Obviously nobody that matters cares. To allow thuis garbage for so long is mind boggling.

This is the part that really hurts, - these young men/players came to Aggieland with the idea of being coached and given direction, etc. They have apparently gotten none of that!!! Sad, really sad!

I don't think he's good but tonight I thought he was fine.

the three coaches who left last year (one of whom was mainly a recruiter) have been replaced by two recruiters and one coach who seems to have had no impact at all on our offensive schemes.

amir and darby can coach; not much help otherwise.

I get that we had far too many turnovers and didn't take care of business on the defensive glass (we grabbed 21 def boards and gave up 16 offensive boards, which is horrific), but these ridiculous FT disparities on the road sure are annoying. The numbers don't have to be exactly the same, but when the FT ratio is pushing 3 to 1, that's almost always bull**** reffing.

It seems by the play of the team that they haven't been taught fundamentals, lack focus (turnovers), and seem lacksidasical on offense. Plus, the defense (sans blocks) isn't as solid. They also play timid and not tough (like a BCG coached team).

We need a new coach next year - plain and simple. Anyone who denies that doesn't care about being even competitive in basketball. The results from the last 6 years speak for themselves.

Hustle.
Value the ball.
Quit playing Collins except for a minute or two to give gilder a break.
Basically only pull one starter at a time unless they're in foul trouble. Some of the rotations have been laughable.
Work the officials. If it didn't work every other coach in America wouldn't do it.
Quit letting Tony jack up threes. He's shooting a terrible percentage.
Did I mention hustle. I swear we play at 80%.

why should our soft spoken coach ever get calls on the road? It's an easy calculation for refs. You think it's just bad luck this happens time and again to BK on the road?

Williams lack of hustle has been hard to watch since we started league play. The guy has his moments, block shots, this and that but he also lazily lolligags up and down the court.

It does seem odd that I see quite a few comments to the effect that our players could try harder...
But we consistently get called for MORE FOULS than the team that is supposedly trying harder than us.
Perhaps it gets discouraging to be called for a foul every time you "try too hard"?
Perhaps we need better coaching on what are fouls?
Perhaps our coaches could be more active (I mean it does not seem like the refs could be any worse)?

Williams lack of hustle is because we have a coach that doesn't value hustle. It's a coaching problem not a player problem.

I get the concept of working the ref and agree that Kennedy should do more of it, but you shouldn't have to work the ref to prevent 40 minutes of one-sided reffing on the road.

We cut the lead to two and Eubanks gave up an open jumper and then couldn't catch a pass that hit his hands.

Agreed.....but that lack of hustle on the missed free throw was embarrassing.

Teams that play lazy, sloppy defense often get called for a lot of fouls. They get out of position and have to resort to swiping and grabbing.

I couldn't tell you about the hustle in the game, but work the officials is most definitely a thing. Do you really believe it's something that's made up?

As frustrating as some of these basketball posters can be, I really don't want to see them leave.
