Did he say he has been reading the ED gamethreads and will be using our ideas?
He?s very well spoken and knows the game well. I?m hoping he can get us right.
He is a good coach that just needs a little time but in today’s society of instant gratification, idiots who never played or coached think they know better than a guy who has been to the FINAL DAMN 4 multiple times. Spare my ass. Some people on this board need to shut up and be supportive. They do WAY more harm than good by breeding discontent.
Did Howland talk about changing up practice regarding shooting? Because it has been reported that he did.
Not many of us have said that Howland sucks as a coach, just question some of the decisions. I’ve wondered why Holman wasn’t given enough minutes. And the obvious 3 pt and Free throw % were both inexplainable.
I guess Howland needs more time to adapt to the job here, as well as changes to the game.
He did and has been talking about all the issues that some here seem to think he is oblivious to. If someone doesn't want to spend the time to be informed, they really shouldn't be spouting crap that they don't know anything about. As DOA pointed out, it doesn't contribute anything to the program and makes the poster sound foolish.
Talk is cheap. Sly Croom talked a real good game. See where that got us.
It’s really not about bashing or not bashing Howland but it is 100% about for the 3rd year in a row, we have an average to below average basketball team that has little to no chance of dancing.
I too believe Howland is a good coach but I can’t figure out why then we have church league basketball caliber ball movement and look clunkier than Matt Luke running a 40 when we play offense.
Yep. His piddly ass salary really puts constraints on his ability to function at an optimal level. Damn, would some of you nimrods give me a 17ing break!
My issue with Howland (who I like very much) is his temperament during the game. I had the same issue with Don Muffin. I am a firm believer in a coach fighting for his team and fighting for a player to get the best outta themselves during the games. This means I want them getting on the players when they are doing stupid shit an I want them getting on the refs when they are getting hosed by calls. Like Saban does. The players don't like it but they like the end results. The refs don't like it but they are way less likely to **** you over when you make them officiate you fairly. Howland should have gotten thrown out vs Florida the officiating was so one-sided. Howland is just a very nice man all the time. That's a great quality for life but it isn't ideal for coaching during a game or practices imo. I grew up on Bobby Knight basketball though so it's just what I believe in.
I’m not ready to give up on this team yet. Our next 7 games are against Top 50 RPI opponents. We’ve got a chance to right the ship now during this stretch.
And for those of you playing at home, 3 of our 4 losses were to Top 40 RPI teams. And we had double digit leads in 2 of those in the 2nd half. So let’s not act like we stuck. We’ve blown two good opportunities. Got a chance to redeem both of them.
