Big Roy "FINALLY" is getting the rock!

It might have taking some time, some years, but Roy is getting something he's always so desired. The Rock! I can honestly Roy has been patient and still going about his daily routine amid the negative talk sometimes. No matter what he's always been a loyal teammate especially when the going got rough. He hasn't gotten the ball when he's wanted it. Still patient. Still produced. Guess what? Roy Hibbert is getting the ball now.

THIS SEASON:

BIG ROY IS HAPPY NOW, SO KEEP GIVING HIM THE BALL!

"As much as I've watched Hibbert play and coached against him (14 yrs. old) Potomac Valley AAU (PG County) and his hard work ethic, dedication to his teammates is really amazing to watch him develop up until now, and just think he's still not finished. I always knew Roy had a "plethora" of moves, just keep giving him the ball!

 

"We have a trust and we've been playing together for a long time and you can see it in everyone's eyes they wanted to give me the ball with deep positioning and they knew I was either gonna finish it or get fouled." 

"I think they're testing me and you know that's a big you're always gonna have to protect the basket no matter I can get dunked three times in a row so that doesn't faze me you know this what I am. I'm a rim protector, I'm a Georgetown Hoya, you know the lineage right there it is what it is.  - Roy Hibbert

"But Hibbert has been reborn these  past two months and has been the Pacers’ best player in the two victories over the Knicks" - Bob Kravitz (Indy Star)

"The way these guy play, it's tough to get the ball into the post and you can fall into the trap of overfeeding it," Vogel said. "That leads to high turnover nights. You have to take advantage of the opportunity and we were able to get it to him at times, still not enough to my liking, but he got a lot of stuff on pure effort on the offensive glass. Just a great effort by him all the way around."  I sort of disagree with "most" this statement. Reason? If you're not going to play inside/out basketball and play with the ball along the perimeter this will cause just as many turnover's at high rate because you're not playing inside/out basketball, but when you're playing the game of basketball the right way inside/out, you won't have as many turnovers in a game. FACT! It's a point guard/guards job to make  this happen. NO EXCUSES! If you have a smart, tough and savvy point guard this wouldn't an issue. NO EXCUSES! No defense can't stop heart and determination. NONE! ...I hope this continues...

Point guard play/Clock management

“I looked up at the clock and said, ‘I better get a shot off.’”

I will continue my journey talking about point guard play and how essential it is to winning in basketball. A point guard's decision making in the crucial moments of a game can be the difference maker. Clock management is part of the point guard's job description. Watching the Los Angeles Clippers game last with the score tied at 91 made with 13.9 seconds to go into the game Chris Paul's clock management instincts automatically kick in. It seemed Paul looked at the clock more than once, but I think the last time he looked at the game clock was at the .14 second of the video as he finds a way to get pass Memphis Grizzley's Tony Allen. This is why every team from youth, high school, college and the pro ranks need a "true point guard."

.14 seconds on video Chris Paul looks up at the clock & perhaps earlier also

Some things I've learned from this season

Brand New Day - Sting

During this March Madness I learned so many things about the different teams. I read so many stories about each team. I read and learned other team's solutions on what they did to keep winning in the this national tournament. As bad as I feel/felt about the Florida Gulf Coast loss, I still went back and did my own research on this team's success and why they dunked so many times on us. It started in practice.

I learned that FGCU Coach Andy Enfield tells his team to throw the ball to the basket instead of lob the ball the ball to a player's hands. I guess it's easier to do this when you're in transition. FGCU didn't have many posts player's or any for that matter. I would still my guards especially with a post player or players to do the same, but also give the bigs some no look bounces and tell them to go to work.

I learned that the our wings on both sides of the court, after a rebound, need to sprint down the court as the point guard pushes the ball and looks up and passes to one of the wings for quick baskets. I also learned from watching two of the Washington D.C.'s area's best from the legendary school and Coach Morgan Wooten, DeMatha High School's Keith Bogans and Joe Forte, where both were McDonald's High School All Americans in the same season.

