I don't think our problem has anything to do with pouting, imploding, or quitting or whatever you wanna call it. we play hard most nights, rarely get blown out, regularly get up off the deck when the other team has gone on a run. those are facts that have been true of most of our teams. I do sometimes wish he'd be a little more aggressive with timeouts but he is not alone in being more conservative with them, including many successful coaches. that's the main reason I think this is a ridiculous criticism. playing hard is the last thing I would ever whine about re: grant's teams.

our problem is that we have a very raw, unskilled basketball team and don't have a scheme good enough to offset this. I will say, there aren't many schemes that could when you can't shoot from the perimeter and have no real threat in the post. but that's all on grant because he's been here long enough to be held accountable for the personnel and our continuing struggles on offense.

again, I'm on board with replacing him, I just think the pouting argument doesn't fit here. yes, he's a stoic coach, but in many cases, there is something to be said for that. the long and the short of it is we have a bunch of scrubs on offense and no creativity on that end. I just don't think grants demeanor has a ducking thing to do with it. if we were laying down in games, I would think you had a point, but we play pretty hard. we 're just not any good.

if Jacobs would become more aggressive and demand the ball this could easily be the opposite

I agree with everything you said. I wasn't saying we suck because of his demeanor. It's just another thing to complain about. It adds on to my frustrations of how our offense hasn't changed in 5 years. We lack creativity and Grant had a chance to change coaches over the offseason and he promoted Pettway and kept Pujol. He's obviously too stubborn to change.
