2019-20 Coach's Shows with Gregg Marshall

[Stickboy46]

Grant/Eric/Tyson are 20 years old with Grant being the youngest of the 3 (just turned 20) If you really want to be mind blown - Grant Sherfield is 2 months older than Morris Udeze.

Dexter just celebrated his 21st birthday.


Lets just stop with the youth and the experience bullshit ok?

Uhh counterpoint, Grant and Tyson have played D1 ball for 3 months. A grand total of 23 games each.

In 2013 WSU had 7 losses just in the Valley:

Evansville x2
Creighton x2 (away and in the MVC tourney)
@ SIU
@ Northern Iowa
Indiana State

Think about that - our final 4 team lost to Evansville - twice!!

The 2013 MVC was a much difference conference than 2020 MVC. If you compared the 2013 MVC with 2020 AAC I think come away that the MVC might be a tougher conference than the AAC this year.

Kenpom MVC (2013)
15. CU
17. WSU
63. ISUR
68. UNI
84. EU
92. ISUB

Kenpom AAC (2020)
19. Houston
39. Cincy
47. WSU
60. UConn
63. Memphis
74. SMU
83. Tulsa

This was actually a smart idea. Coach knew he would have a contentious practice. He was going to make guys air grievances. Gregg himself was probably going to have to get blunt with guys. It is best to have your boss watching to back you up in case guys took the wrong message and made the situation worse with further accusations.

like having the HR manager in the office when you talk to an employee

I'm not necessarily disagreeing, but just pointing out there's a difference between youth and inexperience.

And?

[Stickboy46]

And?

That's not a lot of experience. So ups and downs should be expected.

Neither example ever worked out well for me.

Makes me wonder if GM was guarding against future false accusations

[WSUwatcher]

He told them, “it’s time to start playing for what’s on the front of the jersey and not what’s on the back.”

Maybe it's time to take the names off the backs of the jerseys?

Not sure your KenPom numbers back your claim, SB.

Yes, the 2013 Valley had two top 20 teams vs. one at this point for the 2019-20 American. But the MVC also had only those same two in the top 60, whereas the American has five, plus a sixth tied with the rank of the Valley's #3. Looks to me like the 2013 Valley was top-heavy, but the current American is MUCH deeper. (And of course everyone also knew that one of the Valley's top 20 teams wouldn't win two games in the NCAA.)

When I was managing office workers, several would gripe to me about each other. It would get to the point where they were disrupting the work flow. I'd call them into my office, say what they had been saying about each other and then tell them it was time for them to be honest with each other and tell each other how they really felt.

That was pretty awkward, but they left hating me so much that they got along with each other much better.

I can see possibly 3 scholarships opening up this spring. We need a post, and I'm kind of worn out on JuCo posts. We need an immediate contributor, not a "wait till next year" post. We also need a PG. First year PG's are typically a disaster. and I think VanVleet's eligibility has expired. If Fernandez can only get mopup minutes by now? It's not like Burton and Sherfield are so good that a true PG couldn't get some minutes if he was viable at this level.

Maybe a year in the system and a summer to work on weaknesses can make Fernandez a potential high major PG.

JE is pretty good and I wouldn’t mind another JE

We need a post. . . We need an immediate contributor, not a "wait till next year" post.

So, a Freshman that can contribute immediately? Good luck.

5th year transfer? Ok maybe

By not another JuCo like JE. Um.....what?

[Dan]

I’m equally concerned. Two of the most important positions will be our two biggest weaknesses next year.

Let's hope that's not the case here.

The second year JE is much improved over the first-year JE. I'd gladly take a JuCo who could come in and do what JE is doing this year, but it doesn't work that way. Might as well take a Fr who can contribute in years 2, 3, and 4 instead of a JuCo who's likely to contribute in year 2 and then graduate.
