I'll take Joel Brown, too, but I gotta say, Coleman played hard and played with heart... and he was gracious to my young son and I once, at halftime. One of those guys where, okay, him leaving was for the best, but I wish him well.

Not being a good D1 basketball player doesn't preclude one from being a nice person. I'm sure he has many fine qualities. But I would never want him getting major minutes on my basketball team.

I wouldn't mind him being a guy to generate offense when the starters were on the bench.

Against the better defensive teams you often need an athletic guy who can make his own scoring opportunities. Remember when Colman scored 35 against #6 Wichita State?

In all my years of watching Cal basketball, I've never seen another player so willing to sacrifice his body on drives to the bucket, and he was capable of making long 3s:

In some games he's best as a role player. In others, he needed to be our top scorer because of his ability to create his own shots. A failure to understand that by our coaching staff doomed our 2017-18 season, IMO.

The sun occasionally shines on a dog's ass. That game was luck, not ability.

Sad. Those first 5 games in 2017 were the highlight of his career, and he fell back to earth after that, and hasn't recovered. He scored 31, 30, 16, 35, 21 points. His game vs Wichita was most impressive: 35 points, 42% on twos, 68% on threes, and 88% on free throws. With a good point guard and a good coach, maybe he could have become a player. But I guess that is true for many players.

FWIW: it is sad.....to the extent I know anything except remembering him.... and the numbers

On that note, I'll say this:

*The .333 on the line is based 2 for 6 for the season
* FTA/40 mins this year = 1.9
* FTA/40 mins last year at CAL = 8.4
