Skinner slipped at the end after losing two top assistants and failing to recruit a single player (which led to a major class imbalance which has carried over to the present). Our biggest mistake (among many others) was not replacing them with clearly better people (at least on paper) who had successful track records at the head coaching level. It made little to no sense to let those guys go and roll the dice to the extent they did with the people they hired. If you want to move up and do something better - fine - then bring in the right people with the experience to get you there. Otherwise - work to improve what you have. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Napolean Bonapartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400468172192375595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-22710040773792662282016-01-14T15:45:50.382-05:002016-01-14T15:45:50.382-05:00working rich

Its not about sports per se - its about the competence of those managing the institution. You don't tolerate this kind of stuff - whether you are talking about your campus food service or your English department or your athletics department. You really wonder WTF Bates does all day? They desperately need a special type of skilled hands on manager to right this sinking ship over the next few years. I have no confidence in Bates - this is probably way beyond his ability to manage. He is proving to be a terrible hire.

We couldn't penetrate theirs at all, yet they had a field day in the paint against us. When Hicks 6-2 was in the game he was guarding their 4. If the opponent starts nailing 3 s then go to man to man. JC needs to shake it up, we shouldn't just glumly walk to the gallows.Hoibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12681823413809048599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-7681788306368081852016-01-13T23:46:32.643-05:002016-01-13T23:46:32.643-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.mod34bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129365485893573618noreply@blogger.com
