Danny Manning Credibility Watch

Fucking clown show today by the Deacs. CMM played his ass off and we let a freshman go off for 30. We need guys who want to defend. I heard today that we have only taken two charges all year. Some teams get two in a game! We did enough on offense to win but until we make defense and rebounding a priority, we are going to come up short. We have more talent than VT, and it should not have come to missed put backs to win the game. When we take the lead, that is when we need to play our best defense.
 
How many players do we lose off this team?

There is no one that I dislike on this team (although one is getting close); however, it is evident that some simply are not athletic enough to play ACC basketball. I wonder if any will be encouraged to play elsewhere?

You must feel dumb for supporting the guy that shall not be named.

You did that. You supported that idiot clown. Fuck me, that would make me reconsider if I knew anything about sports if I supported that guy for 1 year, much less 3. YIKES!


Well, good luck to ya!

All I supported was giving him a fair chance, since he was the coach. He never would have been my choice as coach, however. But if that is what you want to think, don't let the truth get in your way. I'm sure you won't.

That isn't the truth. Stop bullshitting and own up to your mistake.
 
Why do you have to give somebody who has been a career failure a "fair chance" to ruin our basketball program?

This trust in Wellman among our fan base ruined Wake sports. You all are to blame.

Honestly, while he filled a need this year, trading Leonard for Collins will be a big upgrade.

Leonard basically was a carbon copy of dinos with worse shot selection and slightly better post defense - both were too slow on help defense (and this was the key to our bad defense - our rotations were horrible - hence open threes and layups all season. I don't know if it was scheme or lack of ability to move that was the problem). Countless times over the season if a guard got past one of our guards, there was zero help defense, either because of lack of understanding or lack of ability to get over. Our guards consistently gave Leonard the stink eye on wide open layups. Another post defender that is mobile will be a big help. Hopefully that is Collins (and Moore, but I'm not expecting much from him next year). Also, within the scheme, the PF would sag in the lane leaving the corner wide open and neither of them had the speed to recover on the pass out.
 
Probably a combination of scheme and lack of ability. Leonard and Dinos literally can't guard anybody.
 
And then having DT to come in at the last second to try to defend eliminates any rebounding position.
