I have something more like this in my head. Not necessarily a date, but more of a shirtless athletic bonding moment. I'm just not sure which one is Maverick and which one is Goose, however.

DB is definitely Iceman.

Louisville is Viper

But he could for poor spacing, ill timed passes, holding the ball to long in the shot clock, not cutting, not pushing the pace, not going to the correct lane on breaks... I mean there was a lot and then to try an win games, the winners tried to win like the pick up game they basically ended up playing.

CH is not a PG (or not even a point forward) but he was kind of forced to be one. I think the solution is not too hard. Find the right PG to reduce his responsibility on ball distribution. Make him a 3D player who can also do a little bit of everything else. I think CH is a perfect role player (college or NBA) if he can knock down threes. Just don't make him the center of your offense system until he is ready (if that ever comes.)

From the highlights…is RayJ basically what Austin Hutcherson was thought to be as a player?

No. They are pretty much opposites. Hutcherson is a very athletic wing who projected to play above the rim. RayJ is a skilled point guard with good court vision.

Still say the best comp I’ve ever heard from CH is a modern version of Joakim Noah. Plays with energy/edge, offensive rebounds, can play make (Bulls ran Joakim as point center for a while when Rose and other PGS were hurt), but CH is more defensively versatile and theoretically can stretch the floor.

All of which is to say I think we can unlock several additional levels of Coleman with a plus PG.

I spent three years sentenced to Chanute AFB during my time at the UI (My wife was an active duty AF nurse while I went school after my first 7 years on active duty). Rantoul only had a few redeeming qualities back then:

- Its' proximity to CU and the University;
- Garcia's Pizza (still one of the best pizza's I had outside of Italy); and
- The Hitchin' Post right outside the main gate of the base, where Ethyl and the Octanes frequently played.

It was often said you do not move to Rantoul; you are sentenced there.

I met Craig Vetter when he and his crew had a shop in an alley. He called the locals "the toolies."
