Is J.P. Macura Coachable?

[ArizonaXUGrad]

I said it his Freshman year through today, I love the kid. He can flat out play and he has a killer mentality, but he may have dragged his pivot foot a tad on that bank shot. Not enough for a travel though with that little time left, certainly not like the KU kid did against KSU a few weeks ago.

JP does good things and is no doubt a good player. I'd just like to see more discipline in key moments, more specifically a sustained focus on defense. The microwave, gunslinger, wild card role should phase out and you should become a reliable basketball player. Last night alone, he got out of position on seton hall's tying bucket giving his man a lane to the basket and leaves his man wide open on the three point line to try to help on a ball handler at 3/4 court on their last possession. Those are just undisciplined lapses that hurt the team. Those things cant happen, but he does this kind of stuff all the time. I love the guy and his energy and everything he brings, but these kind of basic discipline lapses just kill me.

Blink twice if you are reading this. Go to 4:19

"He is a very coachable kid"-- Chris Mack on JP Macura

I think we can now close this thread. The question was "Is JP Madura coachable" and Coach Mack has confirmed that he is in fact, coachable.

This case is closed...In Coach Mack we trust!

[X-ceptional]

Well, Mack obviously needs to be fired after a comment like that.

I immediately thought about this thread after watching his presser last night. Ha. Lots of Xavierhoops members were with me on that.

Haha, agreed! First thing I thought when Mack said "JP is very coachable" was 'but I read on XH that he isn't!' GO X!

Shun the moron that started it...pretty sure 95% of the responses disagreed with him.
