It seems he's has been doing more of this the last couple of games, and the players are responding. A good coach needs to know which buttons to push and when, and maybe Coach Matta has figured out the formula with this team. I sure hope so.Midstate01;1398281 wrote:How could you not see it.

I don't know, he was pretty pissed off when he took that timeout at the beginning of the second half against MSU, but I get your point.Prescott;1398540 wrote:Ihave never seen Matta as angry and animated as he was last night with Ravenal.
Great article. Would definitely rather have Craft than not have him, unless he is throwing up 15 shots in a game that is.vball10set;1402354 wrote:Lengthy, but spot on

I called a game for WFOB back around 2007 or 2008 when Craft was at L-B -- I think that was the only game I ever saw the kid play in hs -- and he was probably the second quickest defensive player I've ever seen at that level. The first was hands down Jeremiah Diebler of Gibsonburg. Watching Jeremiah play was like looking up at the sky and staring at lighting.Laley23;1402390 wrote:In semi-related news. Just worked the Anthony Wayne -Perrysburg game (UofM Recruit Mark Donnal had 20 pts on 8/14 shooting and about 10 reb.). But it was at Liberty-Benton, Aaron Crafts HS. I looked at their wall of fame. I knew he was all-Ohio in foootball twice, but didnt realize once was as a DB and also all-ohio basketball 3 times.

Yeah it was an awful call. Ohio State got the win though. :thumbup:se-alum;1403445 wrote:That should not have been an intentional foul on Rav.
Agreed, B1G COTY imo.The Answer;1403453 wrote: Great coaching job by Thad Matta to get this team where they are in the nations best conference.
B1G guy and speaks his mind. Obviously he's partial to Indiana, as are most guys who play and coach for a team.vball10set;1403454 wrote:Agreed, B1G COTY imo.

Craft is an incredible athlete. It's too bad he can't shoot. If he could, he'd be a first-team All-American.
I just can't stand how Dakich doesn't recognize fouls vs non-fouls. I don't know if he don't watch the replays or what. There is no way that intentional foul on Ravenel today was an intentional foul. He may have even got a little bit of ball, but Dakich acted like it was a great call.vball10set;1403454 wrote:Agreed, B1G COTY imo.
