What if Petrino got in the wishbone and never threw the ball?

That is basically what we are seeing with Pelphrey. He came in and told us he would run and press and we would see a turnover driven team. Yet we sit in a zone and run a slow NON-MOTION offense. These are his players folks. He did inherit a large team and we were succesfull in this offense and D. But these are his players all his players and we stink. We have no point guard and we do not screen for Clark and Washington might as well sit on the bench cause he never touches the ball. I hate to vent and not be positive but gosh.. He talks about discipline and im ok with that but these are the guys he recruited.

Well geee. Let's just press all game and stay in man to man so we can't play the 2nd half. Great post!

we have a point guard that has played exactly TWO college basketball games. i think he's gonna be a good player for us, if you want to write him off already but he's got the tools.

EPIC FAIL

Really... That is an argument. You do realize that other teams press and play all game right. It is called depth. But we don't have depth because he is suspending everyone, everyone that he has recruited!

So we have had 6 players every game since Pelphrey has been at Arkansas. Wow thanks for bringing that to my attention. I am not calling for a press i am asking why we give Pelphrey a pass on what he said he was going to do. His own words were uptempo pressure.. Correct or not??

i don't want to argue but you cannot run with anyone with 6 freakin players out there, especially when Cox is getting a ton of minutes. I agree with what you are saying but wait till we have more bodies.

I agree man. I do.. My point is why do we not have more bodies. I think discipline is important but these are guys he recruited. You don't see other big time programs (yes we are historically a big time b-ball program) suspending half of their team. Its crazy.

when Stephen Cox gets double digit minutes you really have to take things with a grain of salt. No knock on him, he busts his ass out there, but he's not a D-1 calibur player. The fact he's having to log that many minutes tells you how poor our depth is right now.

Your post makes me want to 

[AirRebel]

You could not find a more beat down, short handed team than Pels KY team during Rick P.'s first year.
Yet Coach P pressed, ran, shot 3's, and did everything he said he was going to do.
You don't learn to play "40 minutes of Pel" by making excuses about why you can't.

[thirtythree]

Tell me these people breathe air like we do. I am beginning to wonder.

[AirRebel]

Watch the Fox Sports show on the "unforgettables".
After Sutton ran KY basketball into the dirt, you can see how to rebuild a program.
Pel seems to have learned NOTHING.
Good luck Clarke.

Thus making your opinion that of an idiot, Math

[AirRebel]

How many are shown on the Hog roster???

The only problem I have with Pel's idea of basketball is to not use screens. RC should be getting two or three screens every possession to wear his man down knowing that is what the other team is going to try to take away. Not only does this open RC up for more shots but it wears on the other team plus it WILL open things up for RC to pass to the big guys when they try to switch off of the screens.

Seriously?

[RazorBacker215]

You guys are right, I am wrong, I watched the Louisville game and they didn't use screens but it has been brought to my attention that there were plenty of screens tonight. I apologize.
