Hindsight is as they say.  I actually did not have a problem with him trying "The experiment."  Let me say that almost ALL of us, and I do mean all of us, complained about DC last year and his poor play at the point guard.  His poor passes, poor shooting at times, and poor decision making created a lot of problems.  So I didn't have  a problem with him trying this and hey, it didn't work.  My problem with this are the following:
1.  Is he that bad of a judge of bball talent that again on the post-game show he said that HE SAID, that it would take 10 games for things to pan our or for him to get to know the team, or something like that.  That is truly said,  I can not imagine a "good" coach, most in the top 50 Believing that.
2.  With #1, if that is true for him which it obviously is, he didn't see the problem with this switch whether he won some games against some cupcakes or not.
3.  He needs to play his only senior for stability - he competed last year and did well most of the time and this year he can do the same.  
4.  Again, since it takes him 10 games to get to know his team he definitely will take 4-5 years to field a good one.  That is what it took at LIU.  Sure glad he knows where the gym is by now.
5.  Food for thought:  If the AD was getting ready to fire RE, TJ sure was smart to leave.  He would be a better coach thatn Ferry ...could you imagine those arguments from the bench ..and believe me, I was angry he left the program but obviously it was best for him and our program can go down hill with or without him!

DC has struggled when he tries to work the offense around his own historically inaccurate three point shot. He has also had flashes when he has played like a floor general and done a good job of leading. He still, in my opinion, is not a top flight A-10 guard and clearly you can NOT win consistently when his chucking starts you in a 10-0 deficit. But if you get the kind of play from him that you got Saturday and Stevens and even Ridenour also contribute effectively then, yeah, you'll be OK.

Mason at the point IMHO was never a good idea. Experiment should have ended after game 1.

Ultimately Stevens or Ridenour this year and MAYBE Castro next year will become a better answer for us. Meantime, ride the pony while it's winning.

Good to see Robinson step up. Powell had an off day but he's now getting acclimated to a new role so he will bounce back. He is NOT a center. Another dumb experiment thankfully over.

To win in the A-10, you need solid PG play, a good big, and a decent shooter. I think we have potential to have middle of the conference talent at all three.

Now it's up to the coaches to make it work.

Go Dukes.
