 I love Julyess Nobles.

He has turned out to be our best free throw shooter, rebounds good for his position, and plays with no fear.

I am not the coach, but I do not understand the purpose of walking the basketball across the half court line.

I would think the faster the ball is taken across the half court line, it would be harder on the defense, other team mates would have more chance to be open, and more time to set up and run plays to get open looks.

Any comments, and I am glad we have J. Noble on our side.

Nobles is the on PG that has been walking the ball across half court.

If you look back a bit,  you'll see people complaining about our tendency to not pick up the ball to start a  dribble until a third of the way down court.

In the end,  it's all a matter of comfort.   If the team is comfortable with extending the clock by not starting the possession for a third of the court, or if they want to walk it up to work their way into halfcourt sets,  so be it.
No cause, ever, in the history of all mankind, has produced more cold-blooded tyrants, more slaughtered innocents, and more orphans than socialism with power. It surpassed, exponentially, all other systems of production in turning out the dead. The bodies are all around us. And here is the problem: No one talks about them. No one honors them. No one does penance for them. No one has committed suicide for having been an apologist for those who did this to them. No one pays for them. No one is hunted down to account for them. It is exactly what Solzhenitsyn foresaw in The Gulag Archipelago: "No, no one would have to answer. No one would be looked into." Until that happens, there is no "after socialism."

If Auburn is dirty so is Gus. You can't have it both ways. Deal with it.

I agree that I like to see faster paced BUT....I think this has more to do with JN showing that he has grown up a little.  Not getting too out of control, pushing it when he can and when he feels that it can be done.  He is really starting to show that this is his team and he is being a leader

I'll say this and he will come out next game and have 10 TO but.....

Against Vandy we got the ball immediately off the shot or miss and pushed it almost every possession.  Seemed to work well to me, even though it was rarely the sole reason for good offensive production.

Walk it, or run it, just win! Pel can coach both ways and win. 8 games over .500 proves this!

Who am I to question the great Peldini?  There is Naismith, Wooden, Krzyzewski, then Pel.
Little known fact, but prior to settling on Guantanamo, the Pentagon wanted to house terror suspects at War Memorial Stadium.  It was deemed to be cruel and unusual punishment and in violation of the Geneva Convention.

I think we are 14-6 this season- with quality wins vs tenn, vandy, seaton hall, and bama. Moral victories not included, but noted

We beat Vanderbilt by pushing the ball up the court.  Throwing it to almost halfcourt when inbounding the ball.   We stopped with about 5 minutes left so we could eat up clock.

I was just kidding. I hope we can do what we haven't been able to do yet, which is handle prosperity. Let's follow one good win with another one. What would it be like to experience a conf winning streak?

I don't think I recall a single team ever running OR walking the ball across half court every possession for an entire game.  Lee Mayberry certainly didn't run the ball up the court all of the time, neither did Corey Beck, or Kareem Reid to name a few.  Every possession in a game is different.

The PG is the floor general and if he feels more comfortable slowing things down, then that's the way he's going to approach the possession.

The worst thing that can happen is a team playing too fast, getting sloppy, and turning the ball over.

The game of basketball, fast or slow, is all about QUALITY possessions.  The speed at which you bring the ball up the court is almost immaterial.
