I definitely fall into the 'old' crowd..... but those comments weren't all that long ago, lol..... Coleman was certainly a long shot to make it into the NBA draft previously.... but barring a late NCAA season collapse. I feel he is a likely 2nd round prospect now.....

You dont get to see players grow & mature anymore.
Watching Hawkins step up post injury & TSJ suspension is pretty cool after last year.
Speaking of crashing the glass. Its fun to see Goode show up as a rebounder and paint prescence the last few games...

That's because he is a grown man! He's got that Dad strength already.
I read this and envisioned Coward lying on the therapist's couch, crying and then opening his eyes only to realize that his therapist was Brad Underwood. Then Coward screamed. Hahaha
CoHawkacorn?
Yes - the substitution pattern was obviously odd tonight, but one thing that was clear was Ty needed to be on the court, he offensive aggressiveness has found a new gear and his defensive intensity is always high, he's our glue guy. When he develops a mid-range jump shot - which he will, he's going to be one of the best players in the big ten before he's done

For the longest time...Coleman was the type of player I would get frustrated at. I felt like throwing my remote at the TV at times, I'd yell so loud that people within a 5 mile radius probably thought they heard me or my powerful farts.
Now...he's rocking it. Playing his best basketball of his college career. He's been more consistent. Just flat out ballin'. What a story.

I hope you all listen to COLEMAN in this clip. This is fantastic!!

Announcers said that was Michigan's first game of the season against a ranked team. Nice scheduling
I assume Juwan steps away for health reasons at the EOS so they don’t have to fire him.

Yeah. Obviously comes from a solid family background, is patient and has worked hard. Lots of us note this on the Board regularly but when you watch him in isolation during the games the small things he does... the footwork, the defensive positioning, the movement on offense without the ball, the passing (>95% of them)... it's sublime and such a treat to enjoy. I love the little details about the game that create turnovers, stops and offensive opportunities. CoHawk does it all. I was so pleased last evening to see him shine, particularly down the stretch.
And Quincy, man... if only we'd had him from the outset, what a beast.
Also, Michigan is not bad. We're just a lot better that they are. After we punched them in the mouth early they hung with us for around 20 mins before we began to pull away 5-6 mins into the 2H after deciding to play consistent defense. For some reason I focused on McDaniel and Nkamhoua, who were really effective. Didn't realize until I got home that Reed had 20 and led them in scoring. We wore them down on D in the 2H. Once McDaniel started launching bricks from behind the arc, and Coleman seized kids' lunch money every other time down the floor, it was over.
So is Dain just a liability now? 3-4 minutes a game to make a sweet pass, play crap defense and get a foul? What's going on with this guy?

"I'm disappointed in your lack of academic application, and we have rules concerning that, but not so disappointed that I'm willing throw away the entire season by benching you at home and putting my job, and thus the pro prospects of my son, at risk."
Yeah, call me a cynic.
Ya gonna take Coleman out to put Dain in?

I guess my frustration is that Dain just isn't getting it. Its like he just ignores whatever the coaches are saying and does whatever. Coleman seems fine but sometimes it looks like Quincy is gassed and Dain being at least useable would help with that.
