Paul took 3 or 4 shots tonight

[zappaa]

That’s some really really bad game prep by our coaches

 

[JudgeSmails56]

I don’t understand how Paul just disappears.

 

[Ridge 22]

If Paul and Cam are both going to be no shows, we can't win

 

[GORU2014]

That’s some really really bad game prep by our coaches

Lol

More like that’s some really bad play by our senior captain. What do the coaches need to do, tell him he’s allowed to shoot and not to sit there yelling at everyone like a child?

 

[FinalFourOrBust_rivals142702]

He doesn’t shoot. Never had and never will.

 

[Scangg]

1-3 with the made bucket after the game was basically over

 

[bac2therac]

He is overrated

 

[ScarletKid2008]

With Cam being ineffective. We basically have 3 starters who produce almost NOTHING on offense.

I mean do you really think the coaches told Paul not to shoot? You watch every game. He has been hesitant to shoot his entire career. No one understands it. But don't blame this on the coaches.

 

[zappaa]

Because you play like you practice.
There’s not a chance in hell Paul is being coached to shoot

I don’t think they tell him to shoot, I don’t think the insist he shoot

 

[RedChucken123]

Bench him, until he starts shooting more. By giving him all these minutes, you reinforce the fact that it’s okay to just play like this.

 

[GORU2014]

He’s been coached to shoot since he was a child. Stop blaming the coaches, if our 21/22 year old senior captain point guard isn’t practicing well that’s on him. If he’s not playing well, that’s on him.

2 points and 5 fouls against a bad team while yelling at his teammates 2 games after he tried to trip an opposing player is just embarrassing, and it’s on him

 

[DHajekRC84]

You put him on the bench and tell him if he's not going engage in the offense and score he can sit.

 

[Scangg]

Yes, he is

I don’t think they tell him to shoot, I don’t think the insist he shoot

They do. Paul has said the coaches are always telling him to shoot more in a recent post game interview

 

[RU-Hunter]

He had more fouls than shots

 

[Jtung230]

It’s called zone D. My problem was his D.

 

[zappaa]

Yes, he is

They do. Paul has said the coaches are always telling him to shoot more in a recent post game interview

Then he should be benched

 

[zappaa]

I never said he was coached not to shoot.
But If you tell me he’s popping elbow jumpers in practice with regularly I don’t believe it, and if he’s not I’d make him

 

[Scangg]

Then he should be benched

For who though? Is Simpson ready to run the offense? Miller put on weight and now he can't even defend well

 

[nukem]

Then he should be benched

Benched for who, Simpson? Good luck with that. This team has a talent/depth issue. We basically get no real contribution from the freshmen class and sophomore class.

And who would you count on for offense? Caleb? Cam? Paul? None of them has stepped up at all. They need to figure this out. There is no one else other than Hyatt.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Bench him for Simpson until he gets the message. He won’t want to sit.

 

[Duff366]

That was weird when he started yelling at everybody after finally making a bucket.

I just don't get it. Him not taking shots is killing the team

 

[SBP]

He is overrated

He’s not. He’s inconsistent. He willed us and played us into the tourney last year. He’s gotta drive and be more consistent. It’s head scratching

 

[KNICKI]

Paul cost us the game. The sooner he leaves the better. When he started yelling at the team after his first score was the last straw for me. He’s 22 years old & scores 2 points against ****** Nebraska. Trying to be an assist guy with a lack of offense weapons is not the right formula.
He has to score at least 8-10 points a game. Pathetic

We’d be better with Simpson than 1-3 two point Paul….without question

 

[RUskoolie]

If I was at the game I would have screamed at him to shoot. Enough with passing to Cliff 6 feet from the basket and turning it over. Put it in the hoop

 

[Jtung230]

We’d be better with Simpson than 1-3 two point Paul….without question

Still think it’s his D that’s hurting us. We scored 72 tonight. This wasn’t SHU “rock fight”

 

[Plum Street]

For a guy that is on record saying he won’t care about college sports due to NIL @zappaa , you sure make a lot of posts directed about mulcahy . Wow

 

[Scangg]

We weren't earlier in the season when Paul was injured and he started

 

[MiloTalon13]

We’d be better with Simpson than 1-3 two point Paul….without question

We're not winning with Simpson playing big minutes instead of Paul, that's just silly and reactionary.
Simpson is well below being an average Big Ten starting guard, offensively and defensively.
We need Paul to get right or we're looking at a 10-11 seed

 

[Rutgers25]

Paul gives it his all for RU. He’s limited offensively. Not going to suddenly change that. Not in his dna to score. He would be excellent on a team with a bunch of offensive weapons.

 

[Shelby65]

I mean do you really think the coaches told Paul not to shoot? You watch every game. He has been hesitant to shoot his entire career. No one understands it. But don't blame this on the coaches.

I’ve said, it’s not his game. He’s a slow small forward with guile in the lane pressed into a PG and scoring role he’s just not built for. Better passer than McConnell but so are half the cheerleaders.

 

[scarletrat]

Teams have packed it in on D

 

[Duff366]

No one is questioning his effort. For someone who can be so savvy and skilled as a passer and in the paint and a decent 3pt shooter, he should realize RU's need for him to be aggressive offensively

 

[RUChoppin]

Early in the game he took a catch-and-shoot three, which was great.... and bricked it. And then went immediately gun shy.

 

[Shelby65]

That’s some really really bad game prep by our coaches

Not really…other team too quick and shot lights out. Played 4 guards all game and we couldn’t keep up. Couldn’t do anything about it with our roster.

 

[FinalFourOrBust_rivals142702]

Paul has terrible body language. He’s so easily flustered when things go wrong. He need more geo and Ron in him.

 

[RUBlackout]

PM should be averaging 12pts per game..if he does that we win more plain and simple.
This team is lacking the ability to put the ball in the basket and he needs to step up.
Teams are closing down his driving ability and forcing him to make decisions around the arc. He needs to keep them honest and shoot which will open many things up. It’s so odd

 

[Scangg]

Can't have our starting guards combine for 10 points, especially when the bench is so weak
