"I want to be the #1 three point shooting team in the country" - Dennis Gates
I mean they are top 25 in 3 point attempts, sitting at #17. They are #270 3pt FG %. I think the goal did not match the roster...
2025 goal "I want to be the #1 layup shooting team in the country".
Seriously though...horrific season. I did not like the 3pt shooting goal when he said it last summer, and I do not like it now. Need a big, someone like Alex Oriakhi, need transition points, layups to be made, blocking out, rebounding with two hands, etc. Really basic stuff...which concerns me with a goal like "#1 3pt shooting team in the country". That is not an offense. Gates is young, learning, I think he can turn the corner. going O'fer in conference is horrific, but just a bad roster and overly reliant on the portal two years running.
Corner will be turned...I think you let things play out with Gates (really have no choice anyway with that buyout). Let him mature and be more coach and less friend/players coach. This is the stuff that comes with a young coach. Gotta hold the incoming class together, and turn over as much as possible the existing roster. Keep in mind, his players from Cleveland State were valuable contributors for MIZ last year. He knows how to identify talent.

The only positive sign of the season is there are a bunch of seniors that will thankfully be gone next year.

Find a young coach that recovered from something like this? I have tried and failed.
