Hold on.
Did Donahue tell Daniels he wasn't going to start or wasn't going to play? Cause if it's the former I don't see how you blame Donahue.
I'll defer to the h00ps weird0s on what was said
Fact is Jordan is a only a PG. O Hanlan at the 3
Heckmann played well first game and in the first half of the this game, I still think he's an okay option.

My compliments for Hanlan were not backhanded. He's out of control at times but he is very, very good, against very strong competition. Still can't play 40 minutes a game.

Heckmann turned over yesterday's game. He doesn't play, and they might win. He is terrible. Touched the ball like 7 times yesterday, 5 of them turned into baskets the other way.

He was out of control once or twice, it was certainly nothing like certain other freshman point guards who are no longer with the program in the second game of their careers (I have nothing against Daniels and wish he was still here, but this is true). He is especially good at getting to loose balls (no entendre), I don't know why this is, but watch for it he's like a magnet.

Solid. No complaints. He's not a very good player but he contributes.

I don't know why people still erroneously assert that Daniels was out of control when they are proven wrong again and again. Averaged 2 turnovers a game as a freshman PG in the ACC.
There were more than a couple times that Hanlan went to the hoop where he probably should have pulled it out. It's far outweighed by the good things he brings to the table, but it can be a momentum killer. Considering that he is a freshman though, you have to be pleased with his play.
We've seen him two games now. He's clearly more talented than Daniels. Still don't think there was any reason to do what the Don did, and he paid for it yesterday. He should have told Heckmann he wasn't going to play.

Let's put it this way - I think if Odio gets Heckmann's minutes yesterday they win.
Odio is one of those guys every team needs - good athlete, hustles, tries hard. Hits the boards best he can, is actually a good post passer, and has the rare nice dunk. I have no complaints with his improvement, especially when I wasn't expecting much.
Heckmann has talent. He just can't dribble or pass. At times his decisions are lazy, at times they are just dumb. It's like he plays basketball with his head on backwards.

Agree with that, still think Heckmann just has mental issues against better teams (not sure why). I think he has the ability to pass and dribble well, but no one can explain his mental lapses. I'd like to see Eddie start today against Dayton and see what he can do. If he's not gelling by the end of the first half, just put Heckmann back in. Maybe it will send a message to Heckmann as well

I think the Don told a player that he was going to play very little because he got all starry eyed over his new PG (what Don did) that caused said player to decide that since his coach decided already that he had no opportunity to earn more minutes, he was leaving.
You don't tell players they aren't going to play unless you want them to leave. You tell them they aren't going to start, but you don't disincentivize them 5 days before the season starts. It was stupid, cost his a backup PG (because I concede that Hanlan is a more talented player) and yesterday cost them a game because he had to go to Heckmann to give Hanlan a breather,

Assuming the coach did something retarded - all the time - is an after effect of TOB/Spaz. You can look at the same exact situation, without being jaded by our football situation and always assuming the worst, and reduced playing time in scrimmages and over the course of the Spain trip could have done the exact same thing as the conversation you assumed happened. Do you think Donahue should have given Daniels equal PT? Knowing the Hanlan is a markedly better point guard?
I completely disagree that Daniels is the difference in w or l yesterday. That makes little sense to me.

My opinion on this has nothing to do with football. And it has nothing to do with how much time he actually gave Daniels. It is what he told him. You tell him Hanlan is going to start (though I might have played both of them with Rahon, the way Jackson has been shooting). You don't tell him his minutes are going to be limited.
If Daniels were on the roster, Heckmann plays less and certainly not in that horrid stretch at the end where he spelled Hanlan. That's enough to win the game. Heckmann was -14 in like 50 key seconds of game time in each half.

As to the game at hand, as you just acknowledged in another post, if Odio played more and I'd even add if Rubin played more, you also reduce Heckmann's minutes. I don't see Daniels defending Jackson going very well. They're both short, but Jackson is a big dude. I don't think it would be a good match up. I'd almost suggest that Moton would have been more helpful in yesterdays game.

