Anyone know what the penalty is for not throwing the ball to a post player?

It’s a simple question or questions for the masses here.

Let me preface it by this first. Since everyone on here seems to know who the best players are, who the best coaches are on the staff, who should start, who should have never been a Jayhawk, who should transfer, the severity of an injury and so on. All based off opinions, no not facts, numbers are what you want them to be, you can swing numbers to work for you and against someone else, just depending on how much time you want to put into it so I do not accept that as proof.

So back to my question of “How many?”

How many practices has anyone from this site been too? How many team meetings has anyone been too? How many coaches only meetings? How many team workouts? How many dr appointments or rehab assignments? How many film sessions? How many people have talked to coach Self about the type of players he likes and what he is looking for? How many?

Anyone? Bueller?

So without being there, no matter your stats or percentages or analytics it makes it all worth not and an opinion, not a fact unless you are there day in and day out with this team, this staff and or Coach Self himself.

I’ve read all the BS behind the hate for certain players, yes there is a hatred for Jamari for whatever reason, perhaps you couldn’t even touch his jock strap in your prime and you are jealous, but it is a hate that is going around. It needs to stop, cyber bullying is just the same as being an ass in real life. He’s a Jayhawk and a damn fine young man who has build his life from the rubbles of the streets, but hey haters gonna hate.

I’ve read that Greens injury wasn’t as bad as we were led to believe, yet it did require surgery, so not sure who on here is a Dr, and no playing Operation when you were 7 and not getting buzzed, does not make you smarter than anyone else.

I’ve read this and that and how one persons opinion if it’s different from the masses is wrong or a dreamer. Why? Why can’t someone disagree with others? No one is perfect, and I know this because you are not God himself. Look thats what makes this a great forum, is that people can voice their opinions abut things, but when it comes down to two or three people always saying they know more about Kansas Basketball or the game itself it makes me laugh.

Who here is a winning coach? Who here was an all american player? Sure we all either played here and there, but that doesn’t mean you know more about the game than someone else, sure it gives you experience, but not always knowledge. There are some great coaches in the world that weren’t great players, and there are great players that can’t coach a lick, so that isn’t proof.

I’m just tired of reading people who think they know more than the next guy cause they say so. Or they know whats right for this team when they have never been to a practice or meeting or film session. Makes me laugh in all reality at how some people sound.

OK let the bashing on me begin. Make me laugh. Make yourself look smart.

Be a Jayhawk fan and cheer for everyone that laces up their shoes this year no matter your OPINION of them, because thats all it is.

As KU fans we take a lot for granted and yet we have so much to be thankful for.

Be it Dr Naismith, Coach Allen, Wilt or Bill Self and everyone who has come and gone between.

This year besides this site and ALLthe posters that come with it. Yes even those I argue with and don’t agree with I’m still thankful for you input balance is good.

Speaking of balance, I am very thankful that this years team has great balance and chemistry

Be it Wayne the leader one night or Perry the next. Or be it Frank charging forward or Devonte playing solid D. This team doesn’t need one guy to take over a game. Heck we could have Svi or Bragg come off the bench and lead the way for a night, and nobody on this TEAM is going to get their jocks in a knot.

This is what I’m thankful for this season. TEAM!

OK I was getting very very worried that the triple OT game sent @HighEliteMajor major to the ICU of his local hospital. That is until I looked and say the he did post twice yesterday in response to other post.

But yet I’m still concerned, perhaps he broke his keyboard in his post game analysis from typing too fast and hard? Plus his post from yesterday were short.

Maybe he’s on vacation and has limited internet reception.

Oh wait, remember last week when he made his wife wait to go out and eat? I saw the movie Misery, perhaps his wife went a little rough on him?

Just worried about you @HighEliteMajor just want to make sure you are doing alright in health and freedom and with that win Monday night.

Perhaps you haven’t finished your analysis yet?

Why? Some of you are probably asking why I’m concerned about @HighEliteMajor as we tend to not be the best of comrades on here. But hey he is still a Jayhawk Brother.

Here’s to you HEM, Rock Chalk Jayhawk

My Adidas walked through concert doors and roamed all over coliseum floors I stepped on stage, at Live Aid All the people gave and the poor got paid And out of speakers I did speak I wore my sneakers but I’m not a sneak My Adidas cuts the sand of a foreign land with mic in hand I cold took command my Adidas and me, close as can be we make a mean team, my Adidas and me we get around together, rhyme forever and we won’t be mad when worn in bad weather My Adidas… My Adidas… My Adidas

@HighEliteMajor 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

There now I took my deep breath. Now you can come down from yourself appointed soapbox.

Deal?

