More random thoughts from a cluttered mind

There were a couple of things happening at the end that cost us going to overtime where who knows what would have happened, but we would have had a chance

1) We fouled very quickly on the inbounds passes for the first two inbounds. If Kohl had waited a heartbeat or two on the first one and we waited a heartbeat or two the second time, there would have been less time left. They did much better the third time at letting some time run off.

2) Taking Kohl out and putting Elmarko in was a questionable decision as Kohl was bringing a lot of energy to the final minutes. But Coach felt more conmfortable with Elmarko and I understand, but don’t agree with it.

3). DNP not showing to slow the progress definitely allowed for the clear lane without thought to the basket. I think forcing him to his right was correct for two reasons. I thought he was a left handed player, but I may be off on that and it forced him towards potential help in the person of DNP.

Regardless, this was yet another in a series of frustrating seasons. It was better in some ways as you could see the potential was greater with this team. I didn’t think the potential was as great in the last few years. The Hunter Dickenson teams never gave me much hope.

I wish we could have retained Zuby and felt that way when we signed Hunter. Retention of players is key to Self’s teams. They need to develop under him. He is better at that, it seems, than merging and melding disparate pieces from other teams.

Just my $.02
