I don't get why anyone is getting worked up about whether there was a direct question or not. It's pretty obvious that he doesn't have a waiver right now, and that Georgetown wishes that he did. It's a fair assumption that, behind the scenes, we're doing whatever we can, which might not be much. I’m not worked up about it, and am not fomenting any theories about media questions. But I think it’s fair to note how little we know about the process. My guess is the Admin feels that little comment is the best comment, which may be correct.

About half of Coppin State’s made 3s were from more than 5 ft beyond the arc. Not sure who expects any team to close that shot out against very mobile guards who are more dangerous driving than spot of shooting from absurd range. Still a valid question about why so many shooters get hot against us, but there’s only so much we should even try to do against that shot. For the most part, you let the guy heave that up and worry more about the drive. Totally agree. Those were low percentage shots that went in this game. If one of them had missed, if one free throw had been made, if an intelligent foul had neen committed - all this discussion would be different. None of rhode did happen but it is not time to run up the white flag.

Isn’t that a similar philosophy to the Princeton Offense? It is. I didn't say that was the route we needed to go but we need something, anything, that resembles an offense vs. "actions". Very good interview here, he considers the system a pressing offense. I absolutely love it

Pros and cons have all been stated. But the lack of an offensive of defensive scheme just scares me. Offensively the few plays we ran were so poor and lacked any sense of cohesion. I guess our defensive scheme was full court press but that was clearly a failed experiment.
There is definitely talent. And I know it’s the first game with a new squad, but this didn’t look like a well coached team. Love or hate Dixon but the guy has a plan and strategy and I couldn’t say the same for the Hoyas.
We got the win and all that but man this is going to be a long and ugly season based on last night. There is just no sugar coating it.

I thought the team played pretty well for a first game. We have talent! To me, Murray displayed some Derrick Rose type characteristics. We will get better as we develop chemistry. AKOK is wonderful. Our center has to be more patient. He is too much in A rush and makes bad decisions. I was pleased generally. So glad we won. Brandon Murrray being compared to Derrick Rose and Wayne Bristol called a "gifted player" within the last few posts in this thread - less than 24 hours after barely beating Coppin State in OT. The Thompson/Ewing-first fans are here and in effect, nice work, fellas! Hoyaboya, I am who I am. No shame on my game. He didn't have a great game but I like his style of play! Go on with your bad self!

I guess you didn’t notice all the half court traps using the halfcourt line and sideline as an extra defender. To me that was the more interesting development that I believe they are working on. The pressing and traps make sense given our length and rim protection (Q, Akok, Mutombo, e0) I think eventually Akok is the key to making everything work as the disruptor or interceptor. But its going to take some time for everything to gel

Don't look now but back to back victories over Mount St Mary's and Navy, CSU is up to 2-2 and about to jump into the KemPom Top 300.

So you want Georgetown fans to be excited about winning in OT, at home, against a team that might break into the KenPom top 300? Year 6 of the Patrick Ewing era, ladies and gentlemen!

No, I just wanted to give you one more opportunity to slam our program. Troll.

Most are saying that Coppin will end of better than their preseason ranking. Besides it's good for GTown that our OOCs outplay their current position. It shouldn't have taken OT but most of us are past that now that we are fully loaded. Yr6 and counting🤷🏾♂️
