I think they got most of them right...
(1) US COVID-19 statistics (February 29, 2020-June 16, 2020): 2,124,000 reported cases and 115,052 deaths
(2) Donald Trump (June 15, 2020) told a group of senior citizens that there would be very few cases of COVID-19 if the US stopped its testing and contact tracing: "If we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases, actually."
(3) Donald Trump [(Jan 20, 2020), when asked if he's worried about a pandemic]: “No. Not at all. And we have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s — going to be just fine.”
Hinson never had a first-team all-conference player at SIU.
Congrats to Armon, Kavion, and Sean!
That First Team makes the term "guard oriented league" look weak for the Valley!
That's a pretty tall first team!

This simply proves that he is a lousy recruiter. A lousy recruiter who is also a bad coach will never make the NCAA tourney. BH proves it year in and year out.
I'm not sayin' -- I'm just sayin'!

I'm not saying this to defend Hinson, but Anthony Beane was first-team all-conference in 2016. And Fletcher was robbed: there is no way DaSilva should be there instead of Fletcher.
EDIT: Maybe Fletcher was left off the first team because of his off-the-court problem?
(Inflammatory political snark)

My mistake. Thanks for the correction!
Fletcher was the 2nd leading scorer in the league, 3rd in offensive RBs. He should have been 1st team. Pippen should have been 2nd team. Led the league in blocked shots.

DaSilva over Fletcher is a travesty. My guess is that Fletcher got demoted because of the suspension--being a "bad teammate" and therefore not worthy of first-team honors. I don't agree with it in this case, but I understand.

It was up to Coach Hinson to advocate for his player... or not.
