I know Majerus didn't want to do it but he's like a Hall of Fame coach and could big time in a way that Ford can't. How are we paying $2.5mil/yr and that doesn't include a weekly coach show? Almost every coach in the country has one. This guy avoids so much scrutiny. Just #Blessed I guess Not sure if there will be one this year, but the coaches show typically started in the second half of the season.

Such a joke If I train for a marathon and then two weeks out from the race I get the flu for a week and don't get out of bed I will still be in marathon shape on race day. How are none of these guys in shape and why does everyone have some sort of injury? Is Travis Ford Munchausen-by-proxy or does our strength and conditioning coach have no idea what they are doing? laker119 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I just want to see some kind of offensive scheme to get guys open. And on D see shooters challenged on 3’s and on drives to the hole. It’s not on the players, although we may not have top 50 talent, but it’s on how they are used. There is no discipline on either side of tha ball. We play helter skelter. While everyone else is playing Chess. He’s a recruiter but not a teacher/coach. TRN likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 C'mon guys. Tell me you are surprised at this. Even if Brad Ezewiro was the second coming, we don't have the talent to compete. And who recruited that talent? Okay, Parker is hurt. I don't expect the Sincere Parker of Myrtle Beach to come waltzing out into play his first time back. Highmark said he is "a few weeks away." A couple is two, a few is more. Maybe three? That puts us with him end of January. That could mean 0 and 8 in conference by then. Our inside game is Ezewiro and pray. Dalger is out of control. Zhang is still a project. How many rebounds did he grab, and lose tonight. van Bussel is a no show. Our point guard play is suspect, small and not an offensive option on either account. Jimerson can't break free and every team in the conference will throw multiple defenders at him, clutching and grabbing all the way. Hughes got out of my doghouse making three triples but two were veritable prayers. Plus his defensive miscues shown brightly. Thames is decent but a role player. I think after four years of being dogged, Hargerove has essentially said "fuok it" and is doing it his way. When you add all the ingredients up, you still throw them in the CTF unexplainable offense. Weave. A few back cuts. High post entry passes. And the defense. What defense? Maybe it's mano-a-mano and never switch because the switching ain't working. A second big man (Mwanba, Adelekun and Welch and Austin present a parade of matchups that TJ can't handle down low. Loyola's four guards ate our two up. Hughes is not a ballhandler. Our free throw shooting was at Hasahn French levels, sub .500. On the January 2, 2024 power rankings on A10 Talk, they listed us at #13, ahead of Rhode Island and Fordham. Both won their openers tonight with the Rames over Geedubya and Rhode over St. Joes. Des Watson was so-so at Davidson, we made him a star tonight. Right now, Alexa Datt is terrible.

Maybe that says something, but what would I know I'm glad he's at least acknowledging his failure. I give credit for that. It's a lot more credible than blaming "negative fans with nothing better to do" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recall one conversation, Majerus offered courtside tickets to an upcoming game to Gary and Gary refused. It was funny how Majerus responded. Recalled another show when Majerus and Rammer went at. That was kind of ugly. Dr Bird likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