You can continue to believe that is assumed and argue semantics to defend the Don on this. Daniels not being on the team will continue to hurt as it did yesterday. He's not on the team because his situation was handled poorly. And frankly these boards are all about narratives and you are certainly a crusader for eliminating all conversation without 7 sources, but let's just say that at least 2 people have already confirmed this for you, and I have heard it from other sources. I, myself, have no inside information on the situation, but I have heard enough, and given the Heslip situation, find the narrative substantially supported. Regardless, I'm not interested in proving anything to you to your beyond a reasonable doubt standard; it's a message board. If you don't like the confirmation you have received, ignore it.
Jackson destroyed everyone that covered him. Couldn't destroy Daniels any worse than he picked apart Hanlan and Rahon to the tune of 31 points. The point about Daniels is on the other end - if he is there, Heckmann doesn't become a primary handler of the rock, turn it over 5 times, and hand away a 14-0 run. Heckmann was the choice because Odio can't handle on the perimeter.

He was out of control once or twice, it was certainly nothing like certain other freshman point guards who are no longer with the program in the second game of their careers (I have nothing against Daniels and wish he was still here, but this is true). He is especially good at getting to loose balls (no entendre), I don't know why this is, but watch for it he's like a magnet.
I don't know why people still erroneously assert that Daniels was out of control when they are proven wrong again and again. Averaged 2 turnovers a game as a freshman PG in the ACC.
There were more than a couple times that Hanlan went to the hoop where he probably should have pulled it out. It's far outweighed by the good things he brings to the table, but it can be a momentum killer. Considering that he is a freshman though, you have to be pleased with his play.
We've seen him two games now. He's clearly more talented than Daniels. Still don't think there was any reason to do what the Don did, and he paid for it yesterday. He should have told Heckmann he wasn't going to play.
Other than things written by homojs, which are usually around 60% reflective of what has actually occurred and 40 or greater percent reflective of a combination of furtherance of the GDF crusade or attempting to fit all BC athletics difficulties into the formula of "person in charge is incompetent or doesn't have the best interest of the program in mind = problem", why do you think Daniels left because of "what the Don did" again?
I think the Don told a player that he was going to play very little because he got all starry eyed over his new PG (what Don did) that caused said player to decide that since his coach decided already that he had no opportunity to earn more minutes, he was leaving.
You don't tell players they aren't going to play unless you want them to leave. You tell them they aren't going to start, but you don't disincentivize them 5 days before the season starts. It was stupid, cost his a backup PG (because I concede that Hanlan is a more talented player) and yesterday cost them a game because he had to go to Heckmann to give Hanlan a breather,
Assuming the coach did something retarded - all the time - is an after effect of TOB/Spaz. You can look at the same exact situation, without being jaded by our football situation and always assuming the worst, and reduced playing time in scrimmages and over the course of the Spain trip could have done the exact same thing as the conversation you assumed happened. Do you think Donahue should have given Daniels equal PT? Knowing the Hanlan is a markedly better point guard?
I completely disagree that Daniels is the difference in w or l yesterday. That makes little sense to me.
My opinion on this has nothing to do with football. And it has nothing to do with how much time he actually gave Daniels. It is what he told him. You tell him Hanlan is going to start (though I might have played both of them with Rahon, the way Jackson has been shooting). You don't tell him his minutes are going to be limited.
If Daniels were on the roster, Heckmann plays less and certainly not in that horrid stretch at the end where he spelled Hanlan. That's enough to win the game. Heckmann was -14 in like 50 key seconds of game time in each half.
You don't know that he told him his minutes would be limited. That is the assumption of which I speak. It is assuming the coach did something retarded without confirmation, in that I don't see how there is any less of a chance it was a writing on the wall situation. I don't know that the second is correct but it annoys me that we constantly create these narratives on the board, generally without much in the way of information.
As to the game at hand, as you just acknowledged in another post, if Odio played more and I'd even add if Rubin played more, you also reduce Heckmann's minutes. I don't see Daniels defending Jackson going very well. They're both short, but Jackson is a big dude. I don't think it would be a good match up. I'd almost suggest that Moton would have been more helpful in yesterdays game.
You can continue to believe that is assumed and argue semantics to defend the Don on this. Daniels not being on the team will continue to hurt as it did yesterday. He's not on the team because his situation was handled poorly. And frankly these boards are all about narratives and you are certainly a crusader for eliminating all conversation without 7 sources, but let's just say that at least 2 people have already confirmed this for you, and I have heard it from other sources. I, myself, have no inside information on the situation, but I have heard enough, and given the Heslip situation, find the narrative substantially supported. Regardless, I'm not interested in proving anything to you to your beyond a reasonable doubt standard; it's a message board. If you don't like the confirmation you have received, ignore it.
Jackson destroyed everyone that covered him. Couldn't destroy Daniels any worse than he picked apart Hanlan and Rahon to the tune of 31 points. The point about Daniels is on the other end - if he is there, Heckmann doesn't become a primary handler of the rock, turn it over 5 times, and hand away a 14-0 run. Heckmann was the choice because Odio can't handle on the perimeter.
Let's review what has actually been "confirmed" or "substantially supported":
1st, everyone reading this knows that you clamored about Daniels being 1) better than Hanlan and 2) that he was going to be the starter and that everything you say going forward is an attempt to mitigate your 9000th conclusively and comically dead wrong prediction and/or analysis.
SJeagle09 -the reputable poster as far as I know who actually claimed to know something- says the team was pissed at Donahue for Daniels leaving. That could mean that Donahue told him he would get no minutes and hamfistedly drove him away. It could mean he just played less and saw a continuing downward trend coming just as easily. It could be the continued recruitment of additional point guards. It could be sophomores (the majority of the team) were mad because a friend was replaced by a younger player. There is nothing about this in and of itself to conclude the Donahue is a retarded handler of personnel argument.
HJS - likely repeating SJeagle09 but making it seem like he knew something and I challenge you to pretend he doesn't do this constantly, added his own conclusory edge to the story. I consider this to be a zero value add in this particular conversation.
The Heslip situation: the Skinner ball washers came out in force to try to paint a picture with this one. The kid's -let's just say overly intrusive dad- spouted a bunch of shit, which was the functional equivalent of my son was disrespected by the coach. I don't understand how just because you draw the same conclusion without basis twice, it makes it any more valid this time.

