Some will figure it out.

Yeah, I agree completely

I think Litigator, myself, and others made it pretty clear in the other thread that your "entitlement" bullshite is absolutely/utterly incorrect

Idk what generation you are but you will be sucking our dicks in 20 years. We also appreciate the opportunities all your generations frick ups present.

Porker, how about telling us specifically what you think Mike is doing wrong? Saying something like "he lacks killer instinct" is really meaningless.

Assess the problems with the team/coaching style as you see them. If you know much about basketball, I think you'll find that a lot of it comes down to not having the level of talent and experience we need.

There are a few great coaches out there who seem to be able to win regardless of their players. Literally, a few. And we aren't about to go out and hire one of them.

I'm on the fence right now with this season.


It looks like the team is regressing. If we finish this season with a 6-10 conference record and no postseason again.. I can't honestly say I would be upset if we had a coaching change.

It doesn't matter style of play a team has if they keep LOSING. Nobody enjoys watching a team you love lose.

This is year 3. I feel like APR or not the team should be playing better than it is.

Also, say what you will about killer instinct. I think thats what we need to win on the road. Someone to tell the kids that they can step on the throat after they have a team on their backs

Ie up 8 with 5 to play at UGA

If this team would rebound we would win

Put in our bigs. Kingsley is our best rebounder. Giving up 6th and 7th chance points kills us

Harris, yes. He recruited him, he is responsible.

Clark is just chance pretty much

Kentucky's roster turns over just about every year, but they seem to win at a much higher rate than the Hogs.

Kentucky has 5+ McDonald's AA on their team every year, Arkansas has had 2 in 10 years.

Kentucky doesn't have APR issues, their players that leave do so in good academic standing and go to the pros, which has an exemption in the APR, the ones that stay for 4 years graduate. Pel's players transferred to other schools, which takes away points in the APR.

Meh, I voted for Obama, am in the military, and I support Mike Anderson.

I'll say this...there is a lot of sentimentality in that support. I was one of the people who felt that Mike should have gotten the job after Nolan left (or was forced out I should say). That also being said, here is the way I look at it, mostly just talking points:

-Mike took over a dumpster fire at UAB, and turned them into a damn solid program. I mean, UAB was a better program than we were for those years he was there than we were for the five years before.

-He inherited an absolute shite-show at Missouri after Quin Snyder was forced out. There was a lot of clamoring in Columbia to fire Anderson after he went 16-16 and dismissed some of the best players on the team for conduct detrimental to the team. However, the next year he took them to the Elite 8. The team was rebuilt slowly before they were pretty stacked.

-We are dealing with APR issues and tons of other shite. As much as people want to say they don't care, that does buy a coach some time.

-Most of our problems (esp. on the road) seem like we run out of gas offensively. Depth will change that and allow us to play more effectively on defense and offense.

-Heath couldn't do it in 3 years. Pelphrey couldn't do it in 3 years. Given the state of our program now, what makes you think getting into this hire and fire cycle every 3 years is going to help? Best thing to do is ride this thing out, and see where it goes before jumping off the wagon.