The Hoyas can still run their offense when needed. I learned from listening to Michigan Final Four Coach Belein that Louisville Coach Pitino changes defenses rapidly something I should've already known from watching the Hoyas beat them every season.

I learned our guards need to FIRST look into the post and pass the ball in there to their big people. Trust your bigs, encourage your big's when they get the ball to go to work. The Hoyas need lots more bounce passes inside to the post. No look bounce passes as well. Step right, or step left and whichever side your big is on get him the ball, no excuses. Guards should attack at will even if the Hoyas are running their offense. This has to be the point guard/guard's mentality each and everytime out. Great player's will find a way. Communication is the key.

To be successful during the season and in tournament time. PLAY EVERYONE or MOST.

My Ravens got knocked around for a few years in the playoffs to get to the Superbowl, people were saying will your team ever get over the hump? My answer back was sure, one day. This day February 3 came with a Superbowl win so:

For our Hoyas!

The Big East Conference's Louisville Cardinals close the season and conference out in grand style

ONE SHINING MOMENT! Click here

 First off, congratulations to the 2013 Big East Tourney and National Champion Louisville Cardinals for the amazing run and victory!

"This is the toughest team I've ever coached," said Louisville's Coach Rick Pitino after his team had won the 2013 Men's National Championship Tournament last night in Atlanta's Georgia Dome with over 75,000 fans. A fan for March Madness record breaking night.

Yes, Louisville was the number one seed in the tourney and proved every minute of it. They were riding a 15 game winning streak. It seem after losing three games in a row Pitino and his crew knew they had work to do. Before the game both Final Four coaches answered questions about the game.

Runner up Coach Belein was asked how would he respond to Pitino's adjustments, his response, "you can't (elbow bump to Pitino), Pitino is always making adjustments the whole game, you just have to go with the flow of the game with this team. This is what makes them so great." Pitino was receptive, thankful, and respectful towards Belein. 

I was on Twitter tweeting the game for most of the first half, but was locked out for almost the whole second half of the game from loading too many tweets. But it was cool I went on Facebook and comment more about the game. I'll try to gather all my tweets from the big game, put them here on my blog for everyone to see my comments on the game. I don't think I want to see them, it was fun seeing the Big East go out with a bang and prove ALL the people that were saying the Big Ten is the best conference this season. Wrong it was still the Big East. The Big East Rules and Ruled!  

I wrote in my last blog and even tweeted and facebooked before this game, this game would be a game of runs, it would be like a track meet on the basketball court, it would be a slugest like the Ali/Frazier fight, and it was. It was more. It was EVERYTHING you could imagine this time of the season. March Madness! Early in the first half I said, this was one of the greatest tournament first halves I've EVER seen, and I been watching these game's since early childhood.

That's a long time. Louisville's Peyton Siva had a lot to prove especiall after Michigan's point guard Trey Burke has gotten all the awards. Peyton proved who was the better point guard this March madness night.

All the odds were against him. He overcame. I think Peyton is perhaps the fastest point guard in the college game. He guided his team full throttle. Although, Wolverine's Burke got two fouls midway through the the first half he sat for the rest of the half, but I think knowingly as a coach I would of detected Louisville was going to make a run before the half. They did, and Trey Burke was on the bench biting his fingernails in a Lebronish way.

Luke Luke Hancock...Luke Skywalker ...he reminds of a superstar. A Star Wars superstar. He was a winner too. He after all was playing for his ailing dad. A former George Mason University star, after his his former coach Jim Larranga left for the Miami job Luke asked his coach, "can I come with you?" Coach Larranga said, "I don't think so." Luke called his former coach up again, and told him he wanted to transfer. Coach Larranga asked where to Luke? Luke said, "Louisville or Michigan." LOL...Louisville it was!

There are so many stories from March Madness from start to finish. It really leaves me in awe of this 68 team tournament ever single year and it's truly historical and amazing!

