Is there a chance that Avery is Franning us? I mean, at least say there's a chance

I've only listened to one of his post loss press conferences. It was after auburn.

It was bad.


Sexton was impressive, though.

I really couldn't be a bigger fan of his.

If we don't make the tournament this year or next, Avery has to go. We shouldn't wait till all those guys with good potential are almost gone to change coaches.

To be honest here I think we need some diversity with our players. We've got guys like herb, key, and Ingram who excel and fail at the same things. We need a forward who is a pretty consistent threat to shoot. Every defense now is clogging the lane and we have zero answers.

Been saying that for years, we are athletic as hell but haven’t had a spot up shooter in a while. Hell even mid majors have ONE

This.

Teams are daring us to shoot the 3 or a jump shot, and that ain’t happening on a consistent basis.

Bleh.

I really don't understand what y'all are so worked up about with Avery.

We got EXACTLY what any rational person thought we'd get.

Did none of y'all even halfway entertain the skeptics? Because there was truth in their hate. Just as there was truth in his defender's positivity.

What in saying is this knee jerk stuff is weird.

I think it would be 1 year too early.

But not unreasonable.

Butler is supposed to be a really good shooter, but a lot of guys who were good shooters in high school turn into brick masons as soon as they arrive in Tuscaloosa.

I don't think I'm being knee jerk at all. He's had 3 years here, and our offense is still awful. No one moves off the ball unless it's one of our set plays that just end up in someone isolated.

We still haven't had a team in the top 100 of Kenpom's adjusted offense stat.

Diante Wood also. They'll all get here and shoot 20% though.
