Tilmon.... - MUTGR MU - 7/16 17:56:04

Seems like an unnecessary skill set to work on - FIJItiger MU

- 7/16 21:54:39

I agree. If he's in a game having to zig-zag down the lane, - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 7/17 10:33:15

Ball handling and shooting are unnecessary? - Mizzmi27 MU - 7/17 08:47:23

I'm fairly certain Martin is trying to develop Tilmon's all - MUTGR MU - 7/17 11:14:33

It's called living in a by gone era. - longtimereader MU - 7/17 13:19:20

He doesn't know. He never played at any level(nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/17 08:49:08

he was on a team in HS, but to describe what he did as - Jeff85 MU - 7/17 10:09:26

Didnt realize we were acquaintances that would - FIJItiger MU

- 7/17 08:52:35

To be fair, the fact you've just learned of "practice the - Mizzmi27 MU - 7/17 08:56:17

That's not a logical deduction on your part(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:03:05

k tj, there are multiple possibilities - Mizzmi27 MU - 7/17 09:12:28

I think making it personal is just weird. - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:22:50

I did tj, read the thread. - Mizzmi27 MU - 7/17 09:42:43

I totally get it. - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:44:44

Or that doing drills aren't meant to imitate game time - TheWildcat STL - 7/17 08:56:59

It's mind-numbingly dumb.(nm) - Mizzmi27 MU - 7/17 09:00:17

You make it apparent. You don't even understand that - TheWildcat STL - 7/17 08:54:07

You work on harder stuff so that the - *M* KC - 7/17 08:47:01

That is a good explanation, I would buy that. Hopefully - FIJItiger MU

- 7/17 08:50:01

Your hatred of CM rivals KA. (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 7/17 09:06:47

Umm...Fiji doesn't hate CM - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:18:08

give it time, it's coming - Jeff85 MU - 7/17 10:13:26

Cuonzo Martin has a track record that proves following him - Uncle John MU

- 7/17 09:26:59

What track record and how does that prevent ANY critique? - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:29:43

He's done fine and will only get better at Missouri. His - Uncle John MU

- 7/17 09:37:23

I agree with that. - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:38:39

We already know Fiji gave STRIKE ONE to CM. - TheWildcat STL - 7/17 09:39:30

Well, I certainly don't agree with the 3 strikes routine(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:42:24

That's why. He's not involved enough to critique. (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 7/17 09:51:37

So no fan is allowed to critique? - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 13:44:41

That was a nice way of saying it was a dumb thing to even - Uncle John MU

- 7/17 13:47:33

You still bent about him choosing MU over Illinois?(nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/17 09:30:38

Nope. Was never upset about that. (nm) - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:31:35

Teej and feej think CM is mismanaging Tilmon. Lol. - TheWildcat STL - 7/17 09:28:06

That's not my opinion at all. - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:30:39

Thank god they are here - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 7/17 09:29:54

Agree, I hate neither. (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 7/17 09:13:00

Because he ran off the greatest pg of all time in Blake - TheWildcat STL - 7/17 09:12:05

Jesus, how old are you again? How are you just now - Mizzmi27 MU - 7/17 08:54:35

aren't you like 15 or 16 years old. I assure you there - FIJItiger MU

- 7/17 08:58:00

Keep telling yourself that.(nm) - Mizzmi27 MU - 7/17 09:01:01

He would probably be shocked to learn Mike Trout - TheWildcat STL - 7/17 08:56:14

It is a ball handling and shooting drill. Smh (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/17 08:13:53

Not sure I envision a situation when JT would - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 08:07:14

One other point in addition to the one I made below to you - longtimereader MU - 7/17 13:53:45

RE: One other point in addition to the one I made below to you - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 21:42:41

It will be very funny to me, if Tilmon is stretching the - kcnorthside KC - 7/17 09:32:02

I could easily be wrong. No one is always right(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:39:05

Some of this is to get him ready for the NBA - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/17 08:17:06

That's just the wrong approach by CM - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 08:24:42

FYI for clarification and to be properly informed - longtimereader MU - 7/17 13:46:03

That does slightly change it for me, then. Thanks(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 20:51:00

Thanks for the heads up coach tj - Cosmo MU

- 7/17 08:30:42

Don't have to be a CBB coach to see that asking JT to - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 08:32:39

lol you have zero, none, zilch idea if it's a waste of time - Cosmo MU

- 7/17 08:38:25

Also, these are summer workouts. Not full fledged - TheWildcat STL - 7/17 08:43:33

It's my opinion it's a waste of time. - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 08:39:26

Yup, throwing a huge fit here - Cosmo MU

- 7/17 08:41:57

Ranting, cussing, insulting. - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 08:43:31

God ur such a douche bag lol errbody loling at you(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 7/17 08:48:16

I calmly and logically explained my opinion. - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 08:49:54

Cuonzo Martin lol's at you too jabroni(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 7/17 08:50:30

Well, CM can ask JT to shoot 3's in a game if he wants. - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 08:53:17

There are situations where it may have to happen teeji - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 7/17 08:55:19

Should he practice half court shots then based on the - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 08:58:46

Many teams will do halfcourt shots before practice ends - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 7/17 09:11:24

"You don't spend hours on it, just a few minutes for fun." - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:14:33

Duuurrr Im teej, Im retarded. (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/17 09:19:10

The Feej & Teej Show - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 7/17 09:23:24

3's aren't a priority, don't recall anyone saying that - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 7/17 09:16:35

