At the risk of being accused of being a family member of Chris Mooney or having intimate sexual relations with the coaching staff, this one is mostly on the players. They didn't play well at all in the first half, didn't shoot well the whole game, and generally couldn't make the big play on offense when presented.

Mike Walz: terrific kid, incredibly smart, I'm proud of him as a Spider, physically built like a brick shithouse, mentally fragile. There's no scenario in the entire history of the world where you make 2 three pointers from the top of the key in the final minute to get your team into position to win, then get the ball at the top of the key and an open shot with less than 2 seconds left, and you pass it. To anyone, open or covered.

I could not believe how many we clanked off front of rim. Why so many just short?

Iona is 12-6, 4-3 in what was some thought would be a rebuilding season. The heir-apparent is learning his craft.

I rotate back and forth between Hovde and Geriot as the heir apparent.

Did you see the piece on the news about his heart situation. Hopefully not related to that but he's not going to be able to play 40 minutes a game.

Did something change about his heart situation in the last week?
He averaged 13 minutes the last 2 games after averaging 23 the three before that.

I like both those guys. But after so many years of watching the moon, I’d really like to breathe fresh air. Something entirely new; a total new start.

 

[Urmite]

Then again 4 of the 5 games he played 20 minutes or more were losses.

maybe he had a flashback to the Furman game?

All those coaches on the bench, did none of them happen to notice the we only had 2 team fouls with less than a minute to go in a game we were behind 2 or 3 points???
This coaching is just criminally bad, stupid grade school mistakes.

Thank you! Exactly my thought. Horrible coaching. Should never paint your team into a corner like that.

They may be good, but please, can we just be done with Mooney
