Half of this current team is projects? I hate projects. They rarely work out. I want guys that can shoot and understand basketball. Defense no longer wins championships.

Its an offensive game. Change/adapt or gtfo out.
he won 30+ games two years running. His way is working. Legend if Mick quits tomorrow I will wager you any amount that we will not win a NCAA championship in the next 20 years regardless who they are able to bring in here. We don't cheat and we are not P-5. I agree with you his last two recruiting classes to this point have been MIA.

Losing to a Big 10 team does not hurt you when you play in our league.

Jenifer is shooting 36% from 3 for his career. That is probably the last thing I would critique about his game. He is a PG and he's not doing a great job of putting his team in position to score.

At 36% he should probably go ahead and take every wide open look he gets from 3.

I do think Cane deserves a pass. He had a bad game but we have seen what he can do last year. I think our 3 best players are Cumberland Cane and Logan.

He won 30+ games with 2 NBA players and a 3rd "scorer" .... And his philosophy got us what tourney success? The worse loss in my sports watching lifetime?

Look. I'm good with Mick and how he runs the program. Happy with what he's done here.

But if he refuses to change his philosophy then we will never have tourney success. It's that simple.... Why not hire a young brilliant offensive minded guru for the bench? Why does he only have pawns on the bench that are terrified to question his poor logic?

Until we are able to recruit with the big boys again this is the product we are forced to live with. Are you willing to bit the bit for a couple years while Mick changes his philosophy which enables us to win a bunch of games and compete for league and conference titles for the chance we may advance a bit farther in the dance,

And Legend my friend your much to smart a fan to believe the melt down we had in the Nevada game was philosophy.

I think mick over coaches his team. There terrified to play basketball for fear of getting yanked. And I think that heavily contributed to Nevada...

There are solutions to the offensive issue. This team has limited talent. The solution is to never be in the half court. Rebound and release. Run teams out of the gym. Even if numbers don't dictate a fast break.

This team has some very high level athletes. There not great basketball players. Play to your strengths mick. Let them run and gun.

I don't get the over coached thing. I mean we jack up more threes than any normal team would with this bad of shooters. Seems like they have free range to fire away. He doesn't stand for turnovers or defensive breakdowns which is fine by me.

He had 2 fouls in the 1H, he ended the game with 2 fouls. He should not have been benched with one foul for so long with the lack of offensive talent.
