Breaking news: fans on message board speculate on rotations for their favorite team
I hope to see Scottie and Cade get a lot of minutes. Their contrasting skill sets is a luxury we should exploit and could be an issue for other teams.
Really no worse than people that say, "Well the coach is at practice don't you think he knows better?"yes never lost a gameI love all the bleacher seat coaches
We ARE the best coaches, doncha know!!
If that were the case coaches would never be fired. Coaches would just always be right.
Coaches do not always know better than the "bleacher seat coaches".
So yes, news flash, coaches are incorrect at times, sometimes downright awful. Then get fired.
To claim that bleacher coaches know more than some real coaches is silly. Yes coaches get fired but most “ bleacher coaches “ haven’t played, studied or ever spent a min on the floor coaching. Sorry, not buyin it. There are good and bad college coaches but virtually all of them have forgotten more basketball than any “ bleacher coach” ever knew. And it’s not to say fans don’t have correct opinions and that coaches don’t make mistakes but the statement is silly.
I love this board
@dirtydale Talked to a big-time Illini basketball follower at a golf tournament this weekend. He follows all the blogs and info sources he can find. He told me that there is considerable talk of using Domask as the two guard. That could be interesting. Maybe they are contemplating playing some zone defense.
that means about as much as Bobber posting who will start. Sure he is the ultimate insider but coaches make line ups Not message boards
oh yes, the bobber knows all. a handfull of years ago, during fall practice, i was enjoying a meal with dale lennon. somewhere between chicken wings i am incredibly giving lennon offensive advice. he smiles, pulls out an index card, and tells me to diagram a play for the salukis. this is my big chance. so i start drawing up a picture for a jet sweep/pass. the DB's always rush the jet sweep. dale smiles and puts in his in pocket. later in the season, i ask him, politely, why they have never tried my play.
he looks me in the eye and says "because i prefer that lasteven mckinney not get killed while i am the football coach."
after that, i decided to leave the coaching up to the coaches. but it is hard.
@dogdays I have heard the literal bleacher coaches at games and yeah they do not generally sound like they know much at all. I have read things that make a lot more sense on this board. I am sure there are people that have played college ball or played for coaches in the high school hall of fame that actually know quite a bit. Given this is a Hensley thread I will save any more for another day or after a game when the staff finds a way to somehow play JD over our other guys even though he is not even on the roster this year.
- Lol. I don’t disagree that coaches, mgrs can make questionable , even wrong choices. And arguing about them is what make sports fun. All I was and am saying is that to imply that In general fans know more than coaches is silly.
@jabman62 I can't be married to it. I have too many other things to do with my life. I can't live Salukimania 24/7 and I think most fans fall into that same category. It's about time for me to take my dog for a 2nd walk and then I need to go to the bank and then go grocery shopping. Since It's Tuesday I'll spend a great deal of the afternoon reading.
1) Pretty sure Bobber knows more about food than Dale Lennon (and possibly football too)
2) getting some distance from the game gives bench coaches some objectivity the game coach doesn't have - hopefully the assistants offer that viewpoint if the HC is amenable to feedback

I will miss the national leader in lane violations caused!
