I think Pat is right on, and that Timmerman will work and improve. Not too many players who were solid from their first game...Al Leslie? Nana?Most of the players who were all-PL certainly weren't there at the start of their first year;
Yes, most Bison players improved significantly after their first year. But in Timmerman's case, his ceiling is going to be very low if he doesn't make a commitment to conditioning. It is clear that is affecting his lateral quickness and likely his jumping ability. In the only two games where he has played much, he has averaged 10 fouls per 40 minutes.

Hey 137, I think we have gotten the point that Timmerman is averaging 10 fouls per 40 minutes, lol.

I seem to have heard 10, but I can't remember where.

strategy under ND has always been to focus foremost on the PL...a big upset in OOC is nice but not a priority and it pales in comparison the the former. Buck is and has been always about the BID

Got it. OOC doesn’t matter so no sense in all of us talking about it, no use in Doug interviewing Davis and other coaches before and after games....except that the coaches and players do try to win, Davis does yell at officials at times and get technicals during OOC games, players do earn or lose playing time, Bucknell promotes and disseminates game and team information.
I believe all teams went to win and will do whatever they can to win any given game within the constructs of what they deem appropriate and helpful to their program. The team is always developing, coaches are always adjusting what they do and what their rotations will be. If they decide on a style and rotation based on OOC play but certain players are not performing a few games into the conference season, the coaches will continue to make adjustments. It’s a fluid process.

I understand the PL games being more important. However doing well in OOC games can generate positive momentum - and doing poorly can do the reverse.

Oh I agree. I was being a little sarcastic with my comment. Seems to be a lot of feeling that Davis and staff don’t really care about wins and losses in OOC, but I think they do. They work on things to be sure, but they want to win every game they play while continuing to improve. Winning the PL is always the biggest goal, especially in a one-big league, but to think the team blows off OOC just to get ready for league isn’t true, imo.

There was no mutual exclusivity implied here. One being a priority doesn’t mandate that the other is meaningless.
