Game day thread

The game turned because of Jalen Adams. Like I said if Jalen handles the ball 90% of the time as the lead guard with ball in his hands, we will win and look good. No knock on Gilbert, but Adams needs to handle the ball almost all the time for us to be good.

Gilbert needs to learn to play off the ball mostly.

This is true. He needs to dominate the ball.

Kick Ollie loose, win or lose. Playing it this close this late is not to be tolerated.

What would it take in your eyes to fire him?

Obviously not tonight win or lose but longer term.

We as a fanbase are collectively depending on you to resurrect the program. Please tell me you will be sending in your resume tomorrow afternoon after the vacancy is announced.

Who do you want to replace him with?

 

[Ewekon]

This was too hard. Really.

 

[BugsyCT]

18-0 run.

People, Kevin Ollie's coaching didn't just magically improve over the last four minutes of the game. Sometimes, it's on the players.

The players finally brought the energy and they found out that they are the much better team. Hopefully they remember tonight throughout the season...

adams also moved on ball and blew up. that's not coaching?

Re-Calhoun lol

 

[BugsyCT]

How many new players on the roster this year?

 

[BlueDogs]

Hey, they could have folded, so props there. I don't think KO is an execution focused, small details oriented coach. So many sloppy plays, no discipline, inconsistent effort.

 

[superjohn]

Who do you want to replace him with?

A better coach.

 

[Sky ball]

Great Coaching move by Ollie. "Jalen, go score". He should have told hi that at the start. Hey, a win is win.

 

[Stainmaster]

Who do you want to replace him with?

Jim Calhoun baby

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Tonight's game.

Great answer.

Everything is fine.

I haven’t seen anything of a creative offense for as long as I can remember. We have the personnel to have some unique plays, he just hasn’t incorporated anything, apparently.

 

[UConnDan97]

It's not coaching when he's taking bad shots, or when vital is taking bad shots 5 seconds into the shot clock, our when Larrier for into foul trouble...

 

[Stainmaster]

Great answer.

Everything is fine.

No, everything is horrible. He needs to go now.

Yale, Wagner, Northeastern, ECU, very nearly Stony Brook, nearly BU, Colgate came within a basket late on Friday...

 

[Showballot]

It's not the talent, it's how they're coached.

Pick your trumpet back up and play.

If that gets in to Jalen’s head, that everything goes through him and that it’s always on him to take over and win games, we won’t be caring about him beating Stony Brook for us later this season; will cause several mind-numbing losses with his decision-making

 

[BugsyCT]

Well we won. That sucks.

Will have to wait another day to fire everybody.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

What a change of heart!

Very true, sometimes it's on the players; however, when coaching college ball the roster is fluid. When you see the same traits, the same offensive ineptitudes, year after year, player after player, most of the blame must fall on the coaching staff.
