Coaching changes

[ralph1950]

Not quite. St. John's hires Lavin

Is that a good thing?


UTEP hires Tim Floyd. If WVU had not turned Huggins down when he went after the job in 2003, Tim Floyd would have just completed his 7th year as UC's head coach, or maybe Tim would have UC in the Final 4 this year.

Ok let's put it this way.

Put all the excuses aside. Meaning when he took over the team, players IQ, etc. I have said why I don't trust in his abilities. I'll let you guys explain now.

What do you see in Mick Cronin that leads you to believe he can get the job done?

......
Thought so.

You can close it now!

Don't take silence as a sign that people agree with you. Rather as a sign that people know with you there is no true debate. If I thought you'd really consider any points I'd lay several out. Why waste the time?

These are my thoughts exactly!

Here's what I'd like to see:

1) Some resemblance of an Offense
-I wanted to see crisp passes. Passes with a purpose, not simply throwing between 2 guards outside the 3 point line
-It would be nice to see OPEN looks every once and a while as well. I feel a lot of shots taken are contested.
-Transition points; I want Willks on Top 10 every morning with a break away dunk.
2) Players get better with their tenure here
-I'm not talking about the one year guys yet, Lance, Cash, Thomas. Judgement is out on them until next year. I want to see better play from year to year.
-Vaughn has gotten worse, Dixon doesn't see the court anymore, Larry lost his J, Biggie is still a work in progress, and Gates! oh my Gates, I'm speechless.
3) Tempo
- I firmly believe if you have to adapt to the players on your team. We keep saying we are athletic, but not good basketball players. Then why not full court press, and run a little on offense. Not only will this help win games, but fans will come to watch that! Who wants to watch Boring basketball?? win or lose...

If Mick can get this done, I will jump on board, but I haven't seen it and until then I can't help but stick with my comments.

Go Cats!

I have laid mine out.

Your turn.

All I hear is Mick took over a program in shambles. That has nothing to do with his ability to coach. Its an excuse.

Mick is our coach, now and for next year. I think we all know the arguments for/against Cronin. At this point, no minds will be changed on this, so why continue this debate. Time to move on.

Besides, its spring football time.
