In his defense the offense was humming and we completely shut it down. On the other hand if we execute the game plan it's not that close.

And if we keep playing at that tempo and miss some shots, we're crucifying Avery for not adjusting.

I'm just happy we won

The guy in the gif in on Twitter. His name is Cameron Luke Ratliff @fluffopotamus88.

Maybe he can be our new face guy but better. I hated that face guy. He wouldn't go away!

RTR! Great win without Sexton.

And those refs were terrible.

They both stink


Justin Coleman was not a bad backup PG. He took care of the ball and was the kind of PG you want closing games out with a lead.

This season at Samford he's averaging 12.6 PPG and 5.7 assists on 45% FG and 40% 3FG. You'd have to be nuts to not want him over the current backup PG on this team.

I maintain that that is the biggest mistake Avery has made to date.

Coleman did not take care of the ball. All he ever did was drive to the bucket and kick it out to the opposing team. He never shot above 30% here.

I don't think he's any better than AJ. I couldn't care less what his stats at Samford are.

Regardless of if we had Coleman, my move would be the same.

PG- Sexton
SG- Ingram

Rotate Petty for one of them at a time to keep both fresh, and if needed put Herbert out there.

There's only 80 minutes to go around at the backcourt spots, so have Sexton and Ingram play for 30 and Petty for 20 + 5/10 at the 3.

You can shite on the FG% all day, but in his last year he had a far better AST/TO ratio than anybody on this team. Not sure what you're remembering.

The point is, Coleman didn't just come in and dribble the ball arse-backwards and burn up the entire shot clock when the ball was in his hands. And sadly I almost prefer when he does that, because whenever Junior tries to do anything with the ball he either puts up a wild shot or turns over the ball in a very untimely manner. Coleman was also someone that could always get open and close out a game from the FT line. Give me Coleman every day of the week.

Not to mention, we played an AWFUL pace for Coleman's game. I wouldn't say we're run and gun, but this pace would've fit Coleman's game a hell of a lot better.

Congrats to Coach Avery and the Bama BB Team. That was a BFD.

One thing I did like about Coleman was his ball handling. He didn't have any trouble pushing the ball upcourt. Only thing was with his size, he really wasn't physical enough to finish at the rim, and he really never drew much contact. He'd always have his shot blocked; or like TomRTR said, he'd just have to kick it out.

I do miss his FT shooting.

I do agree that this pace would suit Coleman better, and he was good from the line. Do we even know if Avery forced him out though? Maybe he wanted to start, and there's no way he would've started on this team.
