Break away from the Ferry system? Ha ha.

Personally I don't care who shoots, who scores,etc. I care about winning.

I disagree my friend.  Winning is all about who takes the shots and the quality of shots they take.  Developing plays and teaching screens for your 50% three point shooter, rather than having your 30% three point shooters with the green light to hoist shots, will give you a greater probability of winning.

FAM, as I remember he switch after receiving much criticism over the decision after the disaster non conference schedule.  You are definitely right about the excuses he used last season and blaming his players.  Do you all remember this diatribe after Robert Morris butt whopping. This was the point where Ferry lost many in the fan base.  Nobody can tolerate anymore excuses like this for not winning.  If this team does not win this year it is on Ferry and his staff.  Period!

A lot of people on this board were in favor of moving Micah to the point, based on his passing, but now have amnesia. I said before it happened that his handle wasn't strong enough to play the point. To play the point, your handle has to be strong enough that you don't have to think about it. Think about TJ. When your handle is not good enough, you have to think about it, instead of the rest of the game. This affected his shooting. A 2 doesn't have to have as strong of a handle as a 1 does.

Well based on your post you are either talking about me, El Duque, FAM or you.  I remember that El Duque was skeptical from the get go.  Don't remember about you or FAM.  I never denied that I bought the Ferr Kool Aide that it would give Mason more and better shots because he had the ball in his hands.   That did not happen, and it soon, however,  became evident to me and most that it was a failed experiment.  Not sure why you would refer to that as having amnesia. 
 

Nah, wasn't talking about you guys, just that there were plenty of posters who loved the idea, none of whom admitted to it after it blew up in Ferry's face. I know ED was skeptical of the move. I think it played a big role in the disasterous start to the season. They don't seem to have any "eureka" ideas in the works for this season, so I'm cautiously optimistic, although nothing would surprise me. I can see this team being a 10 win squad if certain things go wrong, then again, if they can get the defense to just an average level, I could see them being a surprise team in the league. Can't afford any injuries to the bigs though.