twballgame9 {l Wrote}:I never clamored about Hanlan being better than anyone, that's an assumption that you extrapolated from my actual statement - which was a statement that Daniels actually played pretty damn well last season as a freshman PG and that expected him to be the starter because of the fact that he had already been through a full season battle in the ACC, he was actually pretty good, and I expected big improvement because frosh to soph is the year you see the biggest leap. I also based it on the fact that freshman usually struggle unless they are the top of the recruiting pyramid.
I did not base my opinion about Daniels starting on any knowledge of Hanlan other than the 1-2 grainy highlight films we all saw. He looked like a good player, and I expected him to get significant minutes at multiple guard positions because he is big and because he can do multiple things. But until yesterday, no one knew what Hanlan would do against top flight competition, and based on that and what I saw of Daniels, I expected Daniels to be the starter.
That said, now I have seen him play against a real college basketball team, and his maturity and basketball sense are excellent. I see why he is the starter at PG. I hope he can maintain it, and I wish for him to be a star. I also wish the coach hadn't run off his backup, and that we didn't have to count on Hanlan playing that well every game to win in his freshman year.
Specific posters have said that the rumor on campus is that the Don told Daniels he wouldn't see more than X amount of minutes, not just that the team was pissed. I also haven't suggested that the only place these rumors are being told is this message board.
I was among the good riddance people in the Heslip situation. My opinion on that has not changed. I am just noting that it is becoming something of a pattern. If you are okay with that fine, I can see the argument. I just wish we had a backup PG.
