Re: Jihad and Chalmers

Mark, too funny.  I just posted this!  I should have scanned down and looked 
at the subject headings I guess!

I am giving Jihad a lot of slack though as he is running the offense, and 
does not yet know what he is doing.  Starting this week after final exams, 
he better take a crash course and come before practice and stay late and 
watch more tape then he thought possible.  If January comes around and he is 
dribbling for half the shot clock, Huggins can not afford to play him 30 
minutes a game.  Of course, in terms of team success, can UC afford not to 
play him 30 minutes a game regardless?  The offense looks better with Chadd, 
but I don't think he can play much with his back.  And Jihad dribbling might 
be better than the White/Kirkland PG experience of last year.  At least it 
is a toss up!  :)

Subject: [UC Basketball] Jihad and Chalmers


Does anyone else notice the comparison of Jihad and Lionel Chalmers last 
year at Xavier.  They both dribble all over the court with no destination in 
mind, then end up launching an ill-advised shot.  This results in their four 
teammates standing around wondering what to do on the court.
