That's funny coming from a guy who acts as if Bohannon stole his girlfriend. I don't care if JB is a Hawk or not. I am glad with whoever Fran thinks is worthy of a scholarship. Too bad you guys can't enjoy that instead of being so negative towards high school kids and acting like teenage girls.
That makes it even more peculiar why a few supposed grown men are on here worrying about him being on the team unless he stole their gf or something.
No particular diss of Moore, but this seems likely. It would make his sudden disinterest after his recent big interest make sense.
Chad played more at the top of the key than did Freddy Brown who would shoot a lot expecially from the left side of the court. Iowa was a great running team that no one in the B10 could keep up with. Ralph Miller didn't really like guards driving that much to the basket because he felt that their shots or layups would get blocked by bigger forwards and centers. His goal was for the open uncontested shot on offense and during practice he would yell at players that would drive and take off balance shots instead of shooting the open 10 to 15 foot shot. Against Purdue and Rick Mount, Ralph's plan was not to double team Mount (like so many other teams did) but was to shoot at a higher % than Purdue. Mount scored > 50 points at Purdue against Iowa but Iowa still won because their shooting % was higher.
Remember how Calabria used to follow his jump shots and often picked up easy baskets after his initial missed shots? A lost art.
You're right, I really don't know anything about basketball. However, I really must question your great court knowledge/experience if you don't think that was a staple of Calabria's game.
Ralph Miller must not have known anything either than. Pretty good company to be in. A good shooter will know if he's missed and where the rebound will go.
I guess that I must have selective memory when it comes to remembering the shots that Chad made from the top of the key. Brown could hit from all over the place. I do remember Chad following his missed shots at times when he knew where to retrieve the ball. I just don't remember him scoring that much with jump shots from the corners (like Brown) although my memory might be hazy with that as well. The pace that Iowa played with was amazing against other B10 teams considering the number of players that they used in the rotation. Other teams just got gassed trying to keep up with Iowa's running game.
Dante...Iowa was really never in the picture...Chad said Iowa was #2...but that was Dad talking.

I think you should teach me more about basketball.
I would agree with this. Actually, from what I saw of Christian Williams, he is this type of PG - keeps his head up when bringing the ball up the floor and looks to pass it on the break. His court vision is one of the things that I thought stood out in the games of his I saw broadcast. His clips are more about his scoring but his game is so much more that that. I really hope that he develops at Iowa because he could be very special, both at the PG and SG positions.
