forget reasons - Just a lousily coached team who might win every once in a while when things turn out right by happenstance. Nothing to do with coaching, just being "on" every once in a while

And one of their coaches was obviously really close with him so they're seeing that up close. Assuming this is a shittier day than normal for everyone associated with La Salle basketball seems like a really safe call.

It's emotional and it is extremely sad. But I don't think it's playing into why La Salle is down 17 at half. Even if you think that what's the value in posting it? Just let it go, dude.

Because he attributed the deficit to the passing of a player that graduated over 15 years ago. I just disagreed with that sentiment. That’s it, dude.

game feed said G was game planning for them to get in lane for help side D by putting a line in the paint. Why would the game plan focus on help side D against a team that has 4-5 shooters on the court at all times? Why wouldn't the plan be play straight up and make them finish and not allow kickouts?

Davidson's coach came across as Mother Theresa in the two features they did on him.

Davidson is just not missing from the 3. La Salle should probably guard them out there. Or shoot better than 9% from deep themselves. Yes and yes.

Maybe because Davidson has NEVER been known as a good, outside shooting team over the years? [sarcasm font on]

Has any one ever watched the movie, The Waterboy with Adam Sandler?
Im sure most have.
Well, I cant get out of my head how much Giannini reminds me of Henry Winkler's despairing character, Coach Klein. A coach who's always had a horrendously bad team. All because Coach Klein lost all his confidence ever since his "playbook" was stolen.
However, in G's defense I don't think he's ever possessed confidence or a superb "playbook".
Sorry, i know this is wayyyy out there, but its the only thing making me laugh, with our current basketball situation.

Moultrie really looks for real offensively. Mobile good handle and Smooth shooter. Nice to see.
JUst an awful b-ball game. Totally out classed.

This game doesn't require some kind of deep dive after it. Some notes: - Moultrie dropped 19 points in 23 minutes on 6-10 (5-7 from deep) shooting. He should start, or play 30 minutes a game.
- Pookie took only five shots in 31 minutes scoring two points. Uninspiring.
- Davidson attempts the 9th most three pointers (per % of FGs) in the country. They average 28 attempts per game. La Salle allowed them to shoot 32.
Let's move on.

Let's move on. That’s a big change from your disagreement with me in the G Grades thread only 10 days ago😄

To think that we could be facing a thumping like this at the hands of St. Joe's on Saturday is........depressing.

G’s La Salle teams are now 2-6 against McKillop (1-6 in A10 play).
On to Saint Joseph’s of Pennsylvania.

Stukes disappears again. 3 points on 1-4 shooting. In his defense, Pookie was 1-5 with two. Pookie also had a bad game but Amar disappears far more than Pookie does. In any event, not enough dependable players in the program. BJ is the only one we can count on game to game.

Soooo.... what’s the verdict? We have a lot of very good basketball players on this team. How is it that we are massacred by a team that in all that has been stated, is of similar quality and talent as us? I for one am tired of this repetition. I know what’s going to happen every year. When does something change? Do we actually want to try and win? Or are happy with being what we are?

Not happy with a program that let's be honest is no longer competitive nor relevant ! A.D.should announce displeasure with current state of Explorers hoops, status quo not acceptable! Disgrace is valid description!

You don’t see the very good basketball players because their talent is not being highlighted. These guys are all highly recruited players. They have the talent. They are not being played appropriately. It shows on the court.

It keeps being said on here by some people that we have a lot of talent on this team. Sorry, but we just don’t. As a whole, we have low A10 or mid to high MAAC level talent.
That is just the reality. I believe the coaching does not help the situation.

I believe the coaching does not help the situation. I would disagree with that statement. To think this team doesn’t haven’t talent is silly. The problem is the talent wallow and whither. A lot of these guys were sought after by high level schools. We are losing to teams that have players that are less talented but play better as a team and have defined roles.

When you see us being outcoached night in and night out I do not see the risk.

Games like this highlight for me whybwe need a coach with a defined style and system of play that allows for a wider net of recruiting to be cast. The current philosophy relies on the players being able to beat their men 1-on-1. I imagine if we took Davidson’s players and matched them with our players in a series of 1-on-1 games La Salle would be victorious in a majority of those games.
The reason I think we need a coach with a system is that instead of trying to land these 4 star recruits in the hopes of out-talenting the opponent you have a better chance at landing kids who can play your style. Of course if you can get highly talented kids that can also play in that system it’s fantasti but the current approach to team construction has proven it can’t work. In a league like the A10 it’s almost impossible to be holistically better than most other teams. Given our limitations with facilities, attracting enough volume of that level of recruit is nearly impossible. Tonight’s outcome proved that theory for me. Get me a coach who can plug just about any 5 guys into a system and style and keep that system consistent and I think it’s how you succeed at La Salle. The. Turn that into consistent success and then you’ve got some traction with the fans and alumni and ultimately you have a path to facilities improvement.
For those worried about the risk of making a change, I give you Andy Reid. Sure we might end up with Chip Kelly but we could also end up with Doug Pederson.
