Ike Ofoegbu with 21 points! Who would have thunk it!

I would have thunk it. I have posted before that all he needs is confidence and playing time.

Coach has been building him up and I think that is a typically smart move on Doh's part. This first game should reinforce the confidence and make him even better. At 6'8" and at his weight - he has great athletic ability. I think he just needed someone to believe in him and give him a chance. We need him badly and he will certainly get that chance this year.

Wow, actually develop players. What a concept!

Develop players and have confidence and believe in them. They also believe in Coach Doherty. Complete opposite of Tubbs. All he did was degrade players-especially Ike, Jon Killen, and Rackauskas. It is early but it is obvious that Coach Doherty has a plan and even though he didn't recruit any of these players (except Spencer) he has embraced them and he sees them as his own. That is the mark of a confident coach that knows what he is doing and one that understands building a program.
