NC A&T Coach Lauds KD & Team

[ZipAnalyst]

''I told our players we are playing a team that we want to be like,'' said Eaves, who is in his fifth year as head coach of A&T. ''They are very disciplined and they do what they are asked. That's a credit to their coach. Hats off to Akron. It's someone we want to emulate.'' (from today's ABJ)By the time NC A&T matches where Akron is now, the Zips will be somewhere else. I'd say within 5 years KD"s Zips will be the talk of the media and how KD has brought quality to the Zip basketball program.KD is getting the right players in place now. A concurrent goal has to be upgrading the schedule. Some on this board say existing mid-majors will not schedule us home-and-home and that may well be. So the Zips will, as the talent improves, have to schedule RPI enhancing opponents on-the-road until we attain status as a top tier mid-major power. Once there, we will be in position to have a class home schedule that will bring in the crowds.

High praise...good find. However, I would like to advise Eaves to have his team ignore Akron's spotty foul shooting. That might be a facet of the game to not emulate.
