It seems to me that many here are WAY too quick to talk like the sky is falling.
1. Questioning the ability of the Big East coach of the year as voted by his peers. I don't need to list his peers, they know good coaching better than ANYONE here.
2. Setting your expectations based on the coaches preseason pep talk is a bad idea. Heath knew we couldn't pound the boards and defend as well, so he wanted to run the ball more. Season started and it was obvious we lost Ron Anderson. His 8 boards a game would have been in addition to the boards we are already getting because he got the balls no one on our team could. He had fundamental rebounding skills, knew how to gain position on defense under the basket and most of all he gave us senior leadership.
3. I do agree with one thing, and that is that Fitz is seriously strugling right now. If that guy isn't hitting the three ball at 50%+ he is a liability. He doesn't attack the rim, can't really jump, cant move his feet, and my four year old has better hands. I love the guy and pull for him, and I thought he turned a corner earlier this year, but good competition has uncovered his faults.
