Bernie is a shill.
Everything he says is for sale.
Maybe Mizzou should start throwing him a few bucks, or offer to pay him in food.

I dunno. Not sure how much of it I disagree with. And I don't like Miklasz. He's a loudmouth who knows little but tries to make it seem like he's an authority on a subject by speaking louder than the next guy. Having said that:
I agree.
I agree.
I agree.
I agree.
I agree.
I agree. Specifically, I think the swing and miss on Post hurt the team this year.
I agree.
I agree.
I agree.

Opinion: For a program that aspires to reach a high standard, Mizzou has been mostly awful and unwatchable this season.
I agree.
quote:
Let's not pretend this is just a unfortunate little stretch of turbulence for Mizzou basketball. There are too many empty seats for home games at Mizzou Arena, which conveys fan unrest – or even worse, ambivalence. And on the court, the performance trend is clearly pointing down.
I agree.
quote:
The constant roster churn is a factor. The steady influx of transfers certainly doesn't foster cohesion … at least I wouldn't think so.
I agree.
quote:
Mizzou's leadership (on the court) seems hard to locate.
I agree.
quote:
All you have to do is watch Saint Louis U. play to see the benefit of having a core group intact for multiple seasons. They play hard, they play unselfishly, and take charge on the floor by giving instructions and making corrections to each other.
I agree.
quote:
However, it's too easy to attribute all of the problems to the transfer rate. There are transfers all over Division I men's basketball. But are you finding the right transfers? Are you coaching them up once they arrive? To me, it seems that the bigger problem runs along these lines: (1) either Coach Haith and his staff aren't astute at identifying and evaluating talent; (2) they can't effectively coach the talent. Or maybe it's a combination of the two.
I agree. Specifically, I think the swing and miss on Post hurt the team this year.
quote:
According to Ken Pomeroy's rankings at KenPom.com, the Tigers turn the ball over on about 19 percent of their possessions, which ranks 210th among Division I teams. Their assist rate – the frequency of posting an assist on a basket – is only 44 percent, which ranks 320th nationally.
Remember how I talked about the trend arrow pointing down? The same applies here. The Tigers had problems handling the basketball last season too. Their turnover percentage ranked 122nd and their assist percentage ranked 233rd.
The turnovers in particular are harmful; Mizzou has scorers. It's remarkable to see them ranked 31st nationally in adjusted offense. That says a lot about the talent of Brown and Clarkson. But think about how effective the Tigers would be offensively if they just tidied up a bit and played cleaner ball? When you're losing nearly 20 percent of your possessions to turnovers, obviously that cuts into your scoring opportunities.
I agree.
quote:
Mizzou's second huge flaw is defense.
I agree.
quote:
That's why Mizzou director of athletics Mike Alden should be asking Haith some hard questions about what needs to be changed going forward in the recruiting approach. What needs to be changed to get Mizzou committed to playing defense, and developing a more cohesive offense. What needs to be done to fill the empty seats at Mizzou Arena and give fans a reason to give a damn.
I agree.

Make that 2 of us. I have sports radio on all day in the office but back when he was on the air, I'd turn the channel. Couldn't even stand to hear his voice, much less his opinions.

Hey, hey. Count me! That's three of us.
And come on, reedo, sports radio all day.. do you mix in some tunes? You know what they say about too much of something.

He didn't say anything in the article that I disagree with. I have season tickets and sold most of mine, because of apathy. They're not fun to watch. Think what you will of Suitcase Mike, but at least his ugly style of basketball was entertaining and the guys looked like they gave a crap about themselves and played like their hair was on fire.

I agreed with all of it. I was just trolling the sunshine pumpers.

Vary rarely. If I'm working on a project that I don't want to be distracted on I will. Otherwise, I'm too lazy to change it to something else.

What did he really say that was wrong? Mizzou basketball IS unwatchable. They do turn the ball over at a horrendous rate.
HCFH has had 3 years of recruiting transfers to this program with limited success. The SEC is no where near the Big 12 when it comes to basketball. 11 conference wins should be a minimum not a goal.

He is dead right with all of his points
Posted on 3/13/14 at 4:33 pm to the808bass
Everything he said is spot on. I don't see the issue

Personally, I think Miklasz is a putz. I got banned from MizzouTalk on the PD site because I criticized his reporting on the whole Painter fiasco-ironic, since on his radio show he'd brag about how much he'd let people vent at/about him on his board there.
And although he makes a lot of valid points in his article, he typically whiffed on the issue of Haith and big men development based on this year's under achieving group. Guess he forgot about Steve Moore, Ricardo Ratliffe, and Alex Oriakhi from the previous years, all of whom progressed big time under Haith's watch-especially Moore and Oriakhi.
The turnover thing I'm not sure is coaching. It might be recruiting, but kids gotta use their heads in games and not make lazy passes or dribble into triple teams, etc.

Even though I'm a Haith supporter this years team is is almost unwatchable. How have they won 22 games? Yes Post was a big swing and a miss and Criswell has been a big disappointment as well. I still have faith in Haith.

Painter's agent owes a lot of money to Bernie.

The thing is I mostly agree with that.
