True, Edey & tjd both likely on 1st and 2nd AA teams respectfully. Respect both. Edey is just flat better, no harm in recognizing that.

It’s not the players responsibility to inform other players of what will and what won’t be tolerated. Dead ball, player chest bumps other player, technical. Pretty simple.
How that wasn't a T is beyond me???
The iu center should have gotten that T & several other non called fouls.
The chest bump was just thuggish & speaks to poor character. Doesn't mean the dude is a bad player....just a no account thug though.
Jesus Christ dude, pay your debts. Don't make a bet and then not pay when you lose.
Larry Scirotto has never been known for a quick whistle I'm aware. He was the ref in the midst of the play
Good lord. Tell me you've never played a sport at a competitive level without telling me you've never played a sport at a competitive level.
What was the bet and terms? I like to know what kind of scumbags I'm dealing with.
You nailed it. Anyone who has seen the replay and has any level of objectivity can see that Gillis laughing after the chest bump de-escalated the situation. He could easily have taken offense and pushed back.
Personal foul on Gillis on the shot attempt, technical foul on TJD for the chest bump, pat on the back for Gillis for smiling and walking away in response to the chest bump.
Don't try to ingratiate yourself with me. Nothing worse than welchers and snitches.
Justify a thug all you want.
And I and my bro were both athletes back in the day as an fyi. Lol.
Yeah welcher, talking to you. Pay your debt. Be a man. Or just continue being a typical Walmart Hoosier fan who pops up every 10 years when IU sneaks by Purdue.
"Just flat better" lol. Skill wise? No. Edey just happens to be talented and 7-4 300lbs.
So if your guy is 5'5" with all the talent and ability in the world, and my guy is 6'5" with all the talent and ability in the world, who is better? That's right...Edey is just flat better.
No you didn't.
Well noted - To say that something is “well noted” in business correspondence is to confirm that you have taken note of a particular piece of information.
Duly noted - Duly noted is a response used to acknowledge a statement or request someone made.
LOL, I'm just playing man...trying to act like Courtsense on your board. It's so tiring. Welcome to the board and enjoy your stay.
It is clearly taller, yes. I'd say TJD is actually more skilled considering he can actually put the ball on the floor and is a better passer.
Edey is the better, more impactful player. I take him as my pick 100 out of 100 times if I have to choose.
He is impactful. Because of his size. Why are you getting so butthurt about that fact? Do you really think him being 7-4 300lbs has no impact on the game? No one is saying he's bad at basketball, but what separates him from everyone else, is his size. When you talk about Edey, TJD, Timme, Oscar, the dude from Arizona, Dickinson... The biggest difference is that Edey has 4+ inches on all those dudes. They are all very talented but Edey has that massive deciding factor that can't be matched in college basketball.
Why are you so butthurt that size is a factor? BIGGER IS BETTER. Deal with it. Tracy Davis wouldn't be half the player he is if he wasn't 6'7".
So by that logic all 7'4 player should dominate, and history agrees with this? Why is it so hard to admit that his skill mixed with his size is what separates him? His size is nothing if he doesn't develop every other aspect of his game. Plenty of 7 footers have rode the bench against much worse competition because they were not skilled enough.
TJD is impactful because of his size, mixed with his abilities (Quickness, Vertical, certainly not because of his jumpshot), If TJD was 6 foot he would just be a quick explosive guard without a jumpshot, we see those everywhere.
This exchange is funny because TJD and Zach are very similar in that their physical attributes are what make them great.
TJD is an elite athlete. He has improved as a basketball player but without his elite athleticism he would be just another guy.
Zach is a physical force of nature due to his size. He's become a much better basket player but if he were 6'10" he would be just another guy.
