I was actually tempted to put Quin Snyder as a joke

but since I’m fighting a killer headache, I’m not quite thinking straight.

How is Dooling not on that list?

Respect and honor your opponent, unless that opponent is a fictional bird. In which case you hit him until he falls, kick him until dead and burn the remains.

I second the Dooling question

I restricted myself to players who actually played after the year 2000

Remember, Keyon was drafted in June 2000.

I looked at the decade as being Fall 2000-Spring 2010.

Actually, I'll buy that arguement

Only because your signature rocks.

Yeah, plus

he only played 2 years for Mizzou. Great athletic talent, but hard to put him above people who had a longer tenure. Even though his Freshman year was great for a freshman, when you consider that it was half of his Mizzou career, those are some pretty lackluster numbers.

by Andy--01 on Dec 14, 2009 2:10 PM CST up reply actions  

Really? You need a 3-pt specialist when Gilbert is on your team?

People seem to forget just how great Gilbert was on D his freshman year. Can’t help but wonder how much different his career would have been with a different coach. Not Norm, per se, because he probably wouldn’t have stuck around 4 years, but a Quin Snyder who actually required discipline.

by Andy--01 on Dec 14, 2009 2:02 PM CST up reply actions  

Since Gilbert is a starter and only shot 37 % for his career

Yes, I want a 3 pt specialist on the bench.

Rush is the better 3pt shooter by career % anyway

Just ‘cause you take a lot doesn’t make you a good shooter from distance.

Let's see

this is tough since I had no interest in Mizzou hoops until Quin’s last year.

G – Dooling
G – Rush
F – Carroll
F – Kleiza
C – Johnson

G – Tiller
G – Gilbert
G – Gardner
F – Lyons
F – Bryant

I agree with this.

And wow, is that a hit or miss bench. Gilbert, Gardner, Lyons, Bryant? That is feast or famine at its best.

What do tigers dream of when they take a little tiger snooze? Do they dream of mauling zebras, or Halle Berry in her Catwoman suit?

Obviously a joke, but he's the head coach of Texas Southern

Congrats to him.

It should be noted that TSU has a player from Pontiac, Michigan, Detroit, Michigan and Benton Harbor, Michigan.
