Wins are great, but the losses are more telling.

Georgia, Iona, Missouri, Davidson at home, and Memphis

Where were you last year? Why all of a sudden you pop up out no where talking bout the COACHES? We had a GUY last year who hated to lose and that was HERB JONES a natural leader. You have no dominant LEADERS bro. Nate Oats can coach till he's BLUE in the face but when you don't have leaders it's not gone work and anybody who's played sports know this.

Oats has earned the right for us to overlook this lost year.

He won the SEC season and title last year. I think he gets a season or two to work some things out

It is hard to know if this is just a bad group of players or indicative of bad coaching.

When you see a team that isn’t poorly coached but their performance is based on the other team’s jersey, that’s usually on the players and their respect for the game.

I think this is less about a James Rojas obsession and more about trying to find someone who gives effort but also possesses a modicum of athletic ability. The fact that nobody gives any effort is, of course, the real issue.


He definitely gives the effort. Unfortunately, that’s it. He’s terrible with ball, and he can’t shoot.

They lost to a Final Four team in OT after missing 14 FTs. "Largely because of coaching" my arse

I'm not going to say he isn't a good coach, but he's clearly going to have to take a massive step up on the learning curve about how to deal with whatever the hell issues this team has moving forward.

Because so far, his response and ability to mold guys into positive players as they descend into chaos has been a big fat fail.

Iona and Davidson have 5 losses between them all against Kenpom top 75 and neutral/road games.
.
Missouri home vs away splits in SEC play is ridiculous. SEC teams do extremely poor traveling to Mizzou and reason why they are #18 in KenPom home court adv despite empty arenas and shite teams.


Honestly the worst two losses are road losses at Memphis which isn't that bad and UGA which that shite happens

I'm saying I still think Bama has a solid team, Oats is a good coach and this is just a speed bump.

Anyone following CBB know both Iona and SF are really good this year. The Mizz SEC home adv is fricking real, it is stupid AF


More importantly, boat racing Zaga, bearing UH and a now surging Miami is impressive. Not sure why people act like it didn't happen

At this point just start the bench players and roll with it.

Got to be a pretty terrible coach and motivator to go from first to worst with most of the team coming back. All the returning players have regressed.
