IU Basketball is ruining my life... - Nubblies.net Forums

JoshuaLong · 02-19-2004, 01:15 AM

I hate it. I can't stand anymore home losses. I can't stand watching them anymore. What the hell?! We suck. Now we have no chance of making the Big Dance unless we win the Big 10 tourney.

I'm gonna have a heartattack, develope an ulcer or just plain kill somebody if this keeps up.

VOL · 02-19-2004, 01:20 AM

I think the problem doesn't lie within Mike Davis as Shaw suggests. I think the problem is not getting the ball to the key players. Everyone seems so in to getting the ball to ONE person that they overlook the other key shooters. And defense wouldn't be so bad if they played it once in a while. Maybe they should try and play more as a team, that's what I see wrong with them. Look hard next time they play. I know they have many more problems than this, but this is my opinion of what should be corrected in Assembly Hall.

JoshuaLong · 02-19-2004, 01:28 AM

Maybe they should get one, just ONE, inside player that is worth a crap.

Leech is as dumb as a rock.
Kline is stiff as a board...and consequently he got injured.
Roberts is quite possibly the worst basketball player in the history of Indiana University.
Ewing Jr. has promise, I guess, but he has poor hands and averages 4 fouls a minute.

There you have it, IU's interior play...

Don't forget 6'2" Moye, our rebounding expert.

JoshuaLong · 02-19-2004, 01:31 AM

We need Shawn Kemp.

VOL · 02-19-2004, 01:32 AM

Leech just needs motivation.

You're right about Kline and Roberts pretty much.

I said it from the beginning that Ewing Jr. is over rated. His dad is the only reason anyone is on the kid's wagon. I for one think he will be a hack in his years at IU. You fellas need more Braceys, Moyes, and guys from previous years like Coverdale and Jefferies.

He's only been playing Basketball for 4 years, he's not physically or mentally tough yet, and he's allready a fine dunker and shot blocker... I think he will be a fine addition to the IU Basketball team with time, give the kid a chance.

I just think there is more talent that should be focused on that's all.

Thanks for making my point...who's fault is it that they dont get the ball where it should go???? Whos fault is it that they dont play a DAMN bit of defense??? Who's fault is it that they dont have post players...all goes to mike davis...also...with 2 minutes to go the ball gets tipped out and Bracey throws up a 3....then with 38 sec. mike davis draws up a great play....a 3 point shot with 3 sec. to go...horrible...shoot with no time on the clock.....then after 2 made FT...a full court pass to a 3....with 3 sec. that is time for 2 dribbles a shot or 1 dribble pass and shot....Davis is a fucking idiot...he is a thought....RECRUIT SOME TALENT IN THE STATE...Knight did....Indiana is the best basketball state in the counrty, yet he goes and gets some fuckin pre-madonna's that take 30 shots a fucking game....how about you play as a team...like i saw wake play tonight...Noone that plays for IU could hold Chris Paul's Jock....Even though i think kline would love that....IU basketball has hit an all time low and until davis is out they wont get back to where they were....BRING IN STEVE ALFRED...i suggest everyone visit www.firemikedavis.com Best site in the world right now!!!

JoshuaLong · 02-19-2004, 03:06 AM

Come on, Shaw...bring in Alfred? What's the logic in that? Why does everyone say that? Sure, it'd be like, nostalgic, or something.

Personally I'm not a huge fan of Davis. I think he was doing a great job though before he got moved to head coach, which is a shame, because no matter what he's not gonna go from head coach to a lesser position again.

Maybe we should get Al Rhodes to coach for us.

Cocktooth · 02-19-2004, 03:16 AM

Um yeah Steve Alford...Former IU basketball player...Played under Knight...will recruit IN STATE TALENT...and finally be a team again instead of 5 individuals...come on now long.....i know yo uknow bball...i mean didnt i teach you anything in aau?

Cocktooth · 02-19-2004, 03:17 AM

and i agree...coach rhodes should be the coach...he is the best coach this state has ever seen....Ryan Culp couldnt be his water boy...haha JP man..i like culp...i think he is a solid young coach!!!

JoshuaLong · 02-19-2004, 03:58 AM

Yeah, Culp was tight...seems like he gets a lot of crap though.

Of course I know WHO Alford is, I just wonder why it seems everyone is fixated on getting him. I suppose it would be kinda cool though.

I do agree about the instate talent thing. Served us right when we got our asses handed to us by Brody Boyd and Iowa.

Saint DH · 02-19-2004, 04:17 AM

They won't fire Mike Davis b/c he is black, sorry to say it folks.

JoshuaLong · 02-19-2004, 04:21 AM

...wow, that's almost reasonable.

Pliedes · 02-19-2004, 06:17 AM

They need to hire Al Rhodes. I'm going to start petitioning now...

Cocktooth · 02-19-2004, 10:39 AM

Long, Is Morningdud still with Zolman???

I'll put my signature on that one. He'll do better than what he is doing at Logansport right now. I'm also going to start an Al Rhodes Fan Club. Anyone else in?

Cocktooth · 02-19-2004, 01:13 PM

FUCK YOU VOL....And i dont mean that in a nice way...If you knew anything about coach rhodes or his logansport team you would know that thier 5-13 record means shit, because they are starting 2 sophomore's and a junior...you would also know their 6'8" soph who will end up going going d1....What that means to tiny basketball minds like yourself is they are very very young...and you might say to yourself...that doesnt mean anything..they still arent any good...let me drop this on you...in 1982 Coach Rhodes went 3-20...On that team he started a freshmen by the name of Jeff Grose ( Best damn gov. teacher ever) and Soph. Marty Lehman....yeah if you walk into the tiger den you see a State Championship banner from 1984...that is what building a program and building a championship is all about....Logansport in 4 years will be a very good program and basketball team...mark my words!!!!

VOL · 02-19-2004, 01:18 PM

You take offense to every comment. Get off the uptight pills man. The main point I was making was that I'm starting a fan club for Al. Maybe you should stop taking offense, read a little more, go to classes and while you're there learn how to properly structure a post. Include periods, commas, and capital letters. It helps.

JoshuaLong · 02-19-2004, 02:04 PM

Nah, Morning"dud" (hahaha) is with some other chick now. Rumor has it Morningstar transfered to some Tennessee school to be closer to Zolman, and as soon as he did she broke it off with him. So now he is at IUPUI (not playing ball) because of some new chick. Who knows though...

About Rhodes, yeah as much as I hated him because I went and played at Concord, you still gotta respect him. He's a genuine basketball genius.

Cocktooth · 02-19-2004, 07:59 PM

yeah he is....you got any ties with zolman???? you should hook a brother up man...SHE HAS BECOME AMAZINGLY HOT

vol : This isnt class....I will use what kind of punctuation that i want...is that ok....franly it doesnt matter if you say its ok or not...and your comment he would do better then he is now at logansport was a knock on the program he is building there...as i remember you have no idea what tiger basketball was all about so i figured i would give you some insight....oh sorry....i forgot my commas..my bad...

In a strange way I agree with you.

It's good to see Notre Dame basketball has low expectations and we don't need to have websites that urge the firing of Mike Brey.

Yeah you just have websites for your football coaches, and signed letters from your alumni association warning the coach to do good next year or else he is gone.
