Subject: Davey Contract?
In reply to: JCard 's message, "Basketball State" on 22:39:49 12/01/03 Mon

1 point over Holy Name at half clearly shows a lack of concentration, focus or something non-physical. That's a team we should dominate. One problem with us constantly running the flex and never fast breaking is that we don't get easy baskets. This is meaningless when we play Arizona, Kansas and (as rumored for next year) North Carolina, but with teams at our level and below it really hurts us, as maybe happened last night (I wasn't there).

As for Davey, I like him for the reasons you mentioned and hope he stays around but I'd like him 10x more if he took the handcuffs off his players and let them run and let loose a little bit. They'd develop better too.

When does Davey's contract expire, at the end of this season or next season?

I think Davey's contract was extended to 2003-2004; i looked for an article at the website to verify that but couldn't find one. As for the offense, it's been a source of exasperation for a long time. The Flex does make sense against teams who have a big edge in size and talent, but there are times that pushing the ball makes sense too. Last night, From DLEw's description, the Broncos forced it into Denison, Niesen et al. This in turn opened up the outside in the 2nd half, where Rohde and Rohe hit open shots. I'm not sure this will be that effective against teams with more size in the interior.
When you mention handcuffs, I'm forced to show my age on comment on the shckles placed on very talented Bronco teams by Carroll Williams. It was frustrating to see teams with Rambis, McNamara,Londale Theus, Carl Pierce etc playing slowdown against teams that did not have as much of a talent edge as Carroll thought. He improved as the 80's progressed, but the 70's were brutal at times. Did a great job as AD too.
