Everyone needs to calm down...

Golden might make it to the next level if he had the heart, courage, and defensive ability that Maze has.

LOL. Maze was not a good defender.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Golden makes Maze look like Gary Payton defensively.

Don't see how you can attack Golden's heart and courage like that considering he's had the most pressure of anyone the past two years and put up good numbers. His defense is pretty terrible though.

wait for it....

Ah. I call um like I see um.
Stokes had a double double against Bama because he was busting his ass to grab the 3pt bricks off the glass.
When he finally ran out of gas and couldn't get off the floor anymore they just kept coming.
We were hearing it in the scrimmage against GT and still hearing it in the end.
Half time comment: Not getting the ball to Jarnell.
And when he did run out of gas we never saw the second best offensive rebounder on the team. What ever happened to the Yemi love?
Problem is guard play, plain and simple.

So its pearls fault our players shot too many threes against Bama.....LOL that is a stretch

Seeing as how I plainly said it was on the players not sure how you got that from my post. But let me simplify that satement. I am not saying it was "pearl's fault" but the same players we have now commonly did the say thing when the great Bruce Pearl was here.

Point being sometimes it is on the players as much as the coach.

Nope, but he is much better than Golden

Which players? I don't remember any of the players currently on this team that got any significant minutes when playing for Pearl.

In Pearl's last season, Trae Golden and Skylar Mcbee both averaged 13 minutes per game, and Kenny Hall averaged 7.

That's exactly why I said "significant minutes".

So what common mistakes that we se now from this team did we see when Freshman Trae Golden was playing sparingly at 13 min/game, Mcbee at 12 min/game, Hall at 7 min/game, and McRae at 5 min/game.

It will be interesting to see how we spin "Pearl's fault" on this one.

Why would the outcome of this year be Pearls fault?

I have no idea. Poster a few posts up said

"same players we have now commonly did the same thing when the great Bruce Pearl was here. "

The current players that were here when Pearl was here hardly had any playing time what so ever during a year that they knew their coach was getting fired.

I don't remember McBee chasing around the opposing team's best player. I don't remember anything McRae or Hall did since they played very little. Golden's 3 minute spurts in games was barely enough to know what type player he was.

First of all you need to go read my original post and you would see the whole statement is taken out of context.

My poinst was simply to those whose hail Bruce Pear and yet bash Martin for our offense looking like it did against Bama when in reality is we have had a tendency to stand around and just jack up 3's against a zone way before Martin was here.

And about the players with significant minutes why would it matter? That is what they were doing during practice and that is what their upperclassmen showed them so naturally that is what they will learn. Golden, McBee and McRae all are guilty.

No one said it was Pearl's fault. It was some crazy poster who did not have comprehention of my original post. It said nothing to do with anything being Pearl's fault.

I didn't say I agreed or disagreed. Was curious as to the question and posted the answer.

Its not for OUR entertainment. It's for THIER scholarship

Make no mistake about it. They get their scholarship so they can entertain people. It's about making money. Always. Football and hoops pay for all the other sports.

I'm not really proving any point. I'm just seeing where you will go. EVERYONE that comes to Volnation is sick and tired of people like you bringing up "Pearl is to blame" crap. Why even bring him up at all. He's not been around in 2.5 years. This includes all the Pearl lovers, Pearl haters, Martin lovers, and Martin haters. EVERYONE is sick of the little Pearl jabs to start a string of posts of arguing and bickering back and forth.

The thread is "Everyone needs to calm down..." Has nothing to do with Pearl. If you want to start your jabs, then do EVERYONE a favor and post only in the Pearl threads.
