There's an obvious line. The dust had settled a little from last night and a general "hey let's not completely trash the student-athletes" suggestion was made. The post that it was met with is completely unnecessary. Not sure how you don't see that. But you're another one of the people who hasn't been here all year and is suddenly showing up, so who knows what you're actually doing here.

Here you are with more either/or stuff. A sign of exceptional brilliance lol. You can be both my friend. And me being either one has nothing to do with it.

I would assume sometimes friends or family of players come in here to read up and I don't think it's a good look for them to see fans denigrating players.

Anyone capable of articulating a point can say that Scott doesn't offer us much on the offensive side but could also point out he rebounds fairly well, sets picks, passes fairly well, plays pretty good D etc.

He is below average in scoring ability...but he realizes this and doesn't hunt shots. Does this mean he "f-ing sucks" or is "awful"? I don't think so but I guess it depends on what perspective you are looking at it. I mean he is the first back up to Clark.

Lots of things go into making those decisions. Some info we May not know about. We are 14-2 with 7 straight appearances to the dance doing it his way. If you feel knowledgeable and comfortable second guessing him have at it. I tend to look at why he has made that decision. Him being hardheaded is not one I come up with.

He's done a great job Waite. There are things he can improve....that is all I am saying. I don't revert to "coach knows best" on every aspect of the game...but on 90% of them I will concede to him. There are other coaches to watch and see how they operate. He has to find his own weaknesses as a coach and improve on them just like he wants players to improve in certain areas.

I’m fine with that. He’d probably tell you he isn’t perfect either.

I think one of the problems with certain fans is if the player is not a good scorer that he sucks and can't help the team. This is a very myopic point of view IMO.

been here for the away games i wasn't at in person, boss. there hasn't been much worth posting on as a lot of this repeat cycle nonsense gets old.

your broad, sweeping conclusions to a post simply asking what's wrong with offering a critical assessment of a player when it's important to the overall conversation are off base.

Fans are emotional about the team. That’s why sports are big business.
