You think BK is getting us anywhere? We need some passion; only BCG had shown me this since Shelby roamed the court!

They let the person coaching the team last year go and give an extension to the sorry coach

Turge didn't have passion?

Turge was good, just whined too much.

Turge -- at A&M, 4 straight 24+ win seasons. 4 straight NCAA appearances.

Turge -- Terps are 16-2 and top 25 this year. Finished #12 last year.#16 the year before that.

I just don't understand how people thought he was a bad coach and that he "left the cupboard empty" for BK.

BK took over a team predicted to win the b12 and won 4 conference games that year. The only people that claim he inherited a bare cupboard are those that are sympathetic to him for his character/condition/something church related. This is what happens when donors get too friendly with coaches. The donor-coach relationship should remain professional and ideally there wouldn't be a relationship at all.

You'd probably swing and miss, just like OP did on this thread.

Jeff Boals is who we need. Obviously, for that reason, it won't happen.

The moment that everyone should have realized BK gets to stay as long as he wants is when we passed on Buzz Williams to keep him. Kennedy gets to do whatever he wants.

I'm not asking this as a bash to Kennedy.

What are the character traits that you mention other people reference? I have heard this before. I'm not insinuating that I think he has poor character. I've just never really seen evidence of anything that made me respect his character any more than the average D1 head coach. I genuinely am curious; if nothing else, it would be nice to hear something nice about the man for a change.

Billy Clyde is going to have to work his way up from assistant coach on a small high school team first.

The highlight will be when the head coach gets kicked out of the game, and BCG calls for the picket fence to win the game.

But then a few nights later, he'll cost the team a technical foul when he misses the start of the game and stumbles on to the court looking like this:

According to a friend who spoke with him recently, BCG is looking to get back into coaching soon.

Interesting how far the guy has fallen as he can go to a basketball game in small towns and not be noticed at all. Just sits in the crowd unidentified by most.

My dad met BK at an FCA meeting a couple years back. My father had just been diagnosed with Parkinson's. A mutual friend told BK and introduced them. Coach took about 20 minutes with my dad, and greatly encouraged him, telling him about medications and expectations. He invited him to come and spend a day with him after the season. BK seems like a very kind and gracious man, that goes out of his way to help others.

That said, I obviously think highly of him as a person. I think he is a below-average coach and its definitely time to move on. You don't keep a coach in a major D-1 program because he is a great guy.

Sad situation with BCG.
I hope he is healthy now.

I don't think the powers that be would ever hire him back at A&M.
But he had this program absolutely rocking when he was here.
Aggie basketball was the cool thing on campus. Turge was a great coach and kept things rolling but BCG was a rock star.
I miss those days. Went to all the games.
I have been to 1 freaking game since BK has been here.. And I live less than 10 minutes from Reed. Even last year when we were decent I couldn't get into it.
BK has just sucked the life outta Aggie basketball for me.