LUKE SKYWALKER

The funniest part of the game for me? I'm still laughing my face off. The end of the game coaches go to shake hands and BOOM BOOM loud fireworks go off inside of the Atlanta Georgia Dome. The fireworks seemed extra loud and boy ole boy you should of seen Coach Pitino almost literally jump out of his suit! Haha and that way he tried to play if off by rubbing his hand backwords over his doo and scaredly and shockingly congratulating the opposing coaches hands. Oh, by the way I'm still laughing so hard at this one. I bet ya the ole legendary, newly 2013 National Champion, Hall of Famer thought it was an attack of some sort, and I know that was not one shining moment. LOL...check the video out! hahahaha...

After it's all said and done you'll see the love and respect of the game

So long Big East, it was real for 33 years, I always love you and never forget!!!

As for my Georgetown Hoyas!

The Road Ends Here...

What can I say, one more day of March Madness, well actually two. On the women's side Lousiville, and Connecticut will bump heads in the finals of the Final Four tomorrow in New Orleans. On the men's side, "The Road Ends Here." A moment the college hoops junkies can't wait for. The final moment. Every season I look forward to seeing this in the ending of the final college basketball game. "One Shining Moment!"

Michigan vs. Louisville

Big Ten vs. Big East

Two great point guards leading their teams

Trey Burke vs. Peyton Siva 

I can imagine this game like a track meet on the basketball court. The first half will go very fast. The second half a little slower, but not much. I also think this game will come down to foul shooting and making free throws for both teams. Will Mitch McGary have another great performance tonight (double double)? Will both Peyton Siva and Trey Burke have better games than their last semifinal game. Will Michigan be able to handle Louisville's press?

Will Michigan throw the press back on Louisville, and if so, will Louisville be able to hande it. Who will come out of the gates first and not look back. As one would imagine this game will probably be a slugfest as one would imagine.

I would expect it. Big Ten vs. Big East. It's gets no better than this because these were the two power conferences this season. Two great coaches both legends in their own ways. I call them the masterminds of the game of college hoops. Their philosophies, caring and ability to to understand the younger generation and to teach and mentor them.

These are the good coaches and they deserve and earn the right to be here in the final game. I think deep inside both coaches Pitino and Belein are just as excited as their players. I would be too it's a life dream to be in the madness to play in the Final Four, wow, it's like you're a little kid all over again because it'll be "One Shining Moment" for Michigan or Louisville. Who's your pick? Mine, Louisville, I have to represent my conference. Go Cardinals!

The call it the "dream" so, one can only imagine.

Point guard direction's during March Madness is key

I've talk about it many many times. Point guard play, and how it's so "critical" and "valuable" especially during tournament play. Without having a true point guard is like having spaghetti without the meatballs and the sauce. A point guard is what makes the team go. The meatballs and sauce is what makes the spaghetti taste good (make's it go lol). I guess I can put it in those terms where everyone understands what I'm talking about how "critical" point guard play is.

As we can see this year's March Madness tourney is no different from any other year as far as point guard play, and how it dictates how far your team will survive and advance. The leadership, being an extension of the coach on the court, getting teammates the ball (unselfish), good decision making, controlling the tempo of a game, clock management (always aware), communication/point communication.

The point guard should also know who's in foul trouble for their opponents, and when to go at them to get them in severe foul trouble. The point guard duties are tremendous and comes with a big responsibility. Another words the point guard should be well rounded on all these things and being able to handle pressure by welcoming it and taking it as a challenge. I do find "natural" point guards have these traits, and this makes their job a lot easier.

As we can see we're here in Final Four land, and we can see what got these four teams here. Steady point guard play.  Here are some links I have on point guard play and even a couple of my own links as well please click below:

Point guard play critical to surviving and advancing

Burke, MCW create rare elite point guard matchup

Here are some other articles I've read during March Madness, I love the stories:

Trey Burke is the most important player in the Final Four

I guess you could say I'll be cheering for the Wolverines to beat Syracuse! haha Go Blue!

