re: Alright y'all...real talk about our hoops team

Meh, I voted for Obama, am in the military, and I support Mike Anderson.

I'll say this...there is a lot of sentimentality in that support. I was one of the people who felt that Mike should have gotten the job after Nolan left (or was forced out I should say). That also being said, here is the way I look at it, mostly just talking points:

-Mike took over a dumpster fire at UAB, and turned them into a damn solid program. I mean, UAB was a better program than we were for those years he was there than we were for the five years before.

-He inherited an absolute shite-show at Missouri after Quin Snyder was forced out. There was a lot of clamoring in Columbia to fire Anderson after he went 16-16 and dismissed some of the best players on the team for conduct detrimental to the team. However, the next year he took them to the Elite 8. The team was rebuilt slowly before they were pretty stacked.

-We are dealing with APR issues and tons of other shite. As much as people want to say they don't care, that does buy a coach some time.

-Most of our problems (esp. on the road) seem like we run out of gas offensively. Depth will change that and allow us to play more effectively on defense and offense.

-Heath couldn't do it in 3 years. Pelphrey couldn't do it in 3 years. Given the state of our program now, what makes you think getting into this hire and fire cycle every 3 years is going to help? Best thing to do is ride this thing out, and see where it goes before jumping off the wagon.
