OUCountry Kirk has the same shooting form this year that he had last year. IF his form can be fixed wouldn’t one think they would have done it over this past spring/summer?
^^^^this up here is the dumbest thing I've ever heard lol, changing a kids shooting form, the same form he has used his whole life, the form that got the kid Division 1 offers, now this is funny as hell.


If you guys wanna change something, change Saul's coaching style !!!
To think a player can not change or improve his shooting ability and mechanics is silly. If that is dumbest thing heard to date I am amazed. You think just because a kid got a scholarship that he has shooting mechanics and form that should not or could not be improved or refined? Ever thought the scholarship was given because of other aspects of his game with the caveat that he may need to work on his shooting?


The kid was 1st Team all MAC Freshman, they SHOOT everyday in practice and workouts in the summer. now all of a sudden you guys want his shot tweeked, some players have different styles of shooting, look at Lonzo Ball who now plays for the Lakers, you think his shot looks normal ? no player shoots the same they have their own style.

What everyone here should be wondering about instead of a kids jump shot, is who's gonna be our coach next year, because it won't be Saul.

If TK would like to pursue a professional career he will need to change his shot, it is too slow and predictable. He may be able to speed up his release with repetition. Even Lonzo tweeked his shot, though it is still awkward. TK had a higher 3 point fg percentage than Carter, which is a little crazy. As fans, TK and his stroke has been a scapegoat for Saul and the team’s performance. We have talked about his turnovers, we have made inferences that he has dumb handlers and we have even said that he should be the 7th guy coming off the bench when he actually has some d1 accolades and we have a D3 bench. TK will continue to work along with his teammates and we will see what Saul can do with them. Let’s not go Steve King on TK. Go Cats
My problems with TK have nothing to do with his handles or his shooting form. My problem is that Saul keeps playing him at the point and he is beyond awful at that position. He has the skill to do it but he has neither the court vision or the decision making required. He's also one of the least accurate passers I've seen at the position. And if you can't see the difference in Jason Carter and Teyvion Kirk I don't know what to tell you. But nice of you to pull the race card. Or perhaps we should pull it out on you because of your repeated attacks on Carter and any other white player that sees the court. Nobody here criticizes TK because of his race. They criticize him because they know that if we have a 3 on 1 break we know there is about a 25% chance we are scoring on it.

Criticizing his play is one thing, singling him out and assuming he has dumb handlers is another. Dumb handlers? There are definitely some people stereotyping and we all have prejudice, we have to try not to act on it or as the Holy Bible says cast down those imaginations. I like others question his decision making, I also think that he needs to improve his handle but TK if we are being honest has helped us win games.
I keep going over this thread trying to see what you are talking about. Who is talking about handlers and why do you keep wanting to assume that anyone here sees color besides you when talking about Bobcat basketball? Folks here don't give a shit what color they are as long as they are Green and Win. Where did the dumb handler thing come from?
