Will Mike have his first losing season?

Didn't think it would happen, but there's a high chance it does. Mike has to win 2 of the last 3 regular season games to keep his spot in that elite title of "coaches with 15+ years of experience with no losing records". I say there's a 50/50 shot right now that it happens. We showed some life against Kentucky and we do get to play an 0-14 Vandebilt team, but we have to beat Ole Miss or Alabama, and I'm not sure that we can pull it off. We're more than capable of winning all 3, but I just don't know if we will even win two. (Technically Mike could also avoid a losing record even if he does lose two of the next 3 by going 2-1 or better in the SEC tournament). This isn't about if you want Mike to have his first losing season. It's about if you think it's going to happen this year

There was a minute last night i almost thought we had a chance. then i watched us melt down in incredible fashion. It was like watching 2016-2017 football. It was terrible. If we were in Britain i would be giving mike the no vote of confidence that he ends with a .500 record.

IMO he's had multiple losing seasons. Not making the tournament should be considered a losing season for this program.

No it should be considered a disapointing season. Whether you like it or not math is math.

He fluffs his non-con so much that he would never have a losing season

Will say he doesn't get very many good home and homes but to be completley fair Mike does like to get us into beginning of the year tournaments where we have the chance to get some marquee out of conference wins. Our OOC during his tenure is not all fluff

25th highest paid coach that's spent very little time in the top 25 team rankings.
ROI with Anderson is like his record - utter Meh.

That's great now do you think he's going to win or lose these next three games?

He'll lose 2 of the 3. All three are more winnable than last night's game, but CMA won't have Kentucky to keep them focused, and he's proven OVER AND OVER he's utterly incapable of doing it himself.

This mindset right here is why the program is in shite condition. With the tradition, fan support, and money this program brings in anything less than a tournament bid should be considered a failure and a losing season.
Only losers take the "math" approach like you.

It's a failed season but mathematically it's not a losing season. It's a failed "winning" season.

IDK. I hope Mike wins out all the way through the SEC tournament. And wins his first SEC tournament.
But I'd still want another coach. Folks we are Arkansas and we shouldn't rise and fall solely on what can be recruited within our borders. We need a coach who can recruit top talent and if its not asking too much coach too.

Couldn't agree more there. I think Mike is a solid coach. He's just failed horribly as a recruiter.

If Mike were a 'solid coach' he would not have so many 2nd half collapses in games.
When Calipari out-coaches you with 2nd half adjustments it's pretty telling.
A solid coach wouldn't have a team beating LSU on the road, playing UK to the wire, and losing in pathetic fashion to aTm and Mizzou at home.
Give this team to Nolan in his prime and they'd play infinitely harder... or they would be berated by their coach ON the court ON national TV. Then be sent to the bench for more arse kicking.
...and they'd be a shoe-in for a single digit NCAA seed.

If he wasn't a solid coach he'd already have been fired. Every team has 2nd half collapses. Sure we've had a lot more than others THIS season but overall that's not a theme for Mike.

That's not how you coach basketball in 2019. There's literaly no coaches in CBB that are as intense as Nolan was and that's because kids no longer want to play for those kinds of coaches unless your name is Bo Ryan or Jim Boeheim and even those two are mild compared to how Nolan was.

I guess if you're coaching a bunch of snowflakes you might think that.
Maybe since this is from 2010 you consider it irrelevant to today's game - LINK
...but what do those coaches know... they're only winners. Not 'solid' coaches like CMA.

Did you actually read the article? It's literaly the opposite of what your point is.

Yes, I did.
and
No, it's not.
You can try to take it out of context and spin it if you like.
Or you can spin it that Nolan was always yelling abusively at his players, and this article doesn't portray someone who's always being abusive to his players.
Nolan wasn't always dealing out verbal abuse. But whatever... Mike's the kind of coach we need in today's game.
:rolleyes:
