I don't think that but I can certainly get sick of incessant "It's not Ford's fault" style posts. I get it. Most of the MBM's and the four straight up trolls on this board want Travis gone. How many sarcastic and (not calling you out specifically) hateful posts will it take to make that happen? Billions. Good luck making that happen.....

Yuri is great at finding guys ins transition. Yet we’re rarely on the break b/c we can’t force any turnovers or we’re forced to slow down in transition late in the second half because the team (mostly Yuri) is gassed. This team averages 75.6 points per game which is 2nd out of the 15 teams in the A-10. We probably had the hardest schedule among A-10 teams. My point is that the offense hasn't been the problem this year. There is plenty of room for criticism, but I think it is misguided to believe that our offense has been the downfall this year.

Going into this year it felt like our offense was going to be elite, and defense average. Offense ended up being average and defense ended up being below average. I think both can be blamed because both weren't as good as they were supposed to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was bad help defense, there was a lot of bad fouls due to bad decisions, and bad perimeter defense (though I need to examine the #s to validate this part).

Oh yeah fully recognize that defense is the problem, but I also think that not being able to create turnovers limits the offense’s capabilities. Additionally, when Ford runs out the same lineup for the entire second half, guys are gassed in the final minutes of the game and unable to run in transition OR play defense.

Like the defense, the offense lost us some games too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobillsgo Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 We should be looking for better than both Ford and Soderberg. They’re not the only two options. We pay Ford more than any other A10 coach. With what we can pay a coach, and the facilities we have, there are plenty of really good coaches that would jump at the opportunity to coach here.

If we could some how combine the two of them it would make a decent coach but I don’t want either one if it’s a solo job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy II Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 -I guess I should have seen the omen that was the VCU table giving us only 20 seconds on our first possession leading to a shotclock violation, refs do clock corrections a lot but the 3 of them didn't catch that? -I wonder if next season with his seat warm, or perhaps hot, what will Travis' sideline behavior be? how will the hook be employed? -TJ, how can Shriver, of all people, block your shot? -TJ, how can Kern drive right past you? how can our defense be so bad that we allow so many straight line drives to the rim? -he had a questionnable possession but Parker sat most of the second half -Yuri, how can Johns have two steals from you? -we have no inbounds play in front of our bench, that's quite amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
