I've never really been down on Mark Fox, but I've always kinda had the mindset

of "who would we get better if we fired him". And, on the face of it he's not doing THAT bad of a job, certainly not terrible. But the more this season goes on, I'm about to wash my hands of him if he doesn't stop the absolutely moronic, senseless, STUPID arse substitution patterns that he does every game. It's to the point where I almost wish Mcgarity would fire him on the spot next time he does this shite. None of us are there to watch practice everyday, I get that, but we can watch the games and the games are all that matter.

-Dixon should never see the court, period. Dude is terrible. Florveus had a solid first half against aTm, which doesn't say too much, but overall is not good. John Cannon is a guy that isn't physically gonna wow anybody, but all the guy does is produce. He's a rebounding machine and is FAR, FAR more capable of scoring than those other 2. Yet he never sees the floor! I don't even think he played at all yesterday! For some reason florveus continues to get the bulk of the minutes. WHY FOX, WHY?

-Kenny Gaines is a baller and is one of the best players on the team. Fox clearly doesn't like him (he's made several comments including to the media about how stubborn and hard headed he is, and you could read his lips last game saying not to shoot the fricking ball so much), but the guy is a MUCH better answer at the 2 than brantley. Brantley does 1 thing and 1 thing only, shoot 3s. That's great if they're going in, but if they're not than he's worthless and just taking up space. His passes are lackadaisical, he can't dribble, can't drive, nothing. Yesterday Gaines hit a 3 then was immediately taken out of the game!

-Mann is really starting to come on strong. Our starting lineup should be:

1 Mann/Williams
2 Gaines/KCP
3 KCP/Nemi
4 Morris
5 Cannon

That is the most capable lineup of actually scoring, which should kind of be a priority in the game of basketball. Dixon, Florveus, D Williams, Brantley don't really provide a threat to score. Nemi is up and down, but he serves his role. And unlike many of the others he can actually catch the ball in traffic and make a post move. Morris is really starting to impress me too, I like his minutes. But it is absolutely maddening to watch shitty players get the bulk of the PT, while clearly much better players sit the bench all game. Then when one of the players that isn't Fox's favorite comes in for a few and is productive and makes a play, he immediately yanks them out. I don't care if we go to the sweet 16 this year, I've about had it up to hear with that shite. Because that's not something like a few recruiting misses or players missing free throws that can be rectified, that's just who he is and we're stuck with it.
