Old-Timer,

I agree with a lot of what you say, but this was not the year for Gai to be the main low post presennce, Next Year (hopefully) would be that year. Oscar came in this year better prepared to score from the low post, so he was the main option. Not considering the last 2 weeks of the year, Oscar had a very good year. Gai has to improve his game from the low post and his back to the basket offense, and I thought he did improve a bit this year. He needs to improve more next year, and he would be the main option. I posted a few weeks ago that I thought he could be a 20+ per game scorer this year.

I seem to remember a quote from Mcloud that said Gai needs to focus on defense and rebounding this year, and not worry about offense. He did that, and really improved on both accounts. So, Why such a big deal Now on the development of his offense this year. If Gai works hard over the summer, he will have EVERY Opportunity to succeed next year, and would likely be around 20ppg..... but its up to him. If he goes to Michigan, who the hell knows what will happen.

Gai might be frustrated in his role in this years offense, but he has to look to the future to see the opportunity that lies ahead of him if he stays at Fairfield.

Oscar was our #1 low post option because he had some low post moves. Deng Gai does not have a low post game, yet.

Roshown McLeod was not the answer as an assistant coach, if he really wanted to coach and help the Stags and Deng Gai he wouldn't have quit with 4 weeks to go in the season. This board has contained numerous posts saying we missed him. I tend to think his quitting spoke volumes about his commitment.

Anybody have comments about Puma's timing of this article? He was better this year but he still would rather see the Stags lose than win.
