Also, sorry in advance as this is going to cause a lot of anger by the old timers on here... But it's time to get better PA and radio people for our programs.  Tom Judd was back? Filling in last night and sounded like he was drunk or on something. He could not tell which team was which and kept getting Dottin confused with Kent's 5 and Dennis with the little guard. This wasn't a one time thing to. It happened numerous times throughout the game.  Yes, we wore blue, but come on.  He even got loud and celebrated a few Kent buckets, either thinking they were ours or IDK!

I won't even get started on how bad radio broadcasts are... but a change is needed and would be nice.

Also, on our feed and scoreboard, we should not be showing numerous replays of an opponents massive dunk that turned momentum.

This is loooong long overdue. Whole production team needs a revamp + investment... In time. Was hoping Flo would do that... But they dont run their own production they basically just bought the right to put a paywall in front of the each schools existing subpar production

Just looking at the early numbers through three games, Fobbs is 0-9 from three-point range. But shooters gotta shoot. He shot 37.4% from three last year and when Howards wasn't on (1/2 the time), he was the only option from the perimeter.

But this season, there's Gibson (7-17 3pt), Gray (53.8% FG, 5-8 3pt), and to a lesser extent Betrand (4-11 3pt, 38% FG).  And hopefully, Timberlake shortly returns (6.4ppg). I also think we need Sanders as an inside presence on offense because he's the only paint presence we have. Maybe Thompson in the future. He's not there yet, but if Sanders can just give us 20 minutes, and four fouls each time, that's fine. We have two other guys that can play center. 

In other words, Fobbs can still be the number one option, but he's not the only option. Putting him on the floor with Dottin, Thompson, and Tunstall, limits his options, so he feels he has to go 1-on-5. Play with him Gibson, Betrand/Timberlake and Gray and you have the best offensive group since JD, Morsell, EK, Moto and Morman. He has to trust his teammates and not force it when there's nothing there. Make the extra pass to Gray, Gibson or one of the 2-guards. He may be pressing a bit. That shot will come back.
