I think you should run out onto the floor the next home game so you can put KD in his place. I'm sure once you let him know he's on the "Hot Seat", the Zips will win out the rest of the season.

I just heard Gerry Faust would be the sideline reporter.

They are getting paid. They get a free four or five years of however many classes they care to take. Free room and board. Free books. Everybody else has to figure out a way to pay for the same thing.

Wow! No wonder freshmen have trouble seeing the floor.

Go Zips, you have my permission to give away the rest of your tickets.

Same answer here.The only thing I really complained about was the food quality at the concession stands. Everything I had was very dried out and lacking any flavor. Very bare bones as far as condiments and dressings.

Not that I have a problem with cool halftime routines (the panda plate lady was awesome), but who comes to a game to see the halftime entertainment? Why pay for something if it's not going to get people in the seats?Have you ever been to a Cavs game? Even though they have the greatest player in the NBA, they also have non-stop entertainment action going on before, during and after the game. It really does add something to the overall experience. If the Zips are ever going to draw the casual fan, they need more than just basketball.

Halftime? Anything would be an improvement over what we've seen so far. I don't think I can take another dance group or little dribbler"s team at halftime this season. Where's the Red Panda plate stacking lady?

In the standings but not at the bank.I think Saturday's game scared away a few hundred people from ever attending another Zips basketball game.I would guess that most of the reason for the bigger crowd on Saturday was due to the Hall of Fame inductions.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "majority lead," but the play-by-play of the Zips-Zags game (link below) shows that the Zips were never more than 4 points behind until 8:15 was left in the game.The Zips led the Zags from 6:40 remaining in the first half to 13:15 remaining in the second half, or 13:25, and a couple of times after that, as well.In the 10 minutes between 16:54 remaining in the first half and 6:40 remaining in the first half, the Zips pulled ahead of the Zags 6 different times.Only in the last 9 minutes of the game did the Zags clearly outplay the Zips. For the other 31 minutes, the Zips were either leading, tied, or within 4 points.Zips-Zags Play-By-PlaySo in all of those stats do you see a major lead for Akron. I do not. A lead by 4 points is clearly not insurmountable. You can tell yourself whatever you like but gonzaga was never in clear danger of losing that game. Gonzaga played almost everyone on their bench while Akron was in their normal rotation the whole game. As it looked to me was that Mark Few was conserving as much as he could knowing that Gonzaga was going to play more games. Keep thinking that Akron is at Gonzaga's level, and that is why Akron is laughed at outside this ring of nonsense.Dave and I were actually at the Rose Garden that afternoon for the Gonzaga game. Standing in line at the concession stand during halftime, I assure you that the Zags fans were quite worried about the outcome of the game. No one was laughing at the Zips. Well me, my dad, and Andy were there, and Mark Few was not worried. Tell Dave that for me. So you saw Mark few laughing at the Zips? Why do you feel it's neccesary to tear down the Basketball program?

Not that what you wrote here is rocket science for those that understand Division I basketball...but DAMN that was well said and well written!!! My guess is I would be hard pressed to find a better quick analysis anywhere.A little inside info here, in another life, Dave in Green was a journalist! Then he spent 30 years in corporate "Communications". He better know how to put more than 2 words together at one time!

It's down to UA or UT.http://www.cantonrep.com/carousel/x9858267...Akron-or-Toledo

Fixed it for ya!

I think I heard KD say that they mostly run the 3out/2in motion. .

Zach, was that you out on the court last night for one of the timeout shooting contests?

Ianello finalizes staff

I think its a typo. Dambrot is 8-3 vs UB.

Not anymore.I hope they get it together, regardless of who operates the Team Shop.

The Team Shop at the JAR is run by the Athletic Department. The Bookstore is run by student services. Two totally different operations.

You kinda got that right Zach. The rule is that the secondary defender cannot draw a charge under the basket. In other words if Nic is guarding his man out by the foul line and the ball handler makes a move around Nic towards the basket, the other defender who has rotated into the the area under the basket cannot draw the charge. They are calling that blocking on the defender now.

There has always been a significant subset of coaches in all sports at all levels who see intimidation or humiliation as legitimate tools of motivation or discipline. I think perhaps the question is one of degree. Are there circumstances where yelling at a kid not only can be wholely warranted but entirely constructive? Sure. Nearly all of us probably can relate a story where getting an energetic earful proved helpful in our development as human beings.But there is no question in my mind that there are a great number of coaches who cross the same blurred lines that some parents do, where what might be intended as something constructive escalates into something that can only be described as abuse.Where those blurred lines lie is not something easily described or agreed upon, but I will say that the coach or the parent that leans more than rarely on the intimidation/humiliation crutch is treading some very dangerous territory when it comes to developing young people in a healthy and constructive way. And if they don't have other effective methods for motivation and instruction in their toolbox, then they can only be described as incompetent boobs.Just my two cents.I totally agree. And in some respects, I can't wait for a player to take a swing back at his coach.Next time I see Ryan Andrick, I'll ask him how it felt.

Someone check to see if Terry Marsh has any eligibility left.Anybody seen Rashon Brown lately? Coast to coast with less than 5 seconds to beat Buffalo.
