Unofficial Coaching Search Thread

[Spartacavolus]

there are too many good coaches and players playing today. If you have a pg, dominant player, good shooters, a combination of some or all and some good coaching, you can hang with teams. The foul trouble or shooters have an off night, you lose. Everybody that has played knows some nights it's just off. Sometimes one player, sometimes more.

Nothing is guaranteed. I just look at how much he has learned from his brother and his dad, who is an offensive genius. Hit teams play hard and aggressive with confidence. He sees the game from a pg perspective and played at the D1 level without the athletic ability of others and ranks in NC state record books, which means he sees things other coaches and former players don't.
Good ball coaches lose games and bad coaches win games. I just like what I see. Would roll with others mentioned as well, but prefer to have one of course that isn't set in his ways and plays to the strength of his team and players.

Someday Tennessee fans will realize that it is not their decision to make. Who gives a rat's ***what they?we think. Fans don't develop the contract, determine the compensation, or sign the contract. Time for the Administration to get back to the decision making and get some stability back into all Tennessee athletic programs.

It is our decision to support the program with our $$$, which is the lifeblood of the UTAD.

Fans do indirectly effect decisions through ticket sales and merchandise. I suspect another bad hire will send us back to the 8-10k attendance numbers.

So are you saying teams like A&M also have good players, and a missed shot here by someone who normally makes shots and a made shot there by someone who usually makes shots can change a season? That seems reasonable.

Sure it can. But I also watched the first 2.5 years and didn't like what I saw, which was a lot of the ball played in a game like that when you take your deep team and run them to death. Shouldn't have come down to the shots. 55ish points, twice, with our talent is absurd. Total coaching and gameplan failure. Martin coming out now talking about playing a zone is exactly the type of thing some of us refer to. If he played zone last year, many of us thought he could have stolen 3-4 wins. Martin supporters called us dumbasses. Now, he admits it won some games and it could have won games. Yet we didn't try it and went to the NIT. He should figure that out early in the first year. Not 2.5 years in.
He just doesn't think quickly, anticipate or prepare for opponents, as he evidently watched no film on Michigan with a week to prepare.

If you read it how do you not have a link?

I read it early this morning and I can' t remember the website. It is called old-timers.

Tyndall could walk in a recruits house wearing a Faried Nugget's jersey and just be like...yeah

Tyndall is a joke, and a mediocre coach at best, I'd rather have cuonzo back.

Now I would not go that far.

He watched no film on Michigan, and yet, held both of their leading scorers below their averages? That seemed like an O.K. defensive game plan. Archie won 17 games in a bad conference last year and didn't make the N.I.T. at a historically excellent mid major like Dayton. I'm just not seeing how he gets a pass.

He's far from a joke.

Amazing concept huh? Cant believe some people don't understand that.

not Richard P.

Edit: nope. I didn't give that enough thought.

they scored almost 50 points in the first half and our team was totally unprepared for their pick and roll/pop game. He also allowed Beilin to pick us apart by having Maymon guard GR3. How you deflect away from that is typical though. Are you able to watch games and judge what's happening on the court? Or are you one of these stat guys that has no clue and learns the game from a sheet of paper?
Not giving anybody a pass. The fact is Archie is in his 3rd year and took a team to the tourney. Martin has the same amount of tourney appearances in twice the time and doesn't know or see the game as well as too many of his peers.

Archie. I just like the way that family sees basketball. It's in their genes and they know the game better than many others.

Does that translate into a great coach? Who knows. I'd be up for seeing if it did though

I said the same thing about Martin but you claimed it was all coaching. Why does this not apply to the couple of games like A&M this year?

Shouldn't be his fault he was told wood craft and auto body was a core class. Imo

LOL.

People need to stop evaluating coaches entirely based on a tournament that has proven to be a crapshoot with the best team rarely winning

I like him also - he would be in my top group of candidates.

No kidding. It's actually much worse when they use conference tournament success as indicators of how skilled a coach is or isn't.

Who has used a coaches conf tourney success as a barometer?

Who remembers what happened in December?

They remember the teams that went deep into the Tournament and who won the Tourney. It is the benchmark by which coaches and programs are measured.
