St. Joe's commits less fouls than any team in the NCAA. They will get the benefit of the stripes tomorrow. Let's hope no Joe Lindsey, DJ Carstensen, Joe DeMayo, or Jeffrey Clark (Not sure if he can work St. Joe's games),
As bad as Frank Scagliotta is at least I know he is willing to screw both La Salle and St. Joe's so it actuially evens out. The other guys.........bad news.

So does this mean Mik really is Explorer Steve?

Somewhat tongue-in-cheek boys but I am serious about the names on the list.
I really never believe the refs determine the outcome but I do believe we have to overcome some refs versus others. The ones on that list are the worst for me.

Joe DeMayo is THE WORST. I was at the Fordham game last year and saw him tell a Fordham fan to "watch his f(BLEEEEEEEEEEEP)ing mouth." The guy didn't even say anything more than "That was awful."

Not worried about officiating at this point. Just win the game.

Martelli loves to whine to the refs. On that point.....who are the biggest A-10 coach whiners? For me Chris Mooney is by far the worst. Karl Hobbs was also bad when at GW. The new coach Mike Lonegran is a whiner as well. Shaka Smart, Derrick Kellogg, and perhaps Mark Schmidt are the level below Mooney and Lonegran. G is at the bottom of the ref whiners. |

Doc G is surprisingly tame I think, some may say too tame. Martelli and Smart are pretty good complainers. Jim Baron was a decent complainer too!

It isn't so much the biggest whiners as is who works the refs the best... Refs play a sizable role in games and if you are not getting the calls, the game can easily shift... Any reputable coach is going to work the refs... Coach K, Calipari and Boeheim still work the refs ALL THE TIME... I think Coach G loses that ref battle often because he is too tame |

G frustrates the heck out of me when he doesn't work the refs and protect his players. I am just viewing this as a fan. Chris Monney grates my last nerve with his whining. |

I think our Coach is a genuine nice guy. This does not mean you can't work the refs. He may want to watch some films of how Jay RIGHT uses his nice guy thing with the refs.
One or 2 calls can win a game for you.

St. Joe's near the top of the country in shot blocking, but also with among the fewest fouls.
A weakness is their defense is towards the bottom of the country in forcing TO's, so hopefully we have a game where we take great care of the ball (that's generally been a strength for us this season, but certainly wasn't Wednesday night)
Offensively, St. Joe's shoots a ton of 3s (more than a team with their size probably should) and La Salle has been great at dissuading opponent's from shooting 3s this year (though, a large part of this success has been sieve-like defense at the rim).
They're also one of the only team that uses its bench less than LSU

They're also one of the only team that uses its bench less than LSU Also they do not take care of the ball and if I am Coach G, I am pressing right off the bat. I am doing this for a couple reasons: 1) Jones has not shown that he can handle the press consistently. TOs will equate to more possessions and usually high percentage shots. 2) To tire their guards where there is next to nothing in terms of depth. Use Garland and Mills to defend on the ball as they have the quickness to be able to keep Jones in front. Heck, if G wanted to use Dunn for a quick couple minutes, I would have no problem. Tell Dunn you are getting 2 minutes and I want you to guard Jones 90 feet and wear him down for the time you are in there. Make him use energy to get the ball up that is your primary concern. |

They've actually taken pretty good care of the ball this season...ranked 78th out of about 345 D-I team in TO %...
But I tend to agree that sitting back and letting them attack us with their size in the half court may not work out too well for us

Martelli game plans for certain officials. However, the officials won't play any role in the game on Saturday unless the Explorers fail to hit open shots. La Salle is the far deeper team at guard and Zack has learned not to pick up early fouls.

They chuck frequently and often. If only a percentage of those throwaway turnovers counted, then we would realize without argument that St. Joe's doesn't really take care of the ball. |

St. Joe's shoots 34.0% from deep and the national average is 33.8%. They're also a slightly above average offensive rebounding team. |

I honestly think their low foul rate is due to the fact that they only play 6 guys. Their players know they can't get into foul trouble so they don't put themselves into situations where they will needlessly foul. From what I've seen when I watch them basically Aiken is going to defend you with his feet on the floor and his arms straight up. The only time he is going to leave his feet is when he thinks he is going to swat your shot into the 10th row (which happens a lot of course because he is a freak).
Their game against UMASS was a layup line for UMASS. Terrible D, but yes they don't foul.
I still think we can drive and kick and rain 3's on them all day. They only scare me when they have 5 minute bursts where their athleticism takes over and they make SCTop 10 plays in waves.

The only way to lose this game is early foul trouble and poor shooting. Shoot 45% or > from two land and 37% or > from three land and don't get out rebounded by more than 6-7 and we are in good shape. Team should press non-stop with Dunn getting 5-6 minutes because the Joey's guards can't take pressure from 6 players the entire game. G probably won't press but I think it would be very diifcult for Joey's thin guard rotation to handle.

I wanted to kill Kellogg after the UMass game. His antics were through the roof. In my eyes, he's the biggest complainer in the league.
CoachD, how can Phil 'game plan' for certain refs when you get that info a max two-to-three hours before tipoff?

I believe Joe DeMayo is a La Salle grad. He did the game last season with DJC and David "slow whistle" Walker.

Officiating. I just hate it when officials needlessly influence the outcome especially at the end of games.
Last weekend's Dayton - Temple game (and I was rooting for the Owls) had 30 seconds of officiating
craziness. I thought I was watching the Munich Olympics. Also, The foul call against
Peterson in the Bonnies game is another example. I have watched that replay 10 times
and cannot figure out what was going on.
