| McBulldog,
The mob mentality of this board is not conducive to breeding success
Agreed McB. There's no basketball being played at this time. It is a time to dial back and
save it for when it counts. The mob mentality was generated by things on the court and
the decisions made to inflame the situation. Wow, life would be great if it was all peaches
and cream but we know that's not true....A good healthy debate is where there is point-
counterpoint. Most of the negativity can be eliminated by one thing..... WINS !!!
For some.... 7 conference and 14 overall WINS is enough.....

| In the coming year, let's do all we can to encourage and foster a sense of excellence. We have to first expect it
and stop making excuses of why we can't or don't have. Use what we have and maximize that. That's the starting
point. Yes, 10-11 will be brand new with many new challenges seen and unseen. The learning curve is going to be
steep for everyone involved. In many ways, we will be starting all over. MP3 (Mark Phelps - 3rd year coach) is the
captain of this ship.....

The third year will basically tell us the direction the team is going...a winning record and postseason bid = sings of life...a losing record = return to Kanaskie/Washington era. |

Remember the same comments about Dr. T.

And I agreed with it then too. You need to show progress in the third year (i.e. winning record, postseason) and results in the fourt year (i.e. NCAA tournament).
Remember the situation Dr. Tom came into was much different than the situation Phelps came into. Dr. Tom took over a team that was 10-20. Phelps took over a team that was 28-5. |

By this standard, Dr. T's tenure at Drake was a failure. Were you one of those who were claiming he had "lost" it back in 05-06?

So you want a return to the one-dimensional Al Stewart era? The Valley figured out how to stop that or don't you remember 05-06?

The difference between what puttheDbackinDrake is suggesting and the 2005-06 team is the part where he says "And then play D." I don't believe the 05-06 team did much of that.

You mean like Keno's current Providence team?

I heard during a Big East tournament game the announcers talking about a player's best statistical game this season. The other announcer said I bet it was against Providence and they both laughed. (by the way, it was against Providence) |

| I've not posted for some time because I wanted to let the season sink in a bit. Yes, the overall record was not that great, but the more I think about it the happier I am. Why? Well, for one, Drake was competitive in almost all conference games this year. Not the case last year. Drake lost two tough road games by a last second shot to Bradley and ILState. The same against Evansville at home (which Drake always seems to do). Home many games did Drake get blasted on the road last year? Also, the tourney game was painful, but UNI put the same hex on Bradley and WSU as they did to Drake and WSU and Bradley are, arguably, better teams. The game that upsets me the most is Iowa. How we lost that I don't know, not to mention SIU-Eddy, but it is clear Phelps made adjustments once conference began and they played better. It was posted here by others several times that the coach's job is to put his team in position to win each game. How many times did Phelps do that this year? A lot. Also, as someone said, Phelps is recruiting great talent and great student athletes. He is doing a lot of things right and I cannot be upset with him.
The only real beef I have is the rebounding. Wow, that is not good, and hopefully he will figure that out. |