Point guard play critical to surviving and advancing through March Madness

Although I felt the hurt of losing in the NCAA's, I had to put that energy to use by doing some research and reading up on the team that knock us out of the biggest college basketball tournaments Florida Gulf Coast. I guess you could I'm just emphasizing point guard play can be so dominating in this tournament. I do know that point guard is always the leader position in hoops. He/she is the extension of the coach on the floor. Also, the point guard controls the tempo of the game, has clock management skills and make all the decisions of knowing when to attack or when to set up the offense amongst other things as well.

It's basically having an understanding of how the game of basketball is to be played from this position. The point guard's "job announcement" as long as any other position in basketball. If your point guard goes, you go, if your point guard doesn't go, your offense doesn't go, it's as simple as that. The teams that advance in the NCAA's normally have great point guard play year in and year out.

I wanted to use Florida Gulf Coast's sensation  Brett Comer "true" point guard play as an example as to what I'm talking about. I know, I know they just beat us and made history, but that's cool because we are history -- We Are Georgetown!

Well, doing my research and knowing some facts about FGCU makes me feel better. I guess you could say it's "rehabilitating" for me, as I get through these next two weeks of March Madness.

Of cousre they're other great a few true point guards playing in this tournament but I chose Comer because I found how interesting it was that he played alongside Mickey D's All American guard Austin Rivers, the son of Celtics coach Doc Rivers.

Here are some stories I picked to share with you about point guard. Again, this was hard for me to do. I had to question myself many times about putting this articles on my blog. I'm okay with it, and I hope you are too. Click here>Great point guard play in the 2013 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament 

How did Lipscomb beat Florida Gulf Coast ....Twice! Two words, Brett Comer ... Click here>I ran into this article tweeted on Twitter from Sports Illustrated

As you saw on TV, they’re really good in the open floor,” Lipscomb Coach Sanderson said. “It’s not brain surgery. [Brett] Comer’s just very, very good in the open floor … He sees guys, he see cutters, he sees jump shooters. He’s the one who makes them go.”

“Style of play for them is important,” he added. “How teams play is very, very important. Teams that get up and down floor and play fast is what they do.”
FGCU was able to exploit Georgetown’s relative slowness with their uptempo spread attack, and a team like San Diego State, without dominant size and focused heavily on athletic guard play, was a strong matchup for these Eagles. Sanderson also echoed what a number of coaches say at this time of the year: Some teams benefit greatly from getting out of league play and into an environment where opponents don’t know their tendencies or personnel as well.

We're long, we're athletic and we like to run,'' said Enfield, standing outside the FGCU locker room long after the win. "I felt if we could get Georgetown into our kind of game, we have a real good chance to win.'' These words are antithetical to the concept of the upset, which is often achieved when a slower team grinds a faster one down to its speed; and to the nature of college basketball in 2013, where half-court offense is so tightly managed and coaches so controlling that scores struggled to reach 60. FGCU, located in Fort Myers, Fla., is the opposite of all that.

I have to give my homeboy FGCU assistant point guard Coach Kevin Norris (Lake Clifton High School/Miami U) from Baltimore mad credit for helping FGCU's point guard Brett Comer along the way the last two years. Comer's is watching over and has got to be proud that he has someone special to mentor and teach him more about his position...point guard play. 

Point guard play is my life!

Hoya Saxa!

The day after

"Some defeats are only installments to victory" - Jacob A. Riis

The day after Hoyanation. I was really stunned about our loss and what was going on at the time, but didn't give up cheering my Hoyas on because I knew sooner or later they would recover the almost did but it wasn't enough. I don't want to go into too much detail about this game. I think I'll just let nature takes it's course with me. I seem to be doing okay . I didn't fall asleep until 4:30 Saturday morning, but I had enough rest. I took care of some things here on the homefront today, but knew I had to write. I understand and I love this team, and I'm very proud of the Hoyas! They were amazing all year. I can't really put my head down because of their accomplishments.

You can't be mad or upset with this team and their coaching staff. The accomplishments and adjustments a coach had to make without your other star player was masterful and right on point. Things could have quickly went to the left, but didn't.

