10% capacity was set by the school because it’s the only way they get a sell out again under Brannen.

Yet... Justin scrambling to get tickets. Interesting.

Legend laughs at Justin.

Thanks !

Done. I'll take them.

I have some priority as a 10 yr ticket holder but mostly cheap seats.

Listened to the radio show, Brannen sounded very defensive. They also didn't take calls.

It's apparent that Brannen is feeling the heat. Hopefully that leads him to take a look at the current state of things and make positive changes. It seems like he is committed to what he is doing and wants to convince fans to wait it out. Hopefully he's correct.

Bro area coaches and players in high school link up and network all time. It’s explains it below me, he wasn’t best of friends with UC and didn’t even want us use gym. How he got job if that’s true is mind boggling.

Bro coaches go other teams practices all time. Our secret scrimmages was glorified practice! Once again in high school we trained and practiced with other teams all time especially during off season. You telling me UC/nku didn’t have open gyms together?

You’ll think John is purposefully destroying UC because he’s a secret Xavier fan?

He’s certainly anti-mick! I can tell he didn’t like no white players on scholarship, he fixed that immediately.

Damn. Mick’s 2nd year team is now rated higher in Kenpom then this UC team.

That’s what remarkable about Mick’s tenure. For 5 straight years when he took over, he improved year over year in Kenpom and did it in the Big East.

If anything derailed Mick Cronin it was the move to the AAC. He was well on his way to being really good while snagging good talent in a good league all while playing in a busted ass arena,

I want John to succeed. But I think it’s gonna take some serious self evaluation on his part.

All indications (from the post-game and Brannen radio show) seem to be that Brannen is going to double down. Brannen's opinion seems to be that the problems are because he hasn't installed his culture strongly enough. His given players too much leeway, he has let culture slide in favor of winning now.

Coaches (Brannen being no exception) tend to have big egos. He doesn't think he is the problem, the players are the problem. If he has made mistakes it's because he has been too lenient.

If it works and we turn things around great. If not, it probably burns things down quickly, which is also good as we don't want to keep a bad coach around longer than needed.

The rest of the season and early post-season will tell us a lot. There are a lot of indications that there are issues in the locker room. It's either players or Brannen, but there are definitely problems. Either Brannen fixes it, or there is an exodus and Brannen's coaching career here will come to a quick end.
