Re: Game 17/6 - Bucknell

A little bit of a frustrating first half. Over 50% from the field and a ridiculous 8/10 from 3 offset by giving up a 30% offensive rebound rate (Bucknell collected 6 offensive boards on 19 misses) and 9 turnovers. Going to need to tighten up the little things in the second half or else Lehigh has to...

Re: C.J. coming back to stabler

Well deserved honor for CJ. Makes me wonder if anything else in the cards around the ceremony - like a donation or naming honor for CJ. Also seems like a great recruiting opportunity. I would expect that the staff is inviting every underclassman prospect they are recruiting to that game - show them ...

Re: Men's Update

At his best Porter is a hustle/glue guy. Some of his better efforts last year were 8 points and 5 boards in 20 minutes against Princeton and 7 points and 4 boards in 26 minutes against MSM. Shot a bit over 50% from the floor, but in limited attempts. I also recall Reed lauding his communication on t...

Re: Tom Gilmore.

Apologies, last post came out snarkier than I intended. Just hope the candidate field wasn't arbitrarily reduced to certain personality types rather than performance.

Re: Tom Gilmore.

Excellent post. You hit the nail on the head in characterizing Tom. He is a 'throwback' and some today don't like that mentality, but think he is one who can also adapt. Your quote, highlighted above, is an excellent description of a leader. The attitude of 'hating to lose more, than wanting to win...

Re: Lehigh Recruiting Class

Interesting quote from an opposing coach of Reed Fenton's after Fenton's Latrobe had a win earlier this week. In reference to Fenton (and a well regarded teammate): “They’re both Division-I kids and Reed, with his jump shot, his poise and the way he plays, he’s a special, special player, he really i...

Re: Game 14/3: Holy Cross

Even though it is early, this is a pretty huge road trip coming up. The first two wins were nice, but playing two of the leagues weakest at home doesn't mean much. Winning both this week would put Lehigh in the driver's seat for the regular season title. KenPom has both games close but Lehigh a dog ...

Re: Tom Gilmore.

I hope someone asks the question at the press conference what his plans are for the offensive/current staff. That's the next important question. I imagine the offensive staff will all stay, plus the DC that Gilmore knows. Anyone have any info? Given the press release quote about a "smooth and ...

Re: Game 13/2 - Loyola

It's not totally black and white, but Reed usually gives it away walk-on status in season previews and other articles. I don't know why Reed talks about his walk-ons like this and think it is unnecessary, but he does it every single season. From this years Lehighsports preview. "Zed Farrell and...

Re: Tom Gilmore.

Yikes, that is incredibly unexciting. A .500 coach recently fired by a conference rival does not exactly bring enthusiasm to the fan base.

Surprised it took so long considering Gilmore's Wake Forest season ended on 12/22. Maybe Joe struck out on a few guys?
