Mooney evaluation

[nathanw19]

I'd say it building strength without losing you find motor skills like shooting. We don't seem to be able to get that balance. I think it partly explains how poorly we shoot free throws year after year, player after player.

And conditioning is not building muscle mass, it's endurance. In fact I'd bet that building muscle mass is a impediment to building endurance.

Who’s free throw percentage has gone down because of bulking up? The one that I have seen repeatedly is Geriot. Yes, his free throws percentage went down his final 2 seasons. But bulking up isn’t the only factor; a year away from basketball, a serious injury, less free throw attempts, less of a prominent role in the offense so less rhythm, etc. And an example on the other side his Harper. He bulked up significantly and also became a better shooter. My point is that muscles and good shooting aren’t mutually exclusive.

And yes, I of course understand strength training and conditioning are different. But no, they’re not counters. I again point to every NBA player not named Kevin Durant. Has bulking up made Anthony Davis a worse player and unable to get up and down the floor? Of course not, and his bulking up has been extreme.

Again, my point is to put to bed the idea that some how our team has been working out TOO MUCH, and that has made us worse. I find it absurd.

The problem is the players are spending way too much time with Mooney.

Didn’t want to start new thread so I’ll drop it here. We all are frustrated with Mooney’s contract but how about Wake’s doozy with Manning. Extended after Wake’s NCAA appearance in 16-17 thru 24-25 season. Buyout at end of this year is estimated at $18M as 6 year extension was fully guaranteed per Jeff Goodman. Manning is on same hot seat lists as CM.

He made the Ncaa’s in 2016 and Mooney is on the “same” hot list.

"Loser leave town match" on Saturday night?

I have a hard time believing Manning's seat is already hot. Really?

 

[Eight Legger]

Manning could come here and be safe through 2030 doing exactly what he's done there.

Got a bunch of Wake buddies — thought is Manning great recruiter that can’t X and O. Fans dont hate DM like they did Bzz but they were awful last year and lost to Houston Baptist last week. Patience runs low in ACC ...

Congrats? to Mooney but he isn’t in the same class as Tarrant.

That, and the public address announcement after the game.....are enough.

Congrats. I have a lot of respect for DT. Guy's success in basketball contributed to me going there.

That said, I'm really looking forward to the day we don't immediately talk about things we did 30 years ago. I'm hoping tonight is a piece of being able to add onto that legacy.

 

[spider23]

OK, let's talk present day. Radford, yes Radford. In the middle of nowhere, plays in a bubble, plays in a low level conference, no other reason to be successful than a coach has bypassed us. That present day enough for you? NO, we wouldn't want to talk about Tarrant or JB, why would we do that.
