RE: 11/9 Coaches Show
Thoughts on FD: New coach for first time in 27 years, HS coach last year. Trying to get HS films from last year, and verbal scouting from Villanova game on Friday night. NEC smaller conference, but having been in the smaller conference, but no one knows much about them and what they are going to do. They don't have any losses, just come in and play, nothing to lose, everything to gain, probably one of biggest crowds they will play in front of all year. Haven't added anything in recently, but Gabe is sick so don't like to teach anything without everyone. May have Flu, getting tested tomorrow. So watched film, worked on defense, and refined what we do.
10 different guys played 11 minutes against Newman, but mixed up some combinations, especially without Clevin. Ellis in early foul trouble. Stutz and Durley together. Clevin, Toure, David, Demetric and Hatch as perimeter players, with Ellis, Blair, Stutz, Durley. 9 guys, but could change, based on those that drop off, or pick up. Stutz used his size to get good shots. Jumping better, especially on 2nd jump. Dribble move disallowed, but was pretty cool. Highly coachable, motivated. Very soft hands. Has worked hard on lower body getting body under him, and looking at comparison between last year and this year. 218 last year, 238 and more athletic this year.
