The Official "Please Don't Suck Real Bad, Boys!" Thread

Getting drilled. Fading into oblivion.
 
How the hell does Purv finish that but continually miss easy layups?

I was almost positive that would be the shot he hit too

Someone did jokingly ask him to take a half court shot on his instagram last night. Was close.

Results haven't really been there, but I expect by this time next year he's clearly a good shooter. Probably just a confidence issue early in his career

Next year is a put up or shut up year for Ollie, no doubt about it.

Wire to wire top 25 and Sweet 16/Elite 8 caliber is the minimum.

Anything less and he's on the hot seat big time.

Agreed, done with the excuses.
 
At least we'll be in the running for the #1 pick in the draft lottery....:oops:

If he plays with the confidence he had late in the game today this becomes a much better team

How are they going to achieve that with the current players? Exit Brimah, Purvis, Facey. The new starting center is Enoch? The injured players miraculously become cured and return to their former glory? Unless there is some secret recruit coming to rescue the program, this is a dream. The players just aren't of the caliber that is needed to win. Has nothing to do with Ollie. With good players he wins. With crummy players he loses.

Sorry but can"t accept that. Great coaches develop as well as tailor their team play to their players" strengths. Injuries give KO some valid excuses this year but if everyone is back them no excuses next year--- he has to produce or he should be gone. FB sucks enough, can"t have BB follow suit and it"s not like KO hasn"t recruited talent. You should be honest with youself and ask, has KO become a better coach during his tenure? I am afraid that jury is still out on that question.

Not true. This has a lot to do with Ollie. Problem for UConn is that their hands are tied. They literally have no where to turn. It is simply shocking where the football and men's basketball programs find themselves. To me, if KOs next two years resemble his last two, UConn will be more like UMass than blue blood. KO is a great motivator and a great recruiter. Those qualities make a better top assistant than head coach. For KO to succeed as the head guy, he need a great X's and O's guy. He doesn't have that now and it is painfully obvious.

I mean, yeah. That's usually what happens with injured players, they heal

And whose job is it to recruit or develop good players?

It's Year 5. Training wheels are off.
 
If I posted what I txted to a friend, I'd have to ignore myself.

If nothing else, this simply is not a good 'entertainment' product, and I have many things competing for my Interest. Seriously, how much are you enjoying what you're seeing?
