For those who haven't figured it out this isn't about Mal vs Fred vs JW...it's all about our resident attention whore.

Some of the comments above are not only hateful, they are ignorant. "jacking up shots whenever he wants"?????? WTF!? If you don't know by now that HCGM wants his players to shoot the ball when they are open, then there is no hope for you. Gregg Marshall's teams will always jack up shots and if the player jacking them isn't having a good night he will have a lot of misses. Gregg does NOT tell his players to stop shooting if they are missing. He believes that inhibits them from breaking out of their slump. When our offense wasn't moving and MA had the ball in his hands, he had two choices with the clock running down: 1) he could drive right into the zone, or 2) he could shoot it. If he didn't see an opening in the zone he had to shoot it - sometimes forcing it. Our lack of movement in the offense during poor games was the reason a lot of shots were jacked. That was on everybody's head, not just MA's.

For the record, this is what you're quoting from me:

Don't really see the point not to now. Might as well start getting FVV experience leading this team for next season, even if he didn't give us a better shot at winning right now than Armstead. And I think he does, anyway.

My reply was in absolutely no way hateful towards Armstead, and was simply regarding giving FVV more playing time because I thought he was starting to surpass Armstead. I also responded a second time in the thread, I believe a few hours later, with a more in-depth analysis that actually made me conclude that Armstead was still a better option as a starter than FVV regardless. I don't believe I've ever been hateful to any Shocker player, and I changed my mind on the Armstead/FVV issue based on the stats long before Armstead started playing better. At that point my only opinion on the issue was that FVV deserved more minutes, and I think Armstead should play less when he's clearly having an off night (and more when he's having beastly games like he has lately).

I don't think Armstead's a perfect player, but he's a long way from a badplayer as well, and I don't think we would have won nearly as many games this year without him.

I'm expecting the resident troll to jump back in and stir things up in just a few minutes. I'm just wondering why he's not posting over here on his man crush, I mean he's the one who said that his butt cheeks looked like a Tomatsu truck.........
