What I really like about TG

Maybe not but definitely cooler than Don DeVoe.

 

The most important lesson we've learned from this whole conversation is that Murph is always right. Disagree with me at your own risk!

 

I think it is the same problem with MW. He has talent but does not know how to get the maximum out of it. UGA was playing a lot better earlier in the season.

 

Lol..the parent life!

 

TG has done a great job assembling talent at all positions..he did great with the portal and also with the freshman. He will get better as a bench coach but if he keeps bringing a solid group of players like he did this year...he will be successful.

 

For all of MWs in game flaws, the biggest one not talked about was roster construction. He never seemed to have the right combination of players for his system, or sufficient depth. Nor did he get guys who were good at the things needed to win consistently. Dirty work guys. CC was the one real exception.
In one year TG overhauled the roster almost completely and got exactly what he needed.

 

Thanks, Brent. I appreciate your response. I disagree with it, but appreciate it. The tenor of your post was that CTG was in over his head and that CTG doesn't know how to maximize this roster. You made that clear.

Hoops is an emotional sport and you are particularly invested. Even more so, you were particularly invested in the last guy. IMO, those feelings were a source of misguided concerns for the new guy. It's all good and I'll stop pressing the issue here.

 

I prefer to think of it as doing what Dan Hurley did in the portal, lol. Golden had a much better idea what he needed heading into this offseason. A combination of multiple scoring guards, especially those with higher usage rates, and multiple bigs, with great length and rebounding ability, in an offense that pushes the tempo to get extra possessions and shots, along with extra rebounds and thus more shots and possessions. We still aren't where he wants to be in terms of shooting, and he obviously wants to bring in some big ticket prep stars (missed on a couple this year), but this season is a clear indication that he knows what he wants and has a pretty good idea how to get there.

 

Was that Captain Ahab? Lol

 

Maybe, just maybe you were wrong. It's ok. I'm moving on.

 

For who?
Edited: I assume you were talking about Pullin from the comment in the presser as I know the team didn’t go 38 minutes without a turnover lol

 

Let's hear it for analytics!

 

Already answered - post 26.

 

Here's the postgame interview with The Georgia
coach.

 

Your concerns about the team as a whole were not unfounded. Your concerns about CTG personally being in over his head and lacking roster know how do seem to have been unfounded. If CTG was in over his head and lacking roster know how, then he certainly has a come a long way in a short time since or he never was in over his head and lacking roster know how. The real concern is that other programs lure CTG away in the future because he's a brilliant young coach, recruiter, talent evaluator, and knows how to assemble and manage a roster. He also has done a great job figuring out this particular team's lineup including managing Kugel's sophomore slump which has had to be delicate internally. You have already conceded that your concerns are being proven "moot" or no longer subject to debate. Lastly, I appreciate your commentary and insight on the board and am not concerned about your faculties to do so.
