       I think SB should take a page out of Albany's book and maybe not
       start the season against top-20/big conference teams. Use the
       beginning of the season to work on the basics, like running an
       efficient offensive and getting good shots. Starting the season
       1-5 (even though I think they almost beat UConn) has gotta be
       discouraging and it seems like they never dug themselves out of
       that hole.

       Game 27: at Binghamton 2/15

       It’s a sad end to Ty’s career. He was a nice reserve his first
       two years and, while he had some head scratchers, he still
       played an important role in our success as a junior. This year,
       it seems as though Boals has seen enough of him - nothing
       inside, too many turnovers, not enough on defense, poor shot
       selection a lot of the time. Tonight, 6 minutes, 3 fouls (1 a
       weak tech) and almost no contributions. Saintel had a nice first
       half, but the four other seniors combined for 5 points.
       Just not enough firepower or consistency.

       I agree.  Seems like a nice kid, but since his surge in the 1st
       half of last season, it's been straight downhill for him.  Poor
       basketball IQ and athleticism just not showing up. 'Tis a shame.
       Although Olaniyi makes a lot of freshmen mistakes, he shows lots
       of potential and he and Yeboah will be the core of the team next
       year.   Point guard worries me tremendously.  Cornish, who has
       abundant energy and athleticism, is just plain out of control
       too much, and that is a position that requires discipline as the
       quarterback of the team.  On the other hand, as I watch McKenzie
       closely, he lacks athleticism, and is downright slow - certainly
       more in control than Cornish, but can't see him being the
       starting PG moving forward.  For whatever reason, Almonacy has
       fallen out of favor, and he'll probably wind up transferring I'd
       imagine, if he's looking to continue his playing.  Personally,
       I'd play Almonacy now over McKenzie.
       Saintel played a really good game last night - tremendously
       athletic, just needs to finish better around the rim generally.
       That steal and dunk last night was the highlight of the game.
       Also, Chef did some good things early in the game last night.
       He's raw, but I definitely see potential there.

       Last night it seemed that Binghamton was able to consistently
       run high screen and rolls, resulting in open layups. What I
       don't understand (in watching every SB AE game) is why it is so
       difficult for SB to get high percentage shots. (Boals said the
       team missed a lot of good looks last night. I didn't see very
       many.)
       Also, on further consideration, Boals has to give Garcia minutes
       at the expense of one of the seniors. Ochefu has benefited from
       the game time, and I think Garcia will benefit from the
       experience going into next season.

       I agree on all fronts Oldseawolf. Especially with Almonancy.
       Big mistake not playing a local product. Coach Boals has a lot
       to learn.  I personally think coach B is NOT a HC but more of an
       assisstant.

       I too, am disappointed with his effort this year, but I think we
       need to give him 1 year, with HIS recruits.  I think we were all
       led to believe that this year would be much better, given last
       year's results.  But looking back on it, he leaned heavily on
       Woodhouse, as he should have, but this year, we have no
       leadership on the court at all.  Every team lives or dies with
       its quarterback.  Let's see what next year brings.

       I'll reserve judgment on Boals for now. Not saying I completely
       disagree with you, but he deserves a longer leash. He did a nice
       job with last year's team.
       On your other point, I'd have to think that very few are
       clamoring for more Almonacy. Granted, I'm surprised he's been
       DNP'd entirely, but I think that's mostly on merit. He has
       looked disinterested; maybe that's just on the outside. I could
       see him getting some bit time, but that Iroegbu has played the
       point when Mac and Cornish have been in foul trouble speaks
       volumes about how far Almonacy has fallen ... assuming he's not
       injured of course.
       And if you have a problem with them not playing him simply
       because he's local, then you should take a close look at the
       recruits on our radar. Nobody's local. Problem with that or no?
       I do not because the Long Island hoops landscape is pretty
       barren in general. Let's get the best guys we can, regardless of
       their place of origin.

       Checkmate. Coach Boals absolutey should be playing Almonacy over
       Cornish or McKenzie. Boals wont because he didnt recruit
       Almonacy . Coach P was widely liked and popular on long Island
       because he did have a couple of local products from L I on his
       team. Woodhouse had a nice following when he was here, so does
       Almonacy ..
       Last year team was not his team. It was still Pikiell so, I give
       Boals very little credit for their season.
       I have to give coach Boals one more season as well before I make
       a final judgement call on him, but from what I am seeing of his
       play calling and use of timeouts, he is as green as they come..

       averaging 33 points per game for Half Hollow Hills .He has no
       offers from Stony Brook. Now could that be because of his
       grades? Possible.. Maybe someone with some info can tell me if
       this is the case or not.. HH plays Ward Melville next week in
       the 2nd round of the playoffs..
