Jacobsen is 100% stupid for not putting JE and EC both in the starting lineup!

Re: Jacobsen is 100% stupid for not putting JE and EC both in the starting lineup!

I am pretty much done defending Jake. I really don't know what he has against our best player (EC), but he has ruined his senior year...along with JJ's and Viet's. There was a bad staredown at the end of the game btwn EC and Jake and I wonder if this won't fester into more. Play EC and play Carlton. If Jake is being stubborn or tying to prove a point to EC and / or CR, he is doing at the expense of the team.

Yeah, take the player's side who loafs on defense, gets outrebounded by guards, makes fouls dozens of feet from the ball, and plays when he wants to.

All day long and twice on Sunday. How you can always seem to minimize the importance of EC is baffling to me. Is this coach Jake?

Matt's got it right. He and Ben may not be getting a long but EC does not appear to be completely into the game. He and Jake had a stare down at the end of the game. I am very disappointed in the lack of leadership being displayed by this team.

The guards can't dribble drive so I would think a high screen once in a while might give them a chance to penetrate and break the defense down. I didn't see any of that today, it is like the guards just play catch because they can't do anything.

I agree, JE and Coleman should play together with Koch also, go big and make the other team adjust. The inside game is all UNI has and I don't see them trying to exploit it.

Hellen Keller could draw up a better offense then UNI has.

Re: Jacobsen is 100% stupid for not putting JE and EC both in the starting lineup!

leadership starts at the top and i'm not seeing it. This team is flat out confused and I blame that on Jake, not EC. He was not responsible for losing his point guards, but he is responsible for losing his team. Matt's not right to blame this on EC. Remember, he was benched to start his senior year and has yet to log enough minutes to ever believe he is supposed to be the leader of this team. Yet I see him hustle, rebound, pass and, yes, make a couple mistakes a game. Josten made at least 3 bad mistakes today, but yet he wasn't immediately pulled from the game to a big scowl or chewing out...not that he should have been. But niether should Coleman. Stop using him as your scapegoat for this season...as ugly as it is, it would be Sam Weaver ugly without EC.

Well, it's a new month (February) here on Panthernation, and, much as I did in January, I will take it upon myself to once again bestow the STUPID POST OF THE MONTH AWARD to the Panthernation "fan" who calls out our best player, who has played his heart out for 4 years, who leads the team in points, rebounds and assists(!), who has shut down other post players all year long and says he "loafs"

Congrats.

Scapegoat for the season? Can I get a quote on that?

**Snivel, snivel** Shirking leadership responsibilities because of lower than expected minutes would 100% selfish and immature. FWIW, I do not think Coleman is still pouting about sitting earlier in the year.

Josten made mistakes, but his mistake are made at full speed, non-stop hustle. When Coleman makes mistakes they generally come from lack of focus and lack of hustle. One deserves reprimand the other guidance.

Careful, you might be deemed a "Hawk," "Clone", or "Drake" fan.

Re: Jacobsen is 100% stupid for not putting JE and EC both in the starting lineup!

you guys are right...I finally see the light. Coleman is a whiny, lazy, heartless baby and we'd be so much better without him. He makes mistakes at half speed and deserves to be treated like a 15 year old when he makes said mistake. Keno's gotta challenger for coach of the year. Even with the dead weight of a senior who leads the team in almost every HUSTLE stat, Jake has "guided" our team to a 15 win season. I was disgusted to see that Coleman couldn't muster one single stat in the last 4 minutes today!

That's right. That's exactly what I said. Thanks for helping me put my true feelings into words. You rock.
