Howard was my year at Vandy. We were friendly freshman year and took a couple of the same classes. He was a super nice guy. Pretty reserved. I know he took school seriously because we studied together (statistics). I wish him good luck.

I think our perceptions of Evans’ shooting ability is influenced by his form. He seems to have a hitch where he pauses his motion at the top and then continues so he probably shoots on the way down. So it looks a little jerky. Shan pointed that out on the telecast. He also seems to have a little bit...

I think only intentional kicks are immediate dead balls. An inadvertent dribble off of a foot is a live ball.

He may be a better in-game tactician than JTIII (and frankly a lot of other D-1 coaches) but I don’t think that’s enough to get him hired here again. I was a big fan of CKS until about 2013. H...

Kind of ambivalent about JTIII. I live in the DC area and he was popular when first hired at Georgetown from Princeton. A lot was based on his dads legacy, to be sure. But he had some early success. I think his last 3 or 4 years were akin to CKS’s last few years at Vanderbilt (minus the grating pers...
