I'll also include it in my blog when I do an entry tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>As for Henke, I thought he never got nearly enough playing time last year - he didn't play at all in the critical loss to BYU in the regular season finale - and I also thought he never got enough credit. I always thought Jeff Bzdelik picked on him (though Andrew never complained) and used his defensive abilities as an excuse not to play him.<BR/><BR/>And to be honest - though I'm trying not to make any judgements that are too swift - I don't think he's gotten the credit he's deserved this year either. <BR/><BR/>Now, I can see where his emotions might get him in trouble, but I think he's done a pretty good job of keeping them in check - better than he did last year. And, in my opinion, the team would benefit if more people had the emotion Andrew has on the court. Last year Air Force had Burtschi, who was a wild man (but in a good way), and McCraw (who was super-intense tho in control) and even Welch, who was pretty intense to a degree. That offset the mild-mannered Nwaelele and Anderson.<BR/><BR/>This year there's Henke and ... that's it. Not saying that other players don't play hard - these guys do play very hard. But it would be nice to see a little more emotion at times.<BR/><BR/>Henke is Air Force's best shooter, its second-best offensive player (next to Anderson) and arguably the team's best passer. He should be embraced as such.jake.schallerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439348723374256770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056953216725180581.post-25222682289009462432007-11-26T23:33:00.000-07:002007-11-26T23:33:00.000-07:00Jake,Would you mind putting in the paper sometime ...Jake,<BR/><BR/>Would you mind putting in the paper sometime this week that Thursday is a white out? Please ask all fans coming to wear white instead of the traditional blue. Thanks a lot and beat CU!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056953216725180581.post-42188806147649160372007-11-26T20:53:00.000-07:002007-11-26T20:53:00.000-07:00I agree with Grandma...Andrew should be starting. ...I agree with Grandma...Andrew should be starting. But atleast he is getting alot of minutes. 3 players are getting more, so his could probably be bumped up a little more...but some guys on the bench need to step up. Our starters play more minutes than anyone else in the MWC. <BR/><BR/>As far as Reynolds trying to calm Henke down...I agree with Reynolds. He has got a little out of control in the past.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056953216725180581.post-70678296445507467582007-11-26T13:14:00.000-07:002007-11-26T13:14:00.000-07:00Thanks for giving Andrew Henke some credit for doi...Thanks for giving Andrew Henke some credit for doing a great job in the games. His coach, Reynolds, does not give him anything but negative feed back and is trying to destroy his confidence in himself by telling him not to shoot, control your emotions and not even congratulating him when he does a great job. I think this is just terrible on coach Reynolds part. Andrew has worked his butt off in practice and in the games and not even given a chance to start because coach Reynolds wants someone with "energy" coming off the bench. Given that Andrew and Tim are the only ones who played a significant amount of time last year. This is a disgrace. I may be prejudiced because I'm Andrew's Grandma, but coach Reynolds is a butthead. He needs to be thrown under the bus just as he does to Andrew every practice and every game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056953216725180581.post-57727115641815025152007-11-26T13:06:00.000-07:002007-11-26T13:06:00.000-07:00If AFA can hang within 9 points of the #9 team in ...If AFA can hang within 9 points of the #9 team in the country, on a less than neutral court, they should compete well in the MWC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
