22 turnovers and 25 fouls. That's never going to get the job done.
He picked up his fourth early in the second halfWhat is wrong with Jose? Is he hurt or something? He hasn’t tried to drive with ball the entire game. Looks hesitant to shoot, and has played extremely passive on defense.
That would require our AD actually cared about BBDuring the off-season, Pastner should be forced to hire somebody that can come in here and teach offense...and by offense, I mean dribbling, passing, FT shooting, etc....you know, fundamental **** we just royally suck at

Devoe is not a grest ball handler. Just not his strength. He is a shooter and can drive one on one but not in traffic. Not sure we are being coached to our strengths and away from weaknesses. Partner does not seem to sub late in the games for offense possession and defense possession on stopped play. Should have put Parham or price in for offense and a non starter to foul. Then sub back for offense. Valvano was a master at it. Dean Smith as well.Devoe just needs to sit on the wing and shoot it 15 times a game. 8 turnovers for him is ridiculous
It would be nice if the AD said something about the basketball program.That would require our AD actually cared about BB
We should play faster, as a whole, but for some reason we love to “grind it out” on O.Devoe and Parham need to know it's not only ok to shoot from 3 feet beyond the arc, but it's arguably our best offense. They both continue to pass up step in 3's with no one close enough to contest. They are more than capable, and it'll open up driving lanes and the rest of the offense. I don't care if it's 8 seconds into the shot clock.

That sounds fine, Id like to actually hear him say that.He'd likely say that despite the challenges (TOs, etc.), the team is playing hard for Coach Pastner and improving in many ways, even if it's not the W/L record. He'd follow that up with a statement that we have a lot of production coming back next year with some good recruits and we need to see get old/stay old play out.
That's what I think he'd say.
Then he'd get back to work improving the football infrastructure and wrapping up the AI 2020 fundraising, while giving himself a year to put a plan in motion to potentially (likely) replace Pastner after next season.
Wow, 48 percent shooting, 37 percent from 3, out rebound them, lose by 9. Whew
You might be onto something here..Could we use that same guy after the season starts to do the recruiting?During the off-season, Pastner should be forced to hire somebody that can come in here and teach offense...and by offense, I mean dribbling, passing, FT shooting, etc....you know, fundamental **** we just royally suck at
