I dont blame the coaching

[shaunguth]

tick tick tick tick....

something's gotta change.

The facilities?

[shaunguth]

Do you want a sing a long and parade for the home win against Indiana St or the sweep of Evansville? He got plent of credit in 05/06 and 06/07 he hasnt deserved much since or before.

You're right........JL got all the credit in the world when we beat one of the best teams in the Big 10. Sorry, I'm not going to buy any claim that JL gets just as much credit for wins as he does losses.

[shaunguth]

have u been drinking?
weird post.

No.

What's weird?

[shaunguth]

After this year and most likely more of the same next year we will be ready for a change.

Then why are you giving him one more year?

[Buesch N Chips]

So again I ask, who should be held accountable? If you have an answer, please tell me.

I have no idea. I'm just a fan who hopes we win the next game. I don't claim to know who is responsible for what. If JL is not good enough, I'm sure people who know far more than you or me will make that decision. I don't claim to know more than I do.

What credit did he get then?

Neither do I.

I know we need something different!

[BradleyBrave]

But the team is not winless. He clearly gets MUCH more credit for the losses than any wins! I guess I'm the only one that can see that though.

No, I think you're one of the few that thinks that though. I think people were pretty excited that this could be 'the year' we had been waiting for after we beat the Illini. I think everyone got credit and the faithful were pretty optimistic about what the year could be. The letdown from that, added to more or less 7 years of average to below average basketball is starting to get to some people.

Gotta ask - Did you feel the same way about Molinari, or is this just because Jim was a good player 25 years ago?

[Lakeview Brave]

What credit did he get then?

A huge contract extention worth tons of money, is that enough or should we have erected a statue next to Lydia in the quad?

[dogsrus]

Unfortunately I think Lakeview is being too kind. I will agree that it wasn't prepping or gameplanning that lost this, but when your entire philosophy is seemingly devoid of the fundamental concept in basketball, which is get big men you can throw ball inside to, and throw it into them, well there's not much I can defend when it comes to the staff. Sure, they guys played hard. They played their b@lls off. Effort isn't something that's generally been an issue. But enough is enough. The personnel we have now isn't as a result of a guy going to the NBA early. We just flat out failed recruiting-wise. Failed. And when you fail, someone has to pay the price. This is a failure. Spin all you want, make all the excuses you want, it's an epic failure. 5 home losses with 3 home games to play. Failure.

co-sign......

[squirrelgotdead]

We have some horses inside coming in next year's class, right?

Yes, to go along with the 13th or 14th incarnation of AP.

And you know what's sad about this is that we are actually playing pretty decent away from home this year. It's possible we could actually finish with the same conference home record as the conference road record, which could be 4-5! I've never seen that happen with our team! Even if we manage to split the UNI and WSU games, we're talking no better than 5-4 at home.

Not good!

we are going to have to hurry to make another 20 win season.

[BradleyBrave]

We'll have to play 40 games to get there this year.

But if we add in the games in Brazil...Hmm...

if we make one of the secondary tourneys we will have a chance
