On the BTN post-game Tim Doyle was critical of the foul, and I just thought it was a heat of the moment thing, but maybe it was advised by Bo.<BR/><BR/>As for frightening players, good question. Most of the guys in recent memory were too one-dimensional, either shooters or finishers, and Gordon can do both. Drew Neitzel in that game in Lansing last year? Dee Brown? He never really went off on us. Minnesota's Vincent Grier had a big game against us where he was unstoppable.<BR/><BR/>Remember when I said I saw Hughes wince at the start of the Purdue game? Saw something similar early on last night, and you're right ajs, he's not right. Having gone through many ankle injuries myself, those can heal enough for you to play and move laterally, but leave you weaker as a leaper, which affects Pop's jumper. We play four games on a regular rotation before a week off after Michigan State, hopefully he can get healed then.Coach Scott Tappahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305139824550837927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791900055012948732.post-63371997461478280852008-02-14T15:09:00.000-06:002008-02-14T15:09:00.000-06:00I agree on your take w/ fouling Gordon.

I've read/heard a lot of people saying this was a dumb foul and whatever. But I agree- It put EG on the line having to make both to take the lead and gave us ample time on the other end.<BR/>It may not have necessarily called in the huddle by Bo to have IU fouled but the situation lent itself to it. -No easy hoops!-<BR/><BR/>Trevon is not right...his ankle is still bothering him. This might be the TH we see down the stretch. JBo needs to continue to stretch the D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791900055012948732.post-51581599932866146732008-02-14T11:51:00.000-06:002008-02-14T11:51:00.000-06:00I agree with your thoughts on the game T. Let me a...I agree with your thoughts on the game T. Let me ask you this question. Can you remember another player that was more terrifying to defend than Gordon? In the second half he got what he wanted, when he wanted it, and that is with an outstanding on-ball defender on him.<BR/><BR/>It makes you appreciate the decision Bo made to foul him with time left on the clock. He must have thought that Gordon was going to either score or get to the line with little time left, and decided to either win or lose on offense, rather than defense. That's balls right there, and I can't remember another coach making a decision like that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
