every poster I see here loves EMU and,wants only good things to happen sports or otherwise to the school. THAT is what makes this a great and fun board. I love intelligent discussion about sports and you will not find,a more knowledgeable group than we have here. Now about the,Tigers hitting.......

And kudos to RamyEMU and myself. We got Heath right but didn't predict a date.

A few others mentioned Heath in a if not he then Heath type statement.

Lest I be wrong only 3 posters were unequivocal on Heath.

If you only wanted an alum and no one from WMU, Kent State, or other places, I think you won. Green and white crusaders unite! Now let's all do the important thing: BUY SEASON TICKETS.

Bob, are you buying Heath bars? They're good.

Hot rumor on the Internet. BobW will fly from Iowa to DTW (check flightaware for details) for the first home game. 03-lmfao

He'll be in the atrium with enough Heath bars for the first 5,000 EMU fans dressed in EMU green. 02-13-banana

RE: Last Chance: ONE Prediction next EMU MBB HC
This was the thread to end all threads for the EMU MBB HC search circa 2021.

RamyEMU and I got the candidate, Heath, right early. '79 came in a little later and predicted Heath on April 12.

Did I miss Luckeyone? Or did he not make a selection?

I think I wanted the Ferris State coach and definitely Heath should resign because he’s not coaching the team to play team ball on offense and teaching defensive fundamentals.

Since the first game against Toledo I think our defense has improved compared with the first 2/3 of the season. I didn't say it was outstanding and it lapses from time to time (ie Buffalo) but overall its the main reason why EMU is playing more competitive basketball.

Would agree Toledo had a horrible night shooting but more than made up for it by cleaning up the glass for second effort shots. This happens consistently every game. Honestly Getter gets lost out there on defense many times. Randle needs more experience. Both are foul prone.

I have a lot of hope for those two in the future. This is just their first year playing on the floor, and big men usually take time to develop particularly at the MAC level (Ball St’s Sparks being a rare exception to that). Billingsley too has been improving all year- not sure why his minutes dropped off these last couple games. We might have a decent frontcourt in a year or two.

I was surprised to see Getter start vs. Billingsley. I think we are better off on defense with Billingsley.

Statistically, all EMU players perform terrible defensively. I attribute that more to Heath's defensive system and not teaching proper techniques commensurate with individual player's skill-set rather than the players themselves.

Surprisingly, Ballard is EMU's only big who's overall rating is very good, and Heath hardly plays him. One can only surmise that Heath is building for the future since EMU is a young team. If so, not a wise decision as fans want wins now, not next season.

Getter and Randle are statistically better than both Billingsley and Jihad when one combines their offense and defensive ratings that are quite underwater, the negative margin is nowhere near as wide as Billingsley and Jihad are. This is mainly due to Getter and Randle being more proficient offensively although both don't have good offensive ratings to begin with.

Except for Ballard, excessive turnovers kill the bigs on the offensive end, and excessive fouls kill all the bigs on the defensive end.

Ironically, but for Jihad, all other EMU bigs shoot well. It's their high rate of turnovers and fouls that keep them off the court. See Eastern Michigan Men's bb Sports Reference, this season, 100 possessions stats, conference play.
