Coach's Show with Kim English

Both Coach English and Felton were very positive on Polite and his knowledge of the playbook...made it sound like he'd be back soon, even though he's only been in 2 practices.

I'm assuming the jumps in the recording were just technical glitches and not intentional editing. Loved hearing Kim's thoughts, but some questions and responses were just ruined by untimely glitches.
There were several pauses in the live stream, so I think your assumption is correct.

I hope you all had a chance to watch the coaches show tonight. It was a great one. Just reaffirms for the umpteenth time that we got the right coach.

A couple of take aways:
If you can watch that and not be excited about coach, the team and this program, there is something seriously wrong with you.

You should want to stand and cheer your hearts out for this team. We need to make them feel the love and make the visitors feel our hate.

This latest KE show is a first time for.me. i can see why 4*'s are all of sudden giving mason serious look. He is charismatic and knowlegeable about what it takes to get to the league.

Most exciting that he's speaking about oduro in terms of "only scratching his potential" and "long term nba career".


Wow!!...i am actually revved up to see what happens next.

Wasn’t he practically quoting you about potentially being the best ever at Mason?
Had to show Oduro love!

Dude came into Mason from Paul VI Hs just 3 miles from campus and no rating *'s, worked his a$$ off to become a beast and possibly the best big in mason history. Yes, I know about George Evans. I think Josh will pass him when it's all said and done!
Found your post. Others on here say you are behind the times. Maybe you are just way ahead...

Gonna be one Hell of a Senior season to overtake George Evans' ROY and 3x POY career as the the best big man in history.
I don't think that they are saying he will have the best performance over the entirety. I interpreted as meaning that at the completion of their college career, which was performing at the highest level.

Yes. What was their ceiling? Evans came in and pretty much was at or near his ceiling from day 1.

If Oduro does somehow make the NBA and sticks around even for a single season, not sure how you don’t say he’s at least top 2. He might have to take this team to the promised land in order to take the number 1 spot (still hard to see him as better than Evans or Thomas right now in my mind). And it’s entirely possible that this team wins 3 or 4 in a row in March and is sitting in The Dance THIS YEAR! they have their flaws but they’ve competed against everyone they’ve played so far. I don’t see a team they couldn’t beat (not saying they will).

Oduro with a solid PG??? Could be better than a 10 trip to Europe.

At 35:22 on the coaches show posted today, Coach mentions seeing a student in the student section on his laptop on film, and how disappointing that is. Guess Coach English doesn't know that that's the cheerleading coach setting a poor example in the student section. Maybe English can pull some strings and get that situation rectified - ensure that the front row is filled with die-hards instead of uninspiring staff.

FWIW they did hire a fan engagement person recently so any and all ideas probably need to go through her. Hopefully at some point I can talk to them since myself and @MasonFanatic still have ideas on what the student section needs to bring back. Even simple things like "Wearing gold" and giving out gold tshirts for bigger games.

Noticed that they announced a giveaway (gift card?) for student fan of the game at the UR game.

That’s cool at least. I have no idea what the plan is or anything. I suspect there are big plans considering everything else.

Clearly CKE is getting annoyed about the lack of a supportive crowd. I'd hate for that to be a reason for him to consider going elsewhere when other schools come to lure him away.
