Not giving up on team or season

[QDOG5]

Any offense that starts with three passes as guys circle the perimeter immediately knocks 10 seconds off the shot clock. It is followed by a big or two setting a high pick n roll. One of the bigs will roll to the basket and never get a pass. Then some perimeter dribbling and a contested shot. That happened at least 20 times against Ark. I really enjoyed the time they finally passed to Carlton on the low block and he was immediately double teamed. He turned to look for a cutter but there was none because no one ever cuts in this offense. TL and one of the guards were on the weakside and never moved! Carlton turned the ball over. Not his fault. Until this team starts playing inside out they'll be in trouble. The outside out offense doesn't work. And counting on our guards to penetrate and draw fouls to put the other teams bigs in foul trouble is fools gold. Also, it is just not a fun offense to watch. It is predictable and boring. A team that averages more TO's than assists? Ouch.

I don't know why this is so hard to understand.

Wooden/UCLA
Knight/Indiana
Thompson/Georgetown

Sometimes it's not a program, but a coach or a coach+program. That's us. Our play and our players were the embodiment of our coach. He willed the state and this program to become what they became....and now he's gone. And expecting anyone else to just pick it up and carry it forward is foolish. There's no recruit or offensive game plan that's going to ride in and save the day. Just accept it and love the team for what they are. Or don't.

I'm sad any fan could think this way. So Calhoun is gone so we're a mid major lets just give up and be happy about it? Oh and by the way we'll have a top ten paid coach and give him a free pass because hes not Calhoun.

Calhoun built a program and we currently have a dope who is completely lost running it into the ground.

Its not about saving the day, we need to get the human wrecking ball away from this program and get on track to being a dominate AAC team. There's a good chance you're right and the #1/#2 seeds in Tourney are gone, but it doesn't need to be this flaming bag of that Ollie is putting out there going on 3+ seasons.
