Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Motion Offense (real talk for FSD)

« on: November 22, 2013, 10:12:10 AM »

having trouble with these talking points about the difficulty of installing the motion offense

1: #55 is good at it 

2: everyone else sucks at it

if BW is the Magus of Motion...why is it so hard to coach em up?

also, do any former ballers remember learning motion offense being particularly difficult??? i dont recall this being the case

« on: July 09, 2011, 11:57:12 AM »

really well produced video that mostly documents the role taiwan has played in the relations between the two countries.  this video is really long but totally worth the watch if you appreciate a balanced analysis of the situation, and not just some george noory Coast to Coast AM guests rant






i also throw in this joe rogan video that discusses his view of the american war machine

Analysis: The Warriors have a lot of front court needs, especially at the 5. But without a legit center available at this point, Morris is a serious option for them. His ability to play multiple positions and score the basketball both on the perimeter and in the post, plus his maturity level, make him a great fit in Golden State.

for the most part i agree with Ford's analysis and think Morris is probably deserving of going this high

but his comment on maturity is dubious

Analysis: The Rockets traded away Shane Battier in February, and Morris wouldn't be a bad long-term replacement. His ability to stretch the floor and rebound, combined with a high basketball IQ, should be welcome in Houston.

the week before confused me equally.  how exactly is Marcus Morris a long term replacement for Shane Battier?  i guess scouts must expect him to keep up with Kevin Durant in the first round of next years playoffs

maybe he surprises....but, having watched him for three years, i dont know what the eff Ford is talking about

5: Consistent winner with potential to be BCS bowl contender every season
4: Potential to join the sport's elite in the near future
3: Recent mediocre results but seems to be building momentum
2: Recent success but seems to be headed in wrong direction KSU & KU
1: Below-average program with little success in past or future


not deflating by any means

classifies turner gills first year as an unmitigated disaster

also notes the mess left by prince

found his comments on WVU to be the most interesting....considering the HCIW was thrown out of a casino recently
