I side with Altman on this one. He didn't push criticism away from himself. He was very blunt about how if they thought he was the problem to get rid of him. But that doesn't mean fans not showing up isn't also a problem.

The biggest thing to learn from Hewitt is to not try to substitute job security for base pay. It's one thing to be outbid for a coach. It's another to let one walk because you are too cheap to make a good offer. The second doesn't build a good home for a successful coach.

IMO there are some possibilities, some more likely than others. To me there is 0 doubt CDS was not only identified but also reached out to prior to Pastner being fired. The timing just makes that impossible to believe otherwise for me. There are some hire that seem like such a perfect fit...

The problem with an "NBA" gut is that coaching professionals is very different than coaching college kids for a variety of reasons. While some of it would be sure to transfer over I would suspect that some of the skill would be lost without having the time investment and experience aspects that...

But wouldn't that be a part of the expectations? I would expect him to be able to keep the team together and take some advantage of the portal. Seems that was a major reason why he was hired as opposed to coaches we'd have to wait until they were out of the NCAAT to get.

Waller playing the wrong sport if he's hitting home runs like that.

To be fair, while it was a very bad decision, if he gets more oomph on that pass the game is over pretty much no matter how it turns out. Bad decision, but also bad execution of the bad decision. Made for a great march madness memory though.

In the last 11 games (11 because @ NCSU is when I felt like we started playing better even though that resulted in a loss) Kyle shot 18 for 48 which was 37.5%. For his career he's basically a 33% three point shooter which is good enough to keep defenders honest. FWIW Coleman during that...

My expectations are we are a bubble team in year one and in the NCAAT in year two. That's what the roster is set up to do if the core can be kept together and we have some success in the portal. IMO the whole point of making a quick hire, and likely a point in CDS's favor was his ability to...

This isn't even about Kelsey. Just about every name someone has mentioned makes more sense than this except the obvious joke ones or the far out candidates.

1) And we just fired an ACC CotY who took over a team projected to go winless in conference. It was still just one year, and sorry but the banner year of a coach being not making the NCAAT is a hard pill to swallow no matter how hard the job is. It would be different if he had any other...

By winner you mean one year of finishing tied for third in conference. That is significantly lower success than almost any other candidates that has been talked about seriously. Yes it's a hard job, but so were several other jobs that coaches mentioned took on and had more success at. His...

Other head coaches we were considering had obvious selling points though that Stoudamire lacks. I don't know what his is. Recruiting and NIL were mentioned so I questioned that. There's no doubt that if it happened that quick it was in the works before. But again, I don't see why we fire a...

So pure speculation rather than something he has actually proven? He could very well work out fine, but this doesn't seem like a fire on friday and hire on monday type of hire. He has answered this himself. The answer was no 6 years ago. I doubt it's any better now.

I really just don't understand this at all. If the argument is for increased NIL and recruiting, where is the basis for that based on the hire?

Not sure what ties to Atlanta ties Stoudamire so if someone could feel me in. And I know Pacific is seen as a very hard job but it'd be hard for me to get excited by someone who's college win% as head coach is 48% and conference win percentage is 42% regardless, especially since everything...

It doesn't matter beyond they have eligibility. Also, the three players who would be out of eligibility if it weren't for Covid are Howard, Sturdivant, and Terry. Terry was brought in after the rule change so it was by design, and Howard and Sturdivant were brought in when it was heavily...

And Stephens was shooting 37% from the field which was worse than a poor shooting PG who was a better rebounder, facilitator and passer. And he was the most proven of the returners while Smith is probably #5 or 6 from this year's team. That's the point. I don't know who will return next year...

We saw what Lammers was under Gregory. We don't have to guess. He averaged 3.6 ppg and 4 rpg. Jackson was a 4.7 ppg. Stephens was 5 ppg and 3.8 ppg. Okogie was a 3* solid recruit. None of them were proven in any way prior to Pastner getting here. Stephens was the most proven of the lot...

Go back and look at what the roster Pastner had his first year had done prior to him taking over. You're comparing what Lammers and Okogie would become after Pastner's influence, not what he inherited.
