No need to elaborate. 

That's not a bad idea - kind of like the Grammys or the Darwin's... I think Scoop could get behind that especially with years performance.

Quote from: panda on Today at 10:03:22 AMHe's on the hot seat going into next year. Absolutely unacceptable season this year and the program cannot afford him to play the same Mickey Mouse roster games he's done the last couple of years.

Quote from: Scoop Snoop on Today at 08:44:52 AMYeah, the "just wait until you see (fill in the blank)...of RGV has not worked very well. A season like this nuclear meltdown never, ever should have happened.

"Wait till next year" induces a relapse my wojitis...

Quote from: Jay Bee on Today at 09:11:10 AMExactly. All year I've been saying my concerns are much more than just roster construction, but most people are still only on that. The truth is there have been mind-boggling coaching decisions throughout this season. It's wacky as eff and very concerning as we think about the future.

I think we're seeing that there was enough talent for this to have been a bubble team - just like we and everyone else thought - but that assumed the right lineups and solid in game coaching (remember when we used to be team second half? I wanted to punch Johnny Exclamation Point Fanta in the mouth and see how HE'D react every time he made some asinine cliche about SHs 2nd half prowess)

Quote from: Shooter McGavin on Today at 10:11:07 AMBased on the rotations lately he seems to have figured some parts of it out.  Why it took him so long is unclear. JB, besides playing the wrong players and sticking with them for so long, what other decisions are you most concerned about now.  Current substitution patterns? Particular offensive and defensive schemes?  Not enough allocation of time to particular players (Owens, Phillips, Clark)?  Just curious about your thoughts.  Also, were there concerns over the previous four years as well.  Something that held MU back from taking advantage of the last run. 

The substitution patterns were batsh1t crazy; better now. Owens sitting early I didn't like. I get that he had/has issues, but his ceiling is just so much higher than some of the other guys that I didn't like him being pinned to the bench early this year.

Defensive schemes and decisions have been bonkers at times. Maybe it's mostly personnel but he keeps trying, but some of the breakdowns leading to gimme-baskets for the opponent are difficult to watch.

End of game and other situational plans and certainly execution.. wacko.

And, don't like the some of the other stuff 'off the court' such as Zaide and The Altercation.

Oh well. Hope we can pull off a few more wins and shine some light on the new guys... and I'm hoping Benny and Chase go off a couple of times and end on a better note. #pray

He played the guys who worked harder and set the right example in practice, and that's an acceptable move regardless of talent level to begin a season with so many "newcomers" to their roles imo.

The problem became that he stuck with it for far too long, even after it was plain as day that it would not work.
It wasn't only obvious to him, it was very clear to simpletons.

Sticking with it is an exemplary attribute, more people need it and coach has it.
However, as we've seen it definitely has its flaws

Guiness is my go to.

Untitled are decent.

Athletic - I like the seasonals, darker stuff and the Mexican lager
