Re: Question about our coaches

Here's a question: Would you rather have Pehl for two more years or Garrett Stutz for one?

I'd take Pehl. Stutz might have a little better offensive game, but looks absolutely clueless on the floor other than being gangly long. Austin carries himself better athletically, just needs experience/confidence IMO.

Pehl, just because Stutz is so unpleasant to the eye.

Re: Question about our coaches

We are good on coaching, but sending Pehl to a big man's camp over the summer would be ideal.

The whole issue with the center position on this team is the head coaches comfort level with the player's he has. Pehl started a few of the games after Lucas got hurt, but was never given meaningful minutes. A true big man has to be given an opportunity to get into the flow of a game - not many can come in for 4 minutes a half and produce a double-double. I know that MANY feel that Pehl was overmatched and lost on the court during his playing time. You can go back and look at the comments about Jordan and see exactly the same thing. Both were not given enough time to get into the flow. Hopefully next year, our team will be more comfortable providing minutes to Pehl and Tuttle and get away from the 4 (or 5 guard) line-ups.

Re: Question about our coaches

A lot of you are trying to compare Jordan to Austin here, that is not a fair comparison. Austin is a far better athlete than Jordan, but Jordan had far better court awareness. Austin can't just hit the weight room and dramatically improve over the summer, he really is pretty good athletically already, you can always get stronger but his strength isn't a weakness of his. What he needs is high level competition all summer so that he get better court awareness.

Hopefully Pehl plays a ton of minutes in the PTL. That would be an opportunity to get into game flow and react instead of thinking.

Re: Question about our coaches

Follow-up on the big man camp - $1,600 includes hotel & camp. You have to cover tranportation and food in Hawaii. Sounds like a deal if you can gather the $$$.

Limited to 40 college players (first come first served). The camp also hod HS & pro camps at the same time.
