Congrats to Doc Rivers and Celtics. Noticed son Austin standing close during celebration. Austin is said to have a lot of (potential) and should be highly recruited in the class of 2011. Should he be targeted by the Hoyas? It seens that JTIII really like combo guards.

Austin Rivers will not be a Hoya.

Are there hurt feelings involved? By all accounts Doc wanted Jeremiah to stay and thought we were a good fit. An explanation might be useful.

And if we don't get him, who will hit the side of the backboard and perform the superfluous mid-court spin move?

Just no interest from Austin--he really likes Florida and has no interest in Georgetown.

Incidentally, I was pretty sure I saw a quick flash of Jerimiah in the stands during the last minute or so of the game.... can anyone confirm?

Did you guys miss it? Jeremiah was walking around with the NBA trophy in the post-game, did a crazy spin move and then tried to pass it to Kobe Bryant. True story.

everyone pawns this off as a jeremiah move, but almost all of our jtiii guards utilize the top of the key spin move when bringing the ball up and starting our offense. perhaps jr used it more frequently, but this is something the coaches teach, it isn't innate to JR's game

right, i noticed austin and chris do it too, but what the hell is it? I've never seen it except in our offense.

The spin move with no one around triggers an offensive play, I believe. But I could be wrong.
It's getting close to "fist" status. In reality, the fist was a defensive call and I believe just meant man to man. But it is funnier as running the same ineffective offensive play.

i guess it's like a signal to try to get the defender to commit to the side the guy is spinning to, but really works as a misdirection (I say this because I've noticed when they do the spin they almost never pass to the spin side).

Jeremiah made ithis own by adding the telegraphed cross-court pass, or if that were somehow missed or unavailable, the corner shot off the side of the backboard. He should patent that baby.

Yeah the problem wasn't the spin, it's that he came out of it always passing to his right. Something that we all (and everyone on Marquette) knew was coming.