The Hoyas stepped their game up all the way around and won. I mean there are reason's why a team lost a game, even if it's a big tournament game. "One team came to play, and one team came to fight." - Jay Bilas

Florida Gulf Coast U's fan support had lots of energy. The next thing you know most of the Wells Fargo Arena was on fire for the Coast. As the Hoyas staged a furious comeback I was still trying to match the Coast's intensity on our side it lol. There was enough time to stage a comeback and the Hoyas did. There was a foot violation called on FGCU, the Hoyas got the ball back, but then a foul was quickly called on the Hoyas. Not a good call what was used of our team having the ball if you're gonna take it right back? Critcal call on a crucial run. RS-Sophomore Aaron Bowen came off of the bench with vengence two immediate dunks

Off the record, my NFL football team, for a few the Ravens got their butts kicked in the playoffs. They were so close many times. I mean there were times when my team got butts kicked so bad where it made me cry. This is no different. Why? Because the Hoyas are my team. It's all about the old blue and gray. We Are Georgetown. Hoya Saxa! What Rocks! My Ravens a few years later, February 3, 2013, on my birthday too now ain't that a blessing. Wow, it's still a WOW for me. I still can't believe it. I went to go to the Super Bowl parade in Baltimore (pic to the right).The biggest parade in the history of any Superbowl. Amazing it was and this season look so close to this same path or still could be, why not.

The Hoyas will not give up and keep growing as a team and perhaps win a title in the near future.

Critics, I understand it's your job and some of you really don't understand, or don't want to understand or just really don't like our team. No worries. We do, I'm sure the Hoyas fans can attest to this this. No matter what, I always give a team credit when it's do. Never, would I be a biased fan. True, yes. 

Did the NCAA Selection committee do their homework as far as seeding Florida Gulf Coast U #15? On twitter: @DanWolken of the USA Today Sports I said it on Sunday. "Georgetown should have been really ticked about this matchup. FGCU shouldn’t have been a 15. Still...come on."

I don't think so as well as the most of the media. Looking at the roster most of their players where state champions for their respective high schools or highly ranked players. Click here

There was some great recruiting going on here, I don't know how so many did see or talk about this. Maybe some saw this and didn't pick up on it. Whatever the case I picked up on it, and know if I were in the selection committee room I would've given decent seeding, but I guess it worked out for the betterment of the Eagles any. It seem to give them fuel to the fire.  

This team could easily be a Final Four team many reasons. One reason is their point guard Brett Comer and the Coast's and Baltimore native Assistant coach Kevin Norris, nickname "Stink." Click here . He's a driving force in Comer's play for FGCU. Comer also know's his long time coach, his dad is the other driving force as well. Norris, an high school All-City point guard alongside his teammate and former George Washington player Shawnta Rogers. I found another article on Coach Norris and this is before he came to the Florida Gulf Coast. Click here. Those two were some tough and smart point guards.

There is a Baltimore connection here. Shawnta Rogers grew up in my neighborhood as I was already an adult. I've had the opportunity to play against Rogers a few times. Gutsy kid he was, but we won the game on the outside basketball courts at Herring Run Middle School in Baltimore. These are two of the greatest small point guards that came of the Baltimore City's high school hotbed of player's since Muggsy Bogues. Point guard play is so vital all the time, but especially in a tournament game like this one. Hoya Saxa! We Are Georgetown!

"Man maintains his balance, poise, and sense of security only as he is moving forward." - Maxwell Maltz

It's a new season, it's March Madness!

