On Boone and OSU’s future in the frontcourt.
Boone being inconsiderate is directly to boynton offense being inconsiderate.
When we passed it around the assist went up. When.
We short 5 for 20 in 3’s. Thats 15 points. Most of the time we shoot 50% on 2. Thats 20 points.
If a team double team boone well we stopped doing in side game. Which is wrong. You want an unbalanced defense. We just never attacked it well.

- a long and distinct period of history with a particular feature or characteristic:
It does seem an eternity these days since Boynton became head coach. The Peter Principle says that ‘we rise to the level of our incompetence.’ In our well meaning head coach’s case, he has surpassed it. jmho
GO POKETTES!!!
I think you’re overstating his value. Sure he could block a few shots but he never tried to deny his man the ball and also would lose track of him if the opponent held the ball for more than 20 seconds. Also rarely hustled back on defense when he missed a shot. Also a very poor passer out of a double team. Usually threw it away. Only thing he provided on offense was some inside presence when singled him on defense. That in itself does not make him a player we will miss next year.
