Re: I think it's basketball season

[Bearcat Fan]

actuallt those who have been paying close attention to huggins whole career realize that early on he was considered a defensive AND offensive genius. He brought the use of the high post and motion offense to mainstream college basketball. No one said we needed a better offense in 2000 did they, how about 2001? Since then we just havn't had extremely talented offensive players. It is a players joib to put the ball in the basket, that is the bottom line. Granted, some plays look sloppy, but again, the players run them. Watch our guys set screens (refer to video from last year). We set the weakest screens in D1.

I don't believe in deifying a coach - my strongest criticisms of him have been that I don't feel he was a very good offensive coach - hardly news to anyone who has followed the program over the years.
 
How this is an "insult", I'll never know.

True fans know who Ed Jucker was but almost every email you send out tries 
to insult Huggins in one way or another. He's gone, you should be happy, 
even though I'm not sure what your dislike for him is? But, anyway Huggins 
did alot for the program and the university. Lets look forward to this 
season and quit bashing on him and other people who are on this forum.
