Not having any kind of a letdown today to me is a good sign of developing maturity. Another test Tuesday (Albany beating Canisius is an eye opener).
I have a new t-shirt idea: "SHARE AND CARE" - as in Share the ball, and Take care of the ball.
Speaking of t-shirts....SBU's warmups had "E + R = O". Any ideas on what that meant?

Biggest strategic mistake Siena made today was talking smack to Austin when he was cold early. When he finally made a three right in front of their bench, he turned and said something to them. He was pretty good from that point forward. Don’t poke the bear when he’s sleeping. Saw that when it happened as we were sitting about 10 rows up and I turned to NAD and said something like "look at the stare AB just gave them for trash talking"!  ! |

Great weekend at Mohegan producing 2 wins with a football win sandwiched in between! Priceless!  Right now Grandi is the man! Last year the team struggled with learning the system. They got the ball and were thinking what to do with it. It has become much more instinctive this year and are doing things with the ball knowing where people are and trusting their instincts! On the way out, a man in a Siena jacket stopped me and Congratulated us on playing an excellent game! I thanked him and replied that we would see them again next month in Worcester. He replied quickly: "oh yes at the Hart Center; that's a really tough place to play in"! He must have heard that from McCrybaby! Another big/tall fan (with no gear affiliation) stopped me and commented about how good we played! He then said he thought we could be PL championship caliber! So nice to hear these comments from others not HC related! |

However, if unlimited success is your goal, looking outside of yourself is a strategic error. The most important lesson you must understand that you are 100 percent responsible for your life – the good and the bad. The formula I like to use to explain this concept is: E + R = O
(Events + Responses = Outcome) The basic idea is that every outcome you experience in life (whether it’s success or failure, wealth or poverty, wellness or illness, intimacy or estrangement, joy or frustration) is the result of how you have responded to an earlier event in your life. Likewise, if you want to change the results you get in the future, you must change how you respond to events in your life … starting today. jackcanfield.com/blog/the-formula-that-puts-you-in-control-of-success/Probably just me but this sounds like hocus-pocus, gibberish. |

The bench seems to be getting shorter. Copeland who had been an 8th man only saw mop-up duty on Friday and nothing Sunday. LeSann had his end of first half cameo on Friday - nothing Sunday. Probably a match-up thing with Fisher, but Niego did not play at all in the 2nd half. Six guys got 2nd half minutes.
After I got home I checked the ESPN3 archive and I still don't know why Butler got a technical and neither do the commentators. On the other hand I can say the same thing about Fisher's technical right afterwards. Weekend was definitely worth the double trek

Complete lack of foul trouble yesterday was probably a factor in the shorter bench, at least for Niego. And for Copeland.... you almost couldn't sit down Butler and Grandison the way they were going.
Agree that both the Butler and Fisher techs were dubious at best, phantom at worst.

For the Butler tech, the refs did not want to give either team an advantage, so they took the cowardly, and wrong, path.

With two solid basketball wins and an incredible comeback by the football team against GTown, this was the best HC major sports weekend in a long time. To those with better memories, when was the last HC sports weekend that was as successful?

Well, the three major wins were spectacular, but the women losing to Brown (even with a great scoring output) helped to keep us grounded.

The bench seems to be getting shorter. By way of contrast - and to be tucked away for future reference - BU has eleven players averaging double-figure minutes. And six of them are freshmen. |

I think they may actually have 12 averaging double digit minutes. However, those 12 are shooting 60% from the line. Going to be tough to win a lot of close games with that kind of FT%. |

HC will have to play a tougher FT defense. |

Lehigh and Bucknell are also going 9 deep, each with a couple of freshmen in the rotation.
We have three players averaging 35 minutes a game and I'm quite sure it would be four if Floyd wasn't in foul trouble a couple of times. Grandison has played the whole game in the last two save for a minute of garbage time against Stony Brook. It's a long season and I don't think its a good idea for the guys to be playing this many minutes as fatigue leads to decreased productivity and often injuries. Most teams use the OOC schedule to utilize the roster and develop their rotation for league play. To date, it doesn't appear that is Carmody's plan unless he's already determined that the top 7 is all that he's comfortable playing.
Does anyone know what the story is with Zignorski is he still hurt, is he expected back?

Think he may just have fallen to 10th in the rotation behind the top 7 plus LeSann and Copeland. |

I am not worried about the short bench.
There are many teams that also play few players and have good success, ex Duke and Nova last season.
Our players are all in excellent shape. With the time outs and slow pace, there should not be a problem.
I see Niego’s minutes increasing and the possibility of Copeland playing more based on CBC’s pre season comments.

Hargis another candidate to start earning a few minutes as he gets more comfortable during practice.

Think he may just have fallen to 10th in the rotation behind the top 7 plus LeSann and Copeland. Not sure about Ziggy either, but I'm leaning something medical - At the coaches' night, Coach Carmody mentioned he was having lingering knee issues - With a full year their belts, it's not shocking that Faw or Niego could have passed Ziggy on the depth chart - maybe even Copeland based on some comments I would be surprised if 3rd year player LeSann made that big leapfrog over him unless Ziggy was totally stagnant over the summer - In the Providence game, Ziggy was put in for a short run during that horrific stretch to calm things down. A move that makes more sense for a trusted senior who's health might prevent more than a brief stretch of playing D than a guy that everyone has blown by on the depth chart - During the first radio show, Ziggy was the guest. Not the reward I would hand out to a guy who is getting surpassed by his peers Last year, Ziggy was 7th on the team in minutes. None of the freshmen have come in as studs to bump him down. He either had a horrible summer/fall compared to everyone else or he's not right. Based on the above bullet points, it feels more medical than everyone else's merit rapidly surpassing his. Just one man's take |

My calculation on minutes would be 178 Grandison 170 Butler 175 Green 135 Floyd 108 Faw 766 minutes by the 5 who have started every game --out of 1,000 total player minutes = 76.6% of minutes by starters 23.4% of minutes by bench players However, if you substitute Benzan's 127 minutes for Faw's 108 you get to 785 minutes and that would yield the 21.5% bench minjutes. So, it sounds like this calculation is mis-named. It appears that it is not "bench minutes" but, rather, minutes from players other than the five who have played the most minutes |

If there are 200 minutes per game (40 minutes x 5 players) then the non-starters would average a collective 43 minutes per game to reach 21.5% of total minutes. |
