Hoops tonight, Radford

[James]

imo, lack of physical speed on the defensive side of ball.

Yeah. He came in last night and 30 seconds later, he got caught out of position on defense and gave up a wide open 3 ptr. Coach sat him down and that was it for him for the night. If you can't execute coach's defense, you sit.

I agree that his defense is the reason he didn't play last night (30 seconds doesn't count to me), but if one defensive lapse gets you pulled from the game, then our entire team should be sitting on the bench.

I think coach will slowly work him into the rotation as he gains trust that he's not a complete defensive liability. Kinda what happened last season with Calvin.

im not sure, CB has knocked Viti's lack of defensive skills since he got here. May not see him until Carter Bible College comes to town.

That reeks of Tyson's "they don't know how to practice" comments....

Agree... just like with all teams, better performance gives you a ‘longer leash’.

Just curious what you mean by ‘knocked’. I don’t recall reading or seeing an interview like this.

during his reason for redshirt, article stated it would give David time to work on his defense etc. Then an article at start of season where CB said some good stuff about David maturing, can shoot, has worked on his defense etc. But CB has always been concerned about David's speed and defense. "Knocked" might have been to hard of a word but when I'm not getting playing time and I can shoot lights out, then what is it?

I gotcha. I'd seen the stuff you mentioned here printed, but just thought that maybe there was something else I was missing.

Viti will be a contributor. But would have been a liability against Radford’s guards.

Ladies got curb stomped today. Our two freshman #10 and #12 both those gals need to be together on the court 80-90% of time. #10 can create her own shot. They may take their lumps as true freshman but those two are the faces of the program going forward, next year recruite 5 more like them, then watch out.
