Boals is a very good in game coach, the future looks bright. He will need to recruit better bigs. He saw a tall, hustle guy in Foster, in the MAC you need mobile bigs that can jump. The bigs in our conference tend to be shorter, but more athletic. I am sure they he will catch on. The guy we almost got that went to UMKC would have been perfect. He averaged 14 and 8 this year.
In defense of Boals, how many options were out there that late in recruiting period when he signed Foster? I mean...he needed a big body. Obviously, Foster isn't ready. He really should red-shirt next season. With Springs, McMurray and Murrell most likely gone after this year....some schollies are going to be available to fix the problem in the paint hopefully. It's ridiculous to see the bunnies that Foster and Sly miss on a consistent basis.
With all that said...what a win. The comeback reminded me of Rush Floyd 3 to beat Kent many years ago. I believe Boals was on that team.
