I love it when people attack the kids who chose to play at A&M and defend the a-hole who is paid $1.5m/year and consistently throws them under the bus. Kennedy's system is crap - we're not generating tons of easy looks that the kids aren't making. More often than not, we're running poorly structured screens around the perimeter that does nothing besides kill clock. Or, when playing zone d, we just pass around the perimeter. It's appalling shite basketball and very rarely do we play our strengths to their weaknesses.

As an example, Kentucky demonstrated Kennedy's ineptitude indisputably. Our entire gameplan was utter crap. That was on the coach. It was so bad, halfwit commentators called a basic 2-3 zone a rubic's cube.

Goaltending for the guy makes no sense whatsoever. That we are having this conversation in year 7, with 212 data points showing what a pile of shite coach he is leads me to think that the only explanation for your posting is that you enjoy trolling everyone.

Sometimes, and believe me this is rare, but every now and again, I think Looch doesn't know what he's talking about.

Every year, huh? So last year... and then? The year before, no that's not right. The year before that? Nope, not right either. So every year = last year. Got it.

Cajuns and keyboards is just a brutal combination. Hard to believe that y'all could make less sense typing than you do talking, but thanks for helping me realize anything is possible.

Well it will make him worse over time, but the problem is, and this is the key point, he really sucks dick regardless.

Well, just submit a resume for an assistant coach position. According to jorts, they're giving them away. :dude:

The bigger problem is that depending on your view, the ship is either sinking or sunk, and this season, we lost two of the guys who were trying (failing) to bail water out.

Right now, the only assistant coach on the roster is a guy that wasn't a coach in any capacity a few years ago. So he'll be teaching fundamentals along with a fellow who has a disease that makes it hard to focus on details.

2014-15 is going to be brutal.

Let's go ahead and bump this in light of the news that Cyprien has left the building.

The ineptitude on display tonight was absolutely priceless. Time and time again we made boneheaded plays that were so stunningly stupid, it was hard to fathom. I'd have gotten pissed off if some of that crap was happening in a pickup game.

There were two perfect moments. First, the last play of the first half, in which Caruso drove, kicked the ball to Jones, who was clearly not open, resulting in Jones making a half hearted attempt to create space before launching a tightly contested fade away three pointer from about 25'. That's the best you got Kennedy? Figures.

The second moment was when fabyon fell on the ball and just sorta flopped around on the court before trying to stand up. Obviously, he get whistled for a travel. This was with two minutes left or so, aka crunch time in a close game. We keep finding innovative ways to screw games up. It's pretty amazing. This of course overlooks the fact that Illinois State played like absolute shite tonight. In the last 5 minutes, they ran a few effective P&Rs because Roberson had anti-flubber on his shoes, but other than that, they just sorta dribbled the ball out. On a few occasions, I honestly thought they were just going to eat the shot clock violation.

In sum, this game was a definitive statement by Kennedy - "Mr. Hyman, I have no intention of ever achieving anything at A&M." Maybe, just maybe, Hyman was listening.

The Baptism was such a great moment. IIRC, that was the same season as the 5OT game against Baylor. Walking out of Reed, I wanted so desperately for some baptist to start a fight. I was so full of rage. Apparently, so was Mr. Sloan. I don't know that I've ever lived vicariously through a play like that one. It was a glorious frick YOU to the entire city of Waco.

I am so butthurt about Pearl going to Auburn. We hire him and there is an immediate turnaround in attendance, people are excited, and we'd actually field a competent team next year.
