At least it sounds like he's addressing his drinking issue. 9 sectionals and 3 title appearances. He'll get hired somewhere. Like we all know the only thing you can't do as a coach is lose. Everything else is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, Kelvin Sampson, Rick Pitino and Bruce Pearl are all working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he can continue down the road to sobriety. No matter how long it's been since the last drink,you are always an alcoholic. I view as suicide, one shot at a time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High school basketball is about molding young people. Being a mentor. Being an example. Studies show that young people are choosing alcohol as their preferred vice of choice. School board officials have to get re-elected endorsing an alcoholic, even a recovering one, may be a tough sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bill Green was the coach of George McGinnis, then he is tied with Doug Mitchell at 4 players. Green had both Lyndon and Jay share the award in 87.

NotIThatLives Posted May 7, 2023 Report Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) @Boiler Sam and @btownqb To disparage Romeo's high school career after playing injured at IU and his NBA career very much unwritten, its important to note he's only 94 points shy of Steve Alford's nba career scoring totals. The point. His post high school career has no bearing on how great it was. And it was friggin great. New Albany sought out competition and Romeo carried them. Sometimes triple teamed. He was so elusive, he would slip through guys and still get buckets. Edited May 7, 2023 by NotIThatLives 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I did ask the parameters of that list, if we are including college/NBA.. sure he moves down the list... But if we are talking straight HS.. he is quite a bit higher than someone like Larry Bird. Who obviously dwarfs Romeo post HS, I get that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oden probably disrupted 50 shots a game on the defensive end. So, no, I don't agree. Conley was the most skilled player on that team and absolutely elite, he's proven that.

Obviously Oden couldn’t stay healthy, but that’s the only thing holding them both back from having really good NBA careers on top of all the other accomplishments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 I'm wondering if that list was made like Pre 2017. That is the only reason I could think of for Romeo not being in the Top 15. TKR should be very high, as well. Same with Furst. But, where was Bailey? who should be #1.... Putting Larry Bird #1 sort of shows the true lack of knowledge, imo.

McPherson was a year older than them but yeah, having a guy that was a 3 year D1 starter and averaged double figures all of those years as your third option is pretty scary.
