We all get super pissed after losses and end of seasons. I'm as guilty of that as anyone. Plenty of time for debate but jesus put yourself in a kids shoes. the reality is yeah we might blame someone for a missed play or bad game but collectively our season and where we are is on all of us and not one person and even if it was one person no-one deserves to have a bad last game put on their shoulders.These kids excelled at basketball more than 99.9% of us. The season didnt end the way we wanted to but all in all these are good kids.

Slow Down !!!!

Anyone who is crapping on the kids should take a long look in the mirror.

Crapping on the sorry state of this program is another thing.

Yeah, man.... I would no way publically attack the kids just because I was upset with their play.

Agreed. I like this group of kids.

The staff is fair game, but plenty of time to talk about that.

Danfog is jealous
 
No player who busts his ass should deal with name calling or nasty comments. Some of he players we have were put in situations where they were playing out of position. When looking back, the stats will tell the story.

[quote="ErickTheRed" post=333160]Great kids, put in no win situation by staff.[/quote]

I am in no way defending this staff, horrible job, no question, but these are not CYO level players who need to be walked around by the hand to be shown what intelligent BB play is. IMO, they were given a “system” that will never work at the college level because it requires a level of maturity that these players did not have. Decent playground players know a good shot from a bad one, and know what a real level of commitment is needed to play winning ball. I will shed no tears when we change coaches again, IMO, it should happen, but I hold the players accountable for the underachieving season just as much as the coaches. I played low level college ball and in good leagues until well into my 40’s and never had to be “inspired” by coaches to play hard. They were given too much freedom and took advantage of it IMO. Sorry to say, but a failed experiment I guess, with enough blame to go around for both coaches and players for an extremely disappointing season.
