I don't know if we are still trying to use that last scholarship or not. My guess is that having to replace 2 coaches in the last 6 weeks threw a wrench into our recruiting efforts. We might still be looking at a few available transfers but the safer bet is that we are banking that last scholarship for next year.

Man, we are really going to have some unbalanced classes next year if we don't bring in some upperclassmen transfers or JUCO recruits. With 3 open scholarships now, this is what our roster looks like if no one else leaves:
Seniors: Lou Love (if he decides to come back)
Juniors: James Manns
Sophomores: Tim Finke Trey Calvin Tanner Holden Grant Basile
Freshmen: Alex Huibregtse Andrew Welage Brandon Noel AJ Braun Keaton Norris

No way! Besides it not being good for the players to play on back on to back days every weekend I don't buy that. We play in at least one MTE every year where we play 3-4 days in a row. The HL tournament is also set up to play multiple games in consecutive days. Add to the fact that all these kids have come from an AAU culture where they play 5-6 games every weekend during their AAU season which is practically year round. If Nagy learned how to develop and play his bench like everyone else in the conference it would be even less of an issue.

I was going to go to IUPUI's message board to see what was going on but then I remembered they don't have one

Well...it's time to stop sugar-coating it here. Hall has been epically (sp?) bad on numerous/most occasions this year...last year as well. He is so sloppy with the ball that I'm surprised he even gets on the court. His shot selection is ridiculously selfish and he is NOT the 3pt shooter that he apparently fancies himself to be. I've read what a great defender he is...and I simply rarely see that. Hall had a bad game last night. Everyone on this team has had a bad game one night or another this year. It's pretty idiotic to make a post like the one above with NO facts to back it up so lets actually look at the facts. 1. He is sloppy with the ball. That is in part true. Hall leads the team in TOs at 33 but he also is second on the team in assists at 30. Love has 28 TOs compared to his 21 assists. Finke has 19 TOs compared to his 18 assists. Guess we should bench them too. 2. His shot selection is ridiculously selfish and he is NOT the 3pt shooter that he apparently fancies himself to be. Hall is shooting 38.6% from the field which is 4th best of our starters and 36.6% from 3 which is SECOND best of our starters. Our PG Calvin, which you have praised on multiple occasions wsuwillie, is shooting worse than him from the field and from 3 at 38.5% and 35.1% respectively. And Calvin has chucked up more FG and 3 point attempts to boot. wsuwillie, if I am remembering correctly you have also been one of the guys calling for James Manns to play more. He is shooting 36.8% from the field and 22.2% from 3 this year. 3. I've read what a great defender he is...and I simply rarely see that. Hall's defense sucked last night. There is no arguing that. It's part of the reason he got benched in the second half. He has gotten the defensive assignment of our opponent's top scorer every game for the last 2 years. That doesn't happen if you are a bad defended. If you want to lay blame as to why we lost last night, you might want to look in the box score. the guy Hall was defending for 1/2 the game he played only scored 12 points. The guy that won the game for YSU last night had 28 points and made our HL POTY candidate look like a JV basketball player. Maybe our coach should have figured that out and put anyone on Bohannon besides Love. Bohannon is a SF playing the post for YSU. Love had no chance to stay with him. Switching up defenders should have occurred at some point in the game but never did. YSU is a bad 3 point shooting team for the season. They started off hot last night but still ended up only 5-14. They won the game by getting in the lane and making easy high percentage shots and getting offensive rebounds and easy put back buckets. The games they lost this year were against teams that played a lot of zone defense against them. That prevents them from getting those easy inside shots and forces them to take more 3s. Our coach acts like zone defense is a 4 letter word when you ask him about it, even though our own team struggles against zones quite often. It makes absolutely no sense to not play some zone, especially when our coach does not want to use his bench. Playing really good man to man defense exhorts a lot more energy than playing zone does.

And that's why James Manns doesn't get playing time. What a garbage possession. What? It was only one on four. Those are good odds in James' head.

We have also been increasing our online offerings which made the transition from in class to online this spring possible. I think we are ahead of the curve for what is going to be needed to survive in the future.
