Re: Coaching Career of Bob Knight (No, not THAT Bob Knight) - take #2 - ps2

Looks like you contain George, the 7'7" center, of UNC Asheville well.

He certainly is one big kid in this game, just as in real life. I guess that 8-29 isn't too shabby. Sargent & Brownfield played him well and most of my players have picked up a couple of points of progression in defensive awareness this season. George did, however, block 4 shots and had 19 rebounds (3 offensive) in the two games. Hopefully we can contain him again if the teams meet during the Big South tournament.

Re: Coaching Career of Bob Knight (No, not THAT Bob Knight) - take #2 - ps2

Lexington, VA - Coach Bob Knight stated that since the team has a two game lead in the conference standings, senior Reggie Williams will be relegated to the end of the bench and junior forward Travis Holmes, junior guard's Chavis Holmes' twin brother, will be starting in his place.


(This may not be pretty, folks, with the Winthrop Eagles up next on the schedule)
