Temple: Round 2

[TheRealUC]

I love when people say this. If you want better than middle of the pack in the AAC, go root for a school you have no affiliation with, in an area where you've never lived or been to before!

and it's even better when you constantly shit on the players and coaches of the team you support.

That's from an agenda-less poster Jacob.

What would your thoughts of keeping Mick as the head coach, but bringing in a young offensive minded assistant coach? He would simply help at practice to develop our players offensive ability, but still let Mick teach them the tough defensive side of the game.

As long as Cronin is hell bent on being the slowest team in America, it won't matter. His default setting is a high school brand of basketball.

The die-hards are dying. Sad.

So you're only die hard if you're unhappy?

Mick is too stubborn. It's his way or the highway.. Defense wins.....oh wait????

6-6 in the last 12 games is not good enough. Sounds like you'd accept literally anything. That's your business. But don't act like you can't understand why this isn't good enough for some.

I was talking to and about Bearcatboy.

He never coached high school Jacob. We got him off of the Woodward freshman team.

 

[Bearcats Sports]

If the team continues to lose Mick will have to change some of his ways. He wants this team to win more than anything. If delegating some of the offensive responsibilities would help us to win, theres no reason he wouldn't agree to doing this.

 

[UCBearcats]

Maybe so, that's why I don't spend all my days worrying about it anymore I'll just keep cheering the Bearcats on and hopefully we win enough to get to the tournament and make a run if not we will try again next year

I think cheering on the team and voicing displeasure with the coach are two separate things. I want to see the team do well but I have no faith in our current coaches abilities to do the things he needs to do to get us back to elite status. The current brand of basketball we play is very hard to watch. In addition our recruiting and player development are both lacking. As a fan all I can do is voice my displeasure and I use this forum to do it. I can still hope that if enough people agree with me something will change eventually.

I'd hate to have to give up all hope on this program like I have the Bengals. I'm pushing closer and closer to apathy every year.

My agenda is to support these guys and enjoy being a fan...you were fine with losing early as a top 1 or 2 seed year after year under huggs. Mick doesn't get that pass, I understand that. But I'm still gonna enjoy being a fan as "un-die hard" as that is

Mick thinks to be a good defensive team you have to play grind it out, possession by possession games.

 

[TNBearcat3]

I'm not going to sit back silently and watch this crap system year after year. All we can do is voice our opinions that this garbage brand of basketball isn't good enough for this university.

Do you think your pissing and moaning will actually make a difference though? What we think on a message board means very little to anyone who matters when it comes to UC Basketball.

No doubt about it, what people say on this board means nothing. I don't understand why so many people get so butt hurt when people voice their frustration with Mick, not saying you are, just an observation in general.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, this message board is a forum to voice those opinions. I've been here for a long time voicing displeasure with Mick while being swarmed by his supporters. Now many folks who rode the fence are starting to get frustrated with the results. This was bound to happen when the coach of our team is putting this poor product on the floor.

I'm a fan of the program. The coach is a highly paid employee of the university. When a highly paid employee isn't doing their job, you replace them. It happens everywhere. We can do much better with $2.3 million dollars. I have no loyalty to an underforming employee. I fully support the student athletes and their effort. They deserve to be coached better.

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

Watching WVU, announcer said Devin Williams grew up a Bearcat fan and wanted to play for Huggins. Does any kid in Cincinnati feel the same way about us anymore? Do kids dream of playing for Mick?

 

[TNBearcat3]

I'm as pissed as the next guy with how things are going, but I know complaining on a message board will make 0 difference. Only thing I do know is I hope to God we start playing better and soon, it's tough to watch.

Agreed for the most part...but you've had your mind made up for years.

And what the hell is wrong with that? I'm criticized for recognizing it first? Not sure I was the first to see it or not, but I was certainly one of the first. I've given him many chances to win me back, and he has many times, but then the things he does loses me again.

Things certainly won't get better if we just sit back and bite our tongue. Don't believe that plenty of important people don't glance at these message boards. You wouldn't be doing your job if you ignore what your fans think.
