I am not arguing against facts. I am not sure how anyone could deduce that from my previous posts. My point was that he always comes around to comment about facts (which is fine). My point being just because he can google some facts does not mean that he knows anything about the sport of basketball. I also said previosully that I am by far not a basketball genius, but I have pickedup my fair share about the sport over the years. I am only pointing out that you can know all the facts you want about the sport, but it means very little when you try to talk an actual game (strategy and such).

Like using a 2-3 zone to defend the 3 ?

Enters Tasty.... assumes he knows everything because he has a computer with spell check and google so he can research facts. Make sure you always agree with him. He has google!

You sure...? I think there are a lot that would argue it is coaching... I mean they do not respect the coach so they miss free throws and turn over the ball right? You might need to ask Emmitt or Doct

Yes, never trust a man who can "research facts". Trust a guy who has two message board handles.

The fact you were arguing was free throw shooting. Not too much strategy involved there.

I was merely saying that because tasty was coming off as a smart aleck. I have no doubt he has his statistics correct. With the internet anything is easily obtained.

My friends who have played or coached at the college basketball level. I would trust them over emmit, tasty or anyone else. They worked us over when we later played in rec leagues. I trust the people who on any given possession can tell me where the ball is going to and who is going to take the shot before it been happens. I cannot even do that 100% of the time. Not even close to be honest.

I personally have not seen it work, but I do know people who believe it works. I suppose to depends on how you run it. A typical 2-3 zone traps in the corners so no because it allows the ball to be swung around the permitter to the open man for a 3. I suppose if you ran your 2-3 like a 4-1 then it could stop the three? It would depend on your 3 and 4 coming out of the post to trap in the corner so that your opposite side guard can cover the top and your opposite side post can cut off the cross court pass. Down side is this would leave you vulnerable to cutters and and your 5 has no help in the paint. I guess it is all a matter of perspective and what you consider a true 2-3 zone. A true 2-3 zone allows the team to shoot right over it so not sure how it guards the three. If you think it does that is fine. You ma picture it run differently in your mind.

So who is it that has been in the trenches that you are trusting?

More than likely his other handle who he once spent several paragraphs propping up.

Personally, I trust that emmitt01 guy. He's pretty knowledgeable...or so I hear. But he's not me, I promise.

Go online and do some of the research that we did...

I just wish that some of you would check your grammar and punctuation. Reading through some of these threads just reinforces what other schools (i.e. SMU) think about our graduates....and in the case of some who post on this forum they are right. I have made one New Years resolution to not correct, through editing posts, other's belching of English anymore. That is all.

Well, aren't we the sanctimonious (just kidding!) one these days. ha! I feel your pain, but do realize some of the errors are due to "fat thumbs" on small keyboards, spell check...which seems to think it knows better, some I-pads without spelling and grammar and punctuation correction and some folks just typing too fast and not proofing.

AND, to your SMU point...WHO THE HECK CARES WHAT SMU PEOLPLE THINK???? Good God, get over it folks. SMU people, are not sitting around bad mouthing UNT and a few posters here on GMG.Com all day every day due to spelling and punctuation errors. If they are, it means they are reading this board, and that places them right in the same category of those you seem to think they criticize all the time. And, if they think a few should generalize to the many then they have much bigger problems they need to deal with rather than UNT's "reputation".

While I share your pain with some of this (their/there, etc.), it is, as folks seem to want to remind me all the time, a message board. And, why didn't you correct some of my more glaring errors if you have the time to correct others??? Ha!

But, I agree that a few might need to do a bit more proofing before hitting the "post button". I am often guilty myself...especially when I am using my I-Pad to post.

Should I send a written apology to SMU and ask that they not generalize so much or spend so much time worrying about UNT?

This is the reason why we are consistently loosers. SMU kept us out of CUSA because of GRAMMER problems!

To the OP, Johnny bought me a beer at a football game, so I will be forever endeared to him. You might say he caused me to THROW back a beer for FREE! He therefore greatly improved my free throws!

That was me, not JJ.

I knew you were drunk, but...really!!!

If you can't see what I'm getting at then disregard my post and go on with what you are doing. I am referring to some who type as if they have a 5th grade education and can't spell the simplest of words correctly. All I am saying is please don't disregard the squiggly red line at the bottom of your suspected misspelling. If you think it doesn't reflect on your degree then go on living in denial.

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      I'll say that I noticed this team has more attitude than previous years. Before teams would ignore other's taunting or stare downs, but these players embrace it. Even Sissoko who seems like a gentle giant stared down his guy.

      I would like them to be good enough to be Quad 1 but not too good to get Will Wade hired away because they're our only home game on the books for next year lol.

      UTSA Game Poll

      UTSA is 4-0 at home and 0-5 away for 4-5 overall. NT is 3-2 at home and 2-2 away for 5-4 overall. They haven't gone thru the 3 game gauntlet NT has. Homer says we'll win by 14.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      figure one main thread to keep track of how our opponents are faring. the AAC is off to a pretty strong start...overall record of 29-7. plus currently Oregon State, High Point and Utah State / St. Bonaventure are all 3-0 - Memphis (2-0) with two quality wins v. Mizzou and UNLV. they should be undefeated (though San Francisco isn't a gimmie) heading into a 11/25 game with UCONN. - UAB (2-1)...I thought their loss to Vermont wouldn't look too bad, but UV has two pretty ugly losses now. really intriguing game tomorrow 11/15 v. High Point - FAU (2-1) look tough...their loss was by 6 to UCF who already beat then 13th A&M. - the other undefeated teams, ECU (3-0), Temple (3-0), Tulane (3-0), Tulsa (3-0), Wichita St. (2-0) collectively really haven't played much of a schedule...best win is probably WSU over WKU...but they've made pretty light work of what's in front of them. Games of interest over the next week or so: 11/14 - Northern Iowa @ Wichita State 11/15 - UAB @ HighPoint ; Temple @ Boston College ; FAU v. Charlston and Liberty (11/16) 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next)
