Micks Philosophy needs to change.

[waterhead]

I'm dealing with it just fine. I attend every single game, will attend the league tournament in Memphis, and if we get an NCAA bid, I'll go there. If , god forbid, we get an NIT bid, hopefully we, get a home game and I'll be at that one as well. If Mick had more fans like me, these sites would be a lot different. That's the problem!

I wasn't insinuating you are not a good fan because you would like to see a coaching change. In fact those who are passionate about improving the program are usually the some of the best fans.

I was simply saying it's not going to happen this year or next so having these "get a new coach" debates now are kind of like wishing for a million dollars to show up in your pocket. I don't think there is any way it can be productive for our team or the program right now because we have a lot of games left. I am not telling anyone what to do but I think these conversations are better left toward end of season (if it should become a lost cause) or even after the season.

Yes these forums are about opinion but nobody in here wants to settle for mediocrity. We all want UC to be great. Some are confident it won't happen with this coach and some still think it can. Both sides want UC to be great...so equating not wanting to get a new coach with settling for mediocrity is just disengenuous. I am not in either camp right now...still on the fence. Seen some good trends and some bad ones.

The reason why we have the coaches that we do have is because we are only aloud to have coaches who will let Mick talk to them crazy. That's why all the good coaches leave because they demand there respect and integrity. Who tells there basketball players to suck there $$$$ and then expect them to get out there and work hard for you? It must be nice. Give respect and you will have everything at you beck and call. I'm specking of production.

Between NewPeople and Basketball.com haven't you figured out yet they're either friends or relatives of KJ? They figure this is the place to sing his praises as if Mick takes this site to heart and bases his decisions on their posts.

It does seem pretty transparent...however, its a little early for relatives/friends of a player to be so angry... if my interpretation of their jibberish posts are correct that is....

I really hope they aren't relatives or friends of KJ. He's a really nice player and we're all high on him... and so is Mick. But you have to earn your keep. Just because you were a stud in high school doesn't mean you are going to step on the floor your freshman year and play 30 minutes per game. He's in the rotation and gets regular playing time. He wouldn't play any more than he is now at most major D-I programs. He's a nice rotation player for now, but not starter material. I wouldn't mind seeing him get some minutes over Guyn and Sanders, but he's not going to steal any minutes from SK for good reason.

Agreed. I think we all want him to finish more consistently however I'm impressed with his quickness and his ability to take the ball to hoop... he can create his own shot, just needs to finish it out. But I think he def push sanders and guyn too.

So incorrect, why can't I just be a fan. Everybody on this site has a player that they really enjoy and KJ just so happen to be mines. I'm also a fan of TC,TR and SK whom I've had the opportunity to watch as well in the past, I also like me some ST,that's why I get upset at him for not showing his true skill set. I'm a student at the university of Cincinnati for those that want to know, which is what I spoke of when I joined the site. Now NewPeople seems to be all out ignorant to me,sounds like a kid from reading there post or a female is what I get out of it. I am a fan of UC and that's why I choose to attend the school, where I pay my school tuition, so therefore I am entitled to state my opinion, just as everybody else on this site. I could go on and on with some of the comments that have been stated about the players and the coaching philosophy, but I choose to speak on the player that I like at this time. KJ has a lot of goods and short comings but who doesn't on this team. The only NBA player as of now on this team is SK, and he is the real deal, just want to see others pitch in and KJ is who I like.

OK with me. But since this is a thread where people opine, maybe you should audit English 101 again (usually a freshman prerequisite), and pass that suggestion on to New People.

CD, lets not go down the personal attack road. Other sites openly allow it and this site has done a good job of controlling it. I read reports from engineers on a daily basis and these guys write like Charles Dickens compared to the average engineer's writing that I have to decipher.

Yeah, let's not call out any posters, even if they are morons and post like they are drunk. But if you want to personally attack the coach or any of the players, have at it. No need to hold back when calling the coach disloyal, or saying that the fan base despises him, or overtly state that he has a racial bias, or call for him to be fired, or question the IQ of the players. But if a poster posts something stupid or indecipherable, just pat him on the back, and say good job. Thanks for posting.
