    Lick not sure about PTL

    http://gazetteonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090302/SPORTS/703029913/1008


    Lickliter said most players will stay near Iowa City this summer, but he's not sure if he wants them to play in the Prime Time League in North Liberty.

    "I wish we could find a way for them to really compete three or four nights a week," Lickliter said. "I've said this a few times, one of the things that I think was such a great benefit at Butler was that everybody came back in the summer or least part of the summer. We had pros and all and that, and if you lost, you had to go to the west gym so you were playing pick up games where there was a game to eight, you were competing hard and there was something on the line. You didn't want to lose, you didn't want to have to work your way back in.''
    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

      i guess i really dont know of a better option, though. its not like butler which is in indy and has a ton of great players around with whom to play in the offseason.

        Sort of reminds me of last year when coach Warren pulled the WBB team out of the GameTime league in favor of team scrimmages on campus. I suppose if you're trying to build up a program, you look for creative, but legal ways to turn the "off-season" into a part of the season.

        It will be interesting to see how Lickliter and Randy Larson work things out, and whether Larson will attempt to continue the PTL if Lick pulls the Hawks out.

          He wants a way for his players to play good competition and keep them around in the summer. Isn't that what the PTL does? If he doesn't think the players give enough effort, then that is on him and his players. I was very impressed with how hard some guys played last year. I thought Ali could have been MVP. The kids from smaller schools play very hard. If there is a problem at all, it may be some of the older UofI players who have played in this thing for years and years.

            It must have helped the players from UNI...............
            Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.

            Before you wonder "Am I doing things right," ask "Am I doing the right things?"

              Yup, and Bluder hasn't complained about her team's participation in the GTL.