I am not blind to the things that are a miss of KU basketball. No I don’t think coach Self is the almighty figure of coaching either. But I’m also not going to sit here and bite my tongue with the insistent bashing of Traylor or the questioning of the severity of BGs injury and surgery like they have an insight or the knowledge to do so.

If it stings or hurts about my other thread I started, then I guess it’s true. The truth hurts.

As for my meds since your not a doctor you have no clue what I should or should not be taking. So if you want to make it personal we sure can.

I’m just amused and annoyed at how much you think you know about the game itself.

After this summer of waiting for the season to start it almost feels over for me! Same early exit team we had last year! BUMMER

We are not Cub’s fans, we don’t see the first pitch of the game of the season and hold up a sign that reads, “There’s always next year”

We are KU, the chicken little has not ran by screaming the “sky is falling” others have, but cmon man it is one game. Coach will and teach from this, the players will learn from this.

@HawksWin If you are done after two games, and are jumping off the wagon, don’t ever forget that sometimes the journey is the destination. Hold on tight and take the downs with the ups and take it all in. You never know what will happen next, that’s why they play the games on the floor and not on paper.

I think Self is going to start Hunter, throw him out there and see what happens. He’s given Jamari and Landon a chance to show what they can do. Now it’s Hunters turn.

I’m guessing unless KU goes for 64 in the first half and Humter has a triple double at the break the Mext game Bragg gets a start and then Diallo will get his.

This will give them all a chance to play with fresh starters, play from the get go. Get reps in practice. Give them all their own personal showcase if you will.

This will not only show each guy where they stand but will show their teammates what they can do. It also will show coach Self who he can and can not trust in the starting role.

As for us fans it will just give us more to talk, argue, bicker and over analyze about.

I really wish that was a picture of Cosch Self and then just change the 2015 to 2014, 2013, 2012 and on and on and on.

@JRyman You do need a hug.

Nope not a tissue.

Just tired of the high and mighty BS.

@HighEliteMajor just a heads up. You are not God. You have flaws as well.

Sorry you feel ganged up on. But you have a way that you underhand people’s post and knowledge of the game.

What makes you better than the rest of us? I mean if you were such a great coach why aren’t you coaching now? Why aren’t you consulting somewhere with your vast coaching greatness?

How do you know what others do or do not know about the game?

Just as I do not know what your experience is, you don’t know what others is either.

@Hawk8086 yeah I don’t know either. Just snowballing ideas.

With some of the rumors though I wonder if Bragg would get the start??

I’m not saying these changes are due to the loss. Just due to the game itself. Could the proverbial light have been turned on for Bragg and now it’s time to see if he can handle it shinning on him? At WVU definitely not the place to give a new starting spot. But at home against TCU might be.

I don’t think Perry will play the 3 starting. Just might happen within the game.

I’m just ready for this game to begin so we can move on forward.

@HighEliteMajor How is it that you know why someone posted something?

Oh they used a word and therefore in your all knowing never wrong state of mind you know what they were conveying with their post.

Why is it when you are questioned or called out we don’t grasp what you are saying. But when we stand up for someone we are blind because we don’t question them?

Anyone have thoughts to the starting 5 for KU Saturday?

Could Bragg get the start over Hunter?

Will any of our wings take a seat at the tip to get Greene or Svi in early?

Could Perry go to the three at all in this game letting Bragg and Diallo play the high low?

Will Vick see court time?

And before anyone comes out with their derogatory oblivious Lucas and Traylor shouldn’t be allowed out of the the locker room. Get over it they are Jayhawks, they are members of this team. Let it go already.

@DoubleDD I am hopeful that this Saturday’s game at home will allow KU some freedom to play the younger guys more minutes.

It’s two fold. Get them game experience. Plus it can give the others some rest that is well needed too.

@DoubleDD the question then becomes how long can he stay on the floor without fouling out?

Yes his offensive upside is greater but his liability on D and his inability to stay out of foul trouble will put his butt on the bench.

That’s my opinion over hat I’ve seen him play.

@jaybate-1.0 I’ve wondered that as well. Even though Perry has a ton of post moves on the block why isn’t he playing the high inbthebhigj low?

He can take his man off the dribble, can shoot outside, better passer, one would think he would be at 17 ft looking inward instead of being on the block waiting for the double team to come.

@wrwlumpy Ahhh good to see us moving forward.

Tear off the rear view mirror and let’s go forward.

One game at a time. TCU you’ve got next.

He’s only 20 right nowhere still hasn’t matured physically. Give him 4-5 more years and see how much stronger he will be.

Plus that will help him protect the ball on his drives and rebounding strength.
