Fighting the McNamara Media Bias

I've always liked Rick Majerus, ever since he was on "Just the Ten of Us." I remember watching him when he was with Ball State and they were a 12 seed that knocked of Gary Payton and Oregon State and LaBradford Smith and Louisville. But last night he broke the McNamara Media Bias. He said Gerry McNamara is not a great shooter. Then Dave Pasch threw out all the bias buzzwods and phrases "he's the focus of the defense," "there's young guys around him," "he was much better when he had Anthony and Warrick." Majerus shot all those down by saying "he missed left last year." His contention is that McNamara misses to the side of the rim, and great shooters only miss short or long. The whole town of Scranton hates Majerus now.

I should add that Majerus said McNamara would not be a good pro. And when Pasch insisted, using his best propoganda, Majerus still said no. No way, McNamara gets drafted. The summer league is the closest he'll ever get to the NBA.

Amen. I though the same things when I heard Majerus. He's not my favorite coach turned color commentator after Frank McGuire and Bill Raftery.