Well, Hoyanation March Madness is here, and the Hoyas have earned their keep and a number 2 seed in the South bracket of the NCAA's no matter what it took. The great thing about this is they're not done yet. The new season starts on Friday 6:50 p.m. in the "City of Brotherly Love." Philadelphia, PA (Wells Fargo Center) against the champion of the Atlantic Sun Conference Florida Gulf Coast Eagles. I guess you could say the Eagles were mighty happy on CBS Sports Selection Sunday when they found out they were playing the Hoyas. Eagles Coach Andy Enfield says his team likes to run, later on in the video he says, "ironically John Thompson Sr. (it's Jr.not Sr. o_O) is suppose to interview me. He has a show in Washington, D.C. so I'm gonna tell him (jokingly) we play a slow down game that we play forty minutes of zone and that we don't guard anyone." Well, thanks for already telling and making this video Coach Enfield and letting us know you're a running team. I'm sure game film shows this. By the way, I thought Eagles soared, not ran.  

Did you know the coach of Florida Gulf Coast's wife was a supermodel? Click here

Hoyanation, the Hoyas "Started From The Bottom, now they here!

I'm dancing! The moment!  I've been taking it all in and enjoy seeing my team start from the bottom and rise to the top of the college hoops world one game at a time, and it's an honor to watch the old blue and gray march and dance in 2013 March Madness. The Hoyas are ready to go full throttle now in this new season one practice, and one game at a time. Step it up a notch and go for it! Take it! It's your's! All the memories from last season to through this season, "good and bad." Overcoming adversity to over exceed expectations. Defense, defense, defense and more defense, and the will to want to play it. Communication and point communication is key. Great to see our team enjoy their times of their lives their dreams of playing in the NCAA tournament and in perhaps their dreams coming true. The Hoyas have legitimate shot at I BELIEVE! I know you do too Hoyanation. Let's enjoy this ride and cheer on Georgetown Hoyas on the Road To The Final Four.

I would like to give everyone a shout out who reads this blog. I really appreciate meeting you talking with you here or on the road. Thank you for complients as well. A Hoya salute!

Orange Crushed

Georgetown, Heart of The Champion

What a way got go out Hoyanation! The Hoyas went out with a boom! It was College Game Day in the nation's capital. Hey, I'll take it, atmosphere and the game was special, and will  always be. Very memorable. The Hoyas wanted it! They took it, I mean literally took it!.When you play DEFENSE like the Hoyas do this is what happens you take matters into your own hands as far as concerned, basketball wise. 

They held the orangemen to 39 points. Score 61-39 all Hoyas. It was a beat down which ended a legendary Big East conference super rivalry between the two teams.  I heard people saying, and it have some validity in it, "it's hard to beat a team twice," me, beat Syracuse worse than you beat them before! The Hoyas did! It's amazing when you know your team. 

Coach Thompson on how special the game was "It's special because the Big East, as we have known it, is ending," Thompson III said. "Georgetown won the first one, and now Georgetown's won the last. So that means a lot."

The sense of urgency was on full blast with all the legends from the past. The fight for the Big East regular season title on the line. It was what I call a nice "team bounceback game" from the Hoyas' previous loss against Villanova. I don't think there's nowhere Syracuse could go. The Hoyas had most pathways close, hands up. The communication/point communication was extrordinary. I guess with all the legends of the past in the house it was respectful gesture of Hoya Paranoia from the now and future Hoyas. 

A Hoyasalute to the one's that came before them. During the game they showed 1984 National Champion Michael Graham on the big screen, and I all I could do was sit there imagining what was going on for split second from the past and now. It was good to see and talk to him and tell him they were playing with your demeanor. John Duren, Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning and son Tre.

Good to see and talk with Tre after the game outside the phone booth. Caught up with my high school JV quarterback and.school mate and former 1984 National Champion David Wingate outside the arena. We stopped and talk and went back the good ole days and went our separate ways. That was original. A kid that once played on the best high school team ever with Muggsy Bogues, Hoya Reggie Williams, the late Reggie Lewis and many more from the high school legendary basketball program out of Baltimore, Maryland, Paul Lawrence Dunbar High School (Poets).

"I don't want anything to get clouded: It's not over. We hope to go up to New York and play well and win that. And then we hope to play well and win the NCAA tournament," Thompson III said. "I'm not saying we've accomplished our goals, by any stretch of the imagination."
