Re: The Bright Side of Not Being in Brooklyn Now
This article (https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/newyork/news/police-suspect-bashed-man-over-the-head-with-a-metal-pipe-at-queens-subway-station/) from February 19 says 266 incidents of subway crime year to date (all of which are bad, of course, but not all of which are violent). For ease of calculation, l...

Re: The Bright Side of Not Being in Brooklyn Now
You can look at FBI data here: https://cde.ucr.cjis.gov/LATEST/webapp/#/pages/explorer/crime/crime-trend You can use the explorer tool to look at trends from 1985 (earliest year available) through 2022 (latest year available). Violent crime in the US has dropped dramatically since a high in 1990 or ...

Re: This Season - A Tale of Shooting (or Lack Thereof)
I’m not shocked if our dunks were down, but I’d see that more as a sign of the offensive system being broken by the bad outside shooting. It’s not like Davidson’s dunks have come from our players dunking over defenders—usually they come off of passes to an open guy in the lane.

Re: This Season - A Tale of Shooting (or Lack Thereof)
We finish the year at 31.375%. That's probably enough to finish better than 300th. Poor shooting (especially from three) seemed to clearly be the biggest problem this season. I don’t agree with the complaints I’ve seen about athleticism. Davidson has had a lot more success with teams that had athle...

Re: In Game: at St. Joe's
No one else could get more out of this young group of student athletes. You’re probably defining “throwing the players under the bus” differently than I am. For example, I consider the statement above to be an example considering the team just posted a losing record. Essentially “we posted a bad re...

Re: In Game: at St. Joe's
I am really worried that some of the lame excuses I’m reading on here are coming from the staff, who need to be owning the last two seasons and not whining about the world they live/work in or—especially—throwing their players under the bus. I worry about my memory as old age approaches (or has alr...

Re: In Game: at St. Joe's
I don’t see “the coaches genuinely but wrongly believed both that the players had improved their shooting and that the team was deep” as a very strong defense of coaching ability. I don’t think it’s fair to Bob to argue for an analogy to his first few years. Davidson was in a totally different (and ...

Re: In Game: at St. Joe's
Lee’s departure was a surprise to me, but so was the fact that he had to complete military service by a certain age—a fact that definitely shouldn’t have been a surprise to our coaches. Jones’s departure was very predictable. As was Brajkovic’s. Lanier didn’t play much and I hadn’t heard of any hope...

Re: In Game: at St. Joe's
Also, to be clear, I don’t find the roster to be so bad that we couldn’t win a lot more games. And had Skogman not been hurt, Davidson might have won several more games. Before we lost and posters were lamenting the lack of athleticism, someone had posted that we looked like the quicker team. This s...
