You don't have to go back too many pages on this forum to find a lot of negative comments about "the coach's kid" not belonging on a Div. I court. Connor is proving them all wrong.
Eating crow myself. Credit to Connor for working on his game, you can tell the team has a ‘calm’ about them when he’s in too.
He’s hit some timely 3s as well. Having him, CJ, Evelyn (sp?) and Joe T as more than capable ball handlers is a welcome departure from years past. Hard to press us and our transition game is even more amped up.

‘Yep, it’s the difference in “knowing your shit” and “knowing you’re shit”. I know my shit and know you’re shit.
BUMP, clutch 3's, 7 assists and 0 turnovers. Tough D and just a tough SOB. Glad he is on OUR side. Go Connor and Go Hawks!

Frans Presser tonight featured a question about Connor and Fran's answer was very cool. Talked about how he brings a lot of subtle value and how many positions he plays, varying role he plays on defense, even guarding 6'11" guy and holding his own! Had 7 assists and 0 TO's. But he wrapped by saying he knows we have 3 tremendous scorers and he knows how and where to get them the ball.
Connor is the definition of team and winning and just getting it done with 0 shits of what he does. I cannot wait for PMAC to enter the fray so they can play together.
Now leading the country in assist to turnover margin, 4.15-1.
I agree, but I think it is always a little tougher to be the coaches son.
He's done a real good job and been a good complement on this team. You pointed out a good stat, that he's hitting close to 40% in Big 10 play. That is huge, he becomes a real asset if he's able to do that. Not that he's going to be a volume shooter, but if teams just don't pay attention to him and he can knock down a good % of open 3's, that's huge given the other stuff he can do.
Kudos to everything in this thread! That said, he was pretty hard on the refs last night in his interview as he should have. However, he did call out the ref by name, etc, I know coaches absolutely cannot do this but any backlash if players do it?
I'm a little concerned about this,.. We'll just have to keep an eye on how Eades treats us going forward...
Yea, not a good idea by Connor. But it's absolute BS that a sophomore in college has to sit and be interviewed by the press, while these refs sneak out the back door. Never held accountable!
(Yes, I know the refs are supposedly held accountable by someone...)
Agreed, I do rather enjoy the fire and "I've got your back," mantra, it seems during the Aaron White era we didn't have an "enforcer" and teams pushed us around and we simply took it. Well, except for McCabe hip-tossing a Sparty defender one time...
Too many people think that if you don't step in and score 12 a game, you aren't any good.....Connor's value to this team cant be measured by a stat sheet.
