Ok. The C and PF position is 80 total minutes per game…before the season you would pencil in Tugler at 30. Cenac as a freshman 25. That still leaves 25 minutes off the bench for a big to get minutes.
Cenac came and got us our 25.
Tugler stayed in foul trouble and did not get the 30. He only put up 24, so thats an extra 6 minutes available.
Out of 31 available minutes for bigs…Sahko gave us 13. I seriously doubt that was in the plans. You dont sign a vet, knowing there would be all those minutes available and be happy with 13 minutes per game.
And in those 13, he was confused a majority of them. Yes. Injuries and learning had a lot to do with it. He definitely showed he had talent and athletic ability. Sampson even said he wish he had more time with him. So he wasnt a scrub.
If he was signed to play 13 minutes, then where were all those other minutes supposed to go to? The fact there were 31 available bench minutes for a big and Sampson only played him 13…that should say enough right there…

I don’t know how they do math where you are from but you don’t round 22’1 to 23 feet to try and prove your point.

my point wasnt the distance … 22 or 23 … the point was around the ncaa stats on percentage drops
i also made the high school line longer…
I’m guessing we expected to get minutes out of McFarland and possibly Lath, but that didn’t happen.

For UH to have someone come off the bench and meet your expecations:
- You need a skilled player who was willing to come to UH;
- Come off the bench as a non-starter; and
- Pay the player commiserate to what the player thought he was worth.
You and I know that and so does Sampson. Sampson’s job, like any head coach these days, is to maximize the talent based on the financial resources he is given. Sampson also has to worry about team chemistry. A player getting a few million in NIL sitting on the bench is not going to be a happy camper, especially with the forced minutes the player was getting because of JJ’s foul issues. The player starts thinking “the guy ahead of me can’t stay on the court; let him come off the bench.”
BTW, I mention above that Sampson’s job is to maximize the talent based on the financial resources he is given. Some schools are taking that responsibility away from the head coach and giving it to someone else in the athletic department, e.g, General Manager, NIL Director, etc.
I’m thinking Sampson had to pay an awful lot of money to the three blue chippers he brought in, on top of whatever he was paying Milos and Eman and Tugler, and there wasn’t much left for an extra big.
I figured I must have missed something so went back and read. He really did do that followed by his usual dismissal post.

You just didn’t have the full context.

I wish we would stop talking about Harwell. He wanted a change of scenery. And that is totally fine. I like Chase more for that role.

Yall are so wierd with the nit pics
I state the ncaa website notes the move from the high school line to the 1 first college line cause the biggest drop in 3pt % in ncaa history… and the ncaa did a separate mid season study when it moved to the current like in the NIT and the NIT teams saw a huge drop in percentage
My point was clearly about the ncaa stats
I used 20, 21 and 23 to reference which lines I was talking about … simply just rounding to the next feet for all of them… including the hs line… which has absolutely nothing to do with my point … and found something silly to nitpick about again
You would make life much easier on yourself if you would just hone up to mistakes and incorrect statements. Don’t dismiss, justify or tell others what they should have focused on, just admit or accept and move on.

for those that are genuine , great advice. theer are those that nitpick everything… for them i do not care
they will nit pick something tomorrow, it is an endless supply of nitpick… i will not give them anything for their nitpicks
stop giving advice that you wouldnt follow yourself… if 6-7 posters… just those posters constantly tried to nitpick everything you posted you wouldn’t validate their actions… example we’d add 3 shooters in a comment youd noted we got a bunch of “40% 3pts shooters to the roster, we are a going to be a better shooting team” of your dedicated haters is like one of them is only 38%, that you are making up stats…
its silly nitpicking that doesn’t have anything to do with changing your point and its done constantly
And Cenac certainly wasn’t a center. Cenac got manhandled against Illinois. He looked intimidated.
I really think Sahko was mainly brought in as a practice player and mop up guy.
Instead an injured McFarland became that guy
One thing Pesik is truly elite at, downplaying when he is wrong. Lmao it’s hard for him to admit it, so he manipulates things to make it seem like, “i wasn’t actually wrong, I was just rounding to 23. Didn’t feel like typing it all out.” It’s truly magnificent and hilarious lmao

Haha…
Or “that is not a slump…that is player recovering from an injury that needed a offseason to recover”…
He gave his reason for why Harwell was in a slump last season, but then still argues that it’s not actually a slump…
Riiight… it’s just a downtrodden season where he missed shots that he should easily make BECAUSE of the injury he had last summer.

I mean it’s hard to call his offense a skimp when he never really got going. He had that one game where it really looked like the it was coming… Then it continued to not come.
