is that the preferred offense of Shrews? I kind of thought we were playing that way because we had to -- Shrews didn't have a choice considering our personnel last season. I think if Booth had stuck it out, that could have changed with portal additions and the incoming freshman.

. . . “Charlie from Chicago: Tom, you can just spell it out for everyone, Calvin Booth is too involved and forcing his son to transfer because of what NBA Scouts told him. Now that we got that out of the way...

Thomas Noie: Charlie: There comes a time where as a head coach, you need a little leeway to develop your guys the best way you believe they should be developed. Everyone's path is different. I'll let everyone read between the lines on this one...😃”