CM said it was: - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:20:40

Nothing in there states Tilmon shooting 3s as a priority. - TheWildcat STL - 7/17 09:22:16

Except the actual words posted. - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:23:56

Oh I have no doubt it is a priority to teach him to play - TheWildcat STL - 7/17 09:26:44

When asked about JT he mentioned shooting from perimeter. - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:34:08

I say this as calmly as I can.. I think you're a bit of a - TheWildcat STL - 7/17 09:35:54

Let me know if you want to discuss the actual topic. - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:36:47

That's fine. I just wanted you to know I am quite calm(nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/17 09:37:10

I'd disagree with that conclusion based on - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:40:51

When someone is making a point so preposterous, the - TheWildcat STL - 7/17 09:46:31

Not really. - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 20:52:29

This (nm) - Cosmo MU

- 7/17 10:10:08

Nope. He quit with post moves. 3s only now. (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/17 09:13:02

Where did I say he wasn't working on post moves? - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:16:14

lol gotta love it, good entertainment this morning(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 7/17 09:14:13

He needs to be able to shoot a 15' shot. I don't know that - TheWildcat STL - 7/17 08:27:56

He's a basketball player; it's a basketball drill. - tigerdb MU - 7/17 08:22:54

Fiji would know if he ever played that it is quite normal - TheWildcat STL - 7/17 08:24:04

No, that is a waste of his time. Hopefully it doesnt - FIJItiger MU

- 7/17 08:30:22

Mizzou wants to space teams out - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/17 08:42:18

That wouldn't space teams out. It would - FIJItiger MU

- 7/17 08:45:22

Tilmon able to shoot from 15 feet forces - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/17 08:49:22

Would require facing a very poor coach or an - FIJItiger MU

- 7/17 08:55:33

a wide open 15 footer isn’t a bad shot - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/17 08:58:07

Teams would've been foolish to let Shaq shoot 15 footers?(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 08:59:51

did Shaq work on that part of his game? - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/17 09:08:57

"a wide open 15 footer isn't a bad shot" - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:11:36

If Tilmon makes 50-60% of those shots - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/17 09:22:31

50-60%? Goodness. - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:25:12

Tilmon probably took less than 10 of those all year - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/17 09:34:24

It's not like he's just shooting a few dozen a day. - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:35:53

That’s a misquote he’s not taking 1000 3’s a day - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/17 09:41:49

Cool. Buttresses my point even more. (nm) - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:42:58

If he shows that he has developed a skill in practice - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/17 09:49:50

I can't even begin to explain how dumb you are sounding - Cosmo MU

- 7/17 09:32:59

Great example of why people don't like you right here - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 7/17 09:26:45

You are being purposefully obtuse and it's why people - Cosmo MU

- 7/17 09:14:23

You've yet to discuss the topic at all. - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:15:35

Again, obtuse - Cosmo MU

- 7/17 09:31:19

So your entire goal is to not to discuss the topic and to - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:37:59

Message boarding is serious business, I know - Cosmo MU

- 7/17 09:40:11

I'm not upset and don't take it seriously. - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 09:41:58

From Basketball to life lessons, The Teeji Wheeler story(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 7/17 09:52:01

But I say you're upset and now you're insulting me - Cosmo MU

- 7/17 09:48:34

And, I didn't insult you. I see you for what you are(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 20:53:31

You’re welcome.* - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 13:48:26

What was his shooting % from 15 feet or more this year? - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 08:51:11

lol (nm) - Cosmo MU

- 7/17 08:46:45

No one is saying JT shooting 3's wouldn't be great. - tjwheeler UI - 7/17 08:44:45

fair point...I've never seen a game with cones on the floor(nm) - tigerdb MU - 7/17 08:04:34

Lol(nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/17 08:14:15

dumb(nm) - MizzouAstro MU

Working on ball handling and short range jumpers is - tgr MU

- 7/17 07:48:07

And that's why nobody listens to you when it comes to - alwaysright MU - 7/17 07:22:46

Some around here still think he has any clue what he's talki - Mizzmi27 MU - 7/17 08:48:08

RE: Seems like an unnecessary skill set to work on - sYsTiger MU - 7/17 07:21:40

you know almost zero about the game of basketball - Jeff85 MU - 7/17 06:23:30

lol (nm) - Cosmo MU

- 7/16 22:01:23

Shaq was measured at the combine as 7'1, 303 lbs - Macgrantt MU - 7/16 21:17:38

I watched a youtube with Wilt and Bill Russell talking - alstl MU - 7/16 21:45:43

Those two were dramatically more atheltic and skilled than - alwaysright MU - 7/17 07:25:28

I'm willing to bet he's gonna be our MVP - JG MU

- 7/16 20:25:07

I don’t see him being more valuable than JP - MoGold MU - 7/16 20:29:19

It won't matter, if he still commits a foul every 1.2 secs. - go tigers MU

- 7/16 19:17:20

half the calls against him were non-existent(nm) - afleet MU - 7/16 22:31:25

If we’re not running ball screens 35 feet from the basket. - JohnGalt MU - 7/16 20:40:07

RE: It won't matter, if he still commits a foul every 1.2 secs. - MOCO SON MU - 7/16 19:23:21

I see him playing 25 mpg - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/16 19:28:39

I 100% agree - longtimereader MU - 7/17 14:03:58

If Tilmon has improved both could easily increase - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/17 15:51:29

nm - go tigers MU

- 7/16 19:18:26

Oh I have no doubt it is a priority to teach him to play
