DJ Balentine reminds everyone that there really isn't more to basketball than scoring average.

Few about baker
“It was not looking good. We waited until our backs were firmly pinned against the proverbial wall, and then we responded,” said USA and Gonzaga University head coach Mark Few. “Through that whole time, though, Ron Baker was just playing his tail off, and I think that kind of kept us alive.

Anytime your % of Shots exceed your % of points you are a liability to the team, not an asset.

Watched all 5 games with my son. Slightly different perspective here than a lot of other posters on here. First of all my hat is off to Fred and how he handled the situation of not making the final cut and his nothing but positive comments supporting Ron and Team USA. Contrast that with many of the derogatory comments towards coaches and others on this board. Fred is a great example of the right way to act and someone I am proud to have my son look up to. With regards to the coaches I have no doubt in hindsight they wish they would have made different choices on the last couple roster spots, however I don't believe they intentially did anything that they thought would harm the teams chances in Toronto. As Shocker fans I understand we may all think it is obvious what the decision should have been, but let's treat them in the same classy way Fred and Ron have handled their situations, and they are the ones in the first person. The coaches all want to win as well. You don't think they would have liked to have Nigel Hayes available to guard Nicholsan (SP?) in yesterday's game. It wasn't only Fred that got cut that would have helped this team.
Now with regards to Ron, what a great 5 games and an example of the right way to play basketball. No sulking or even the hint of it when he didn't get the ball when he was open. Led the team in steals and didn't see the final stats, but I believe also had the fewest turnovers of any player. Again the things you can point out to young players about how to go about your business on the court. He did all the little things that sometimes even the announcers didn't mention, but I'm sure his coaches noticed and it is why he played more minutes than any other college player. Couldn't be prouder of two great SHOCKERS and the great example they set for my son and all the other young players that follow them. Everybody should focus on the positives and forget about Bobby Brown or the coaches.
I'm not on Twitter, but if anyone wants to link my photos so Ron and Fred can see you have permission. Now off to Las Vegas in the morning to rap up the summer basketball season:bball_spin:.

But that aside, Bobby Brown volunteered to play and helped us get only our 2nd medal in the history of the Pan Am games. There is absolutely no reason for members here to be trashing him on his twitter, etc. It is just asinine. Leave the guy alone. I'm not saying I enjoyed how he played, but still he was a volunteer, and even if he wasn't, there is no reason for anyone to berate him publicly on his twitter or something to that respect. Make all the comments you want on this board, but anything more directly communicative to him is way to over the top.

Lets just leave it be. I hate how this board gets so involved in personal bickering. This will be by last post on this subject.
