...lack of coaching these quality young men is just dereliction of duty from president of university on down!

Let me know what specifically you would have done differently with this personnel.

---

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%.

---

Work the officials isn't a thing.
You honestly got Lack of hustle of of this game?

This game and every other game this year, until the closing minutes when we decide to give a damn. The SEC, as a league, plays half-hearted most the time, but we are the worst. We have better talent than most the SEC and at least half of the Big12, yet we are one of the worst teams out of those 24.

Why?
LACK OF EFFORT.

It's fairly easy to see. We play offense, then take about 5 seconds off, then play defense, then take about 5 seconds off, etc, etc.

We are sloppy with the ball, we dribble dribble dribble dribble, cause our offense is slow and lazy and no one can get open, cause they're lazy.

It's awful.

Ok, you're doing a bit, right? Trolling?

It's either that or you're in BK's circle of church friends that's protecting him.

If you don't know basketball that's fine but surely you can at least identify defensive intensity. If you watched any of our teams under BCG, you saw what that looked like. We aren't anywhere close to that. You can make whatever excuse you want for BK, except not being able to get max effort out of his players. Lack of a point guard, talent, whatever, this team doesn't give max effort for 40 minutes and there is no excuse for that.

I couldn't disagree more. How did we look ready to play last night?

---

Rocco S said:

So if we don't agree with your opinions then we get sarcastically labeled an expert. That's about right given the excuses you're making for BK.

---

• He's not a good coach.
• His players play hard
• The team is bad.
• The players have some talent.

Both are ridiculous. We ALL want the same thing. A successful basketball team. That's why the dozen or so of us who post here regularly do so.

I honestly think the question is no longer should Kennedy be replaced. Pretty much every poster here thinks that. Pumpkinhead, Bob, probably even Hop. The only difference of opinion is why do we have to read post after post all saying he needs to be fired.

There was no reason to put a 30 day payout clause in Sumlin's contract, and Childress's contract shouldn't have been upped last year either. We need much more of a cutthroat culture within our athletic department.

Rocco S said:

I would have fired him after the 2015 season. 4 years, 0 tournament appearances. What you want to do is focus entirely on last year and forget the 4 previous years.

---

Rocco S said:

Go back and look at my post at 9:53. That's why. He never should have gotten last year. He got it based on being a nice guy. 06-07 was better than last year and arguing that would be ridiculous

Does it matter how well this team is coached if they can't hang on to the basketball? How many games does Coach K win with 20+ turnovers?

Dumb

He's made the tourney once in six years TCam. Four of those six years were flat awful.

Rob Williams dropped a wide open dunk that could have put the Aggies ahead midway through the second half. Instead Arkansas took the turnover back for points of their own. Another turnover on the ensuing possession and a potential one point lead had become a 6 point deficit.

When the faces change but the sloppiness remains it's the coach.

When you have been reading the same threads for six years, I think it's time to cut ties.

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

Because, and this goes back to my church comment, BK has engrained himself with a few BMAs who he goes to church with who are likely going to let him stick around as long as he wants. It shouldn't be just about firing BK. It should be about letting the AD do his job and not letting the good ole boy system that's plagued A&M forever continue to run things. We have to get smarter about contracts. There was no reason to up BK after last season. No big program is after him. There was no reason to put a 30 day payout clause in Sumlin's contract, and Childress's contract shouldn't have been upped last year either. We need much more of a cutthroat culture within our athletic department.

---

Honest question. Did you want to fire Kennedy last season? When would this firing have taken place? We know we aren't going to move on mid season so why keep reminding us how unhappy you are?

We just won our league and lost in overtime in the tournament championship game and made the sweet 16 and had the best comeback in tournament history. This season hasn't been very good but you don't get to just ignore last season when evaluating the job of the coach and you certainly don't do something stupid like firing your coach mid season.

Good point and I have already agreed he should be gone.

Last year we had the most wins in our history.
Tied the highest seed in our history
and went as far in the tournament as we had ever gone in our history.

If it wasn't #1 than it was #2 and it is in fact very close.
