Web Site Slaps Us

I actually liked his set up. Would be interesting to listen to if it were on local sports talk radio.That might actually get me to tune into an AM radio again. Last time I did that I listened to how Tim Couch was better than Kelly Holcomb, and Kelly Holcomb was better than Tim Couch for 6 months. I'm not putting any more effort into it. I stayed up to watch the Channel 5 11:30 show last night. I was tricked into thinking that KD was going to have a response to getting the NIT snub.His response was after not getting an NCAA bid. I was going to get over the last second Miami shot...I wasgoing to get over not getting an NCAA bid, but I might not get over the NIT snub. Still hurting. :nutkick:

OK folks. Let me respond.1) Moohead Radio is the most listened to internet sports talk show in NE Ohio. I owned terrestrial radio stations for 15 years. I sold them in 2000 to Clear Channel. I am NOT some guy with a mic and a laptop. I am a broadcaster.2) I went to Miami of Ohio 1975-1978. I love MAC basketball. I actually wanted Akron to win. They are the best team this year.3) the NIT snub is really odd. I don't get it.4) Dambrot took the wrong approach to this. His team got lulled into Miami's tortoise like approach. Miami was mismatched athletically. Akron did not take advantage. Dambrot's post game assessments were off base, and inaccurate. Of course Penno was lucky. But it should never have come to that.I want you all to listen and call. We can have a good argument. It's what makes for good radio. I do NOT hang up on callers with views other than mine. I will defend my opinions to the best of my ability. And if I lose...I'll just fall back on the "I'm a Cow" excuse!Moohead Radio sounds better than AM radio. We have put a lot of money into the quality of the stream, and the quality of the phone interface. Give it a shot. I tink you'll be surprised.Mr MooheadResident Bovine

Hey Mootard, How can you possible say that Dambrot did not handle himself well? Given the situation and at the heat of the moment - I was frankly impressed how he handled the situation. Can you imagine if it was Bowling Green vs Akron when Hipsher was here? I can see it clearly now...Hipsher and Dakich just going absolute nuts, chairs flying, voices screaming.....The guy truly cares about the kids on his team. Put yourself in their shoes. They just had their hearts and dreams ripped out. Give the guy a break.

Yes but I think he should stop saying this and that, and take the blame and put it on him, himself and his staff. I know my high school basketball coach said just win and everything will be fine, there's no excuse for losing. I remember him going off on a reporter before the season started when the reporter asked if inexperience will cost us games. Reason why you lost are excuses, the other team beat you because they scored more then you did. We aren't in the dance because we didn't win the turney. We lost the regular season title because Toledo won more conference games then us. I put this squarely on ourselves and blame no one else. He needs to step up and do what needs to be done to get an auto bid next year come turney time.

We cant blame him tho, he had the gameplan to win. as stated back in the first half od the season. Free Throwing can come back to bite us in the rear....... and it did. If we hit all of our free throws we win the game, if we hit one we win.

I thought Keith was composed on the court. It was nice seeing he and Coles sharing a private moment. I don't think he displayed poor sportsmanship.On the other side of the fence, his post game assessment about 2.6 seconds was in error, his assessment about deserving the NCAA was in error, and I did not read him take responsibility for a 52 point output against an outmanned team.The NIT snub is ridiculous. And it's a slap to the MAC. The Seniors will not forget this one any time soon.Cow

So you gotta put this on the team. The refs, league and turney officials didn't miss the free throws
So what about all the calls that went uncalled the whole game, and i mean if this guy has been working the shot clock for all the years that the Official stated in the email, how can he allow somthing like that to happen? If it is the same guy who does the cavs game, I never see or have heard of him messin up the clock in them games... just my opinion, you can blame the refs, guy working the clock, and blame the team for missin the FT.

I've been trying to think of an analogy for what happened and this is the best I could come up with... it might not make any sense.If you leave for work late one day because you accidentally (or purposefully) slept in and on your way to work you were hit by a truck that runs a red light who would you blame? Based on some people's logic you should blame yourself because if you had left on time you wouldn't have been hit by the truck. But clearly the truck is at fault. I look at the time situation the same way. Sure, if Cedrick had hit the FT then its a moot point, but he didn't and the rules demand that the timer GET IT RIGHT. He didn't and it unalterably changed the game. If he starts it on time, there is no way that Penno takes a pump fake on Dials. He has to throw that ball up sooner than he thought. There's no way of knowing the outcome, but in my opinion you can't blame the players. They put themselves in a position to win. Thats really all you can ask for.

i keep seeing people bring up that danbrot said the shot was lucky and saying that's pretty low of him. in one of the articles (can't remember where i saw it) the kid himself said it was a lucky shot. it went something along the lines of "yeah i'd like to say i meant that, but no it was luck. i sent up a prayer and god answered."if the kid himself is saying it was a lucky shot (which it was) why are people getting so up in arms when kd says it was too?

meatwad....I love your comparison.Let me say this one more time. I'm not going to debate whether the shot would have counted, or wouldn't have counted, if the clock had started on time. That can be debated forever. But, what I can say for sure is this...When the Miami team was coming up the court, if they were seeing the CORRECT time on the clock, they would have had to rush that play much faster. It would have been a more frantic shot (no dribble, no side step, no pump fake), and would have been an even bigger miracle if it had gone in. Anyone with any basketball knowledge would tell you this. For those who still think that Miami would have done the same thing, you are wrong. The guy holding the ball would have never risked making a head fake, taking a dribble, or a side step....IF HE WAS SEEING THE CORRECT TIME ON THE CLOCK. The timekeeper's error helped Miami get the ball up the floor, and get a pretty decent, squared-up shot. How can anyone possibly argue otherwise?

Count me in with skip-zip. Water under the bridge now but Miami would have had to rush it even more than they did.

:CK_brew: whoever moohead is, he did make some cogent,objective obs of the Miami game...it was said here before but KD allowed Charlie's boys to play their game and did nothing to change the tempo at the end of the 2nd half...AND it never should have come down to the last 5 seconds...NEVER...KD got outcoached OR was too stubborn to force the action and get miami out of its comfort zone...i keep getting this haunting feeling that KD is not a good big game coach...and constantly blaming everyone else for big losses doesn't help his team and doesn't win him any points with other coaches not to mention the officials...BUT the NIT did SCREW them...
