my thoughts on his erratic shooting in the lane
with him playing the point and his improved FT shooting
i think he trying to get the calls that allow him to shoot more FT's
there are time where he get fouled but no call is made
with a little more Muscle those shots will improve as he won't be that easily bounced off stride
 
Certain words or phrases that some people are amuzed by are bannable offenses around here yet we still get to sift through this crap in multiple threads that are started by the same handful of posters.

Whar JonDieselMiller? Whar JD?
 
so what is wrong with what i said?
if you don't agree fine

Its not what you said its how you said it and the fact that it probably could have gone in a thread that already existed that was devoted to Marble.

Not every little nugget of wisdom that comes into herbyhawk's melon needs its own thread.
 
i would agree. but i also think part of it is his choice to go 1 on 4 or 5 too often. refs arent going to bail you out for that if it is ticky tack because you were the stupid one who did it. devyn needs to use his mid range pull up a little more often and he will be able to keep the defenders guessing and then reaching and slapping for more calls. the added bulk should help too.
 
ok
one more time
i am disabled due to a stroke
i cannot use both HANDS
i get the English Gestapo on me for using COMMAS or not enough PERIODS
the spelling Gestapo come out in force if i make a mistake on spelling
this is much easier to do and it also is easier to spot spelling errors
oh to be fully healthy and without error
like the rest of you

Not sure if any of that is the answer. He is a 2 gaurd he doesn't need to gain any weight for college ball. As a high-school basketball ref I was confused about him not getting those calls when he drove. I don't care how many people he goes against. The rules state if you run into a moving player shooting or not its a foul no matter what. The refs just needed to be more consistent.

If the game was called by the book about everyone would foul out. I don't mind ref's swalloing the whistle at the right times. I don't think out of control players should get a call just because there is a bit of contact.

This. Just like if a pitcher or catcher is going to show up an umpire, they can (and IMO, should) expect to see a much smaller strike zone. There are times where it's fine to bend the rules to interpretation a little bit. Going 1 on 4 and expecting a bail out from a ref is one of those times.

If you look down and to the right or left of the L key, that's where the comma and period keys are. Just so you know. I just don't get how you can't use a comma or period once in awhile. It'd really help the rest of us out.

goll dangit
i wish you would stop being so selfish
the guy is doing the best he can
now get off your high horse
and leave the man alone
 
I love the progress out of Marble. He will be much better with the incoming recruits around him. His assist to turnover ratio is great.

Have to agree. Although sometimes Devyn is the only one showing signs of life on offense.....

he is a wing player and most are between 205 and 215 at his height because of the slashing to the basket they take a physical pounding from the big men. any ref worth their salt will let things go because they are ticky tack or forced or faked. going 1 on 4 he is trying to flail and bail himself out a little too much.

btw running into a moving player can also be a charge yet some refs and people think the defender must have their feet set to get that call. and like was said if everything was called by the book the game would end before time ran out because everyone would foul out. sometimes you have to let them play.
