FUCK YOU, RON WELLMAN

This thread is getting dangerously close to being on page 2.

Bump.

No but it is the fact that we are never on the real ESPN and relegated to only the computer version of ESPN3 to get our exposure. Of course the way we choked at end game opportunities we may not have wanted anybody to see us play in real life and only catch us on a tweeter version of some kind. Hopefully the real world cannot see us till we get better.
 
Unless they are opponent fan, and then Of course they wanna tune in for the beat down but even that is probably boring for them by now
 
looks like this has not been bumped for a few days.

Thanks Nathan.
 
Would love to hear an announcement in the near future that Ronnie is hanging it up.
 
By the way, this is good PR (and I hate Alford/Guerrero almost as much as I hated [name redacted]/Wellman). Alford emailed UCLA students/alumni with this message apologizing for UCLA's shit season earlier this week:

Dear UCLA Family, Friends, Alumni and Supporters,

Since leaving the locker room in Las Vegas, I've spent countless hours dissecting our program, evaluating our staff, meeting with our young men and breaking down game film to address our struggles and begin the process of improving as a team.

I know none of that makes the ending to our season any better or changes how we all feel about our year, but constant review and improvement is imperative in my job - a job that I take extremely seriously and one that's an absolute privilege to hold.

The fact remains that no matter how much time passes, the way we finished this past season will eat at me for a long, long time. Our record speaks for itself and is simply unacceptable. There's nothing that I can say or write that will change that fact. This happened under my watch, it begins and it ends with me. The buck stops here.

Because of this, I let Dan Guerrero know that I wanted to return the one-year contract extension I received after the 2013-14 season. This request has since been processed. At the end of the day, year three was clearly not up to UCLA standards. My coaching staff and I fell short not only of our own expectations, but the expectations of Dan, the Chancellor and you, our fans. As a coaching staff, we intend to earn that extension back.

This has been a difficult time, there's no doubt about that. Difficult times, however, build resolve.

It's easy to just say we'll be better next year. We're excited to prove it, and that begins now. Over the course of my career, teams that I've led have owned, on average, a defensive rank in the top 50. This year we ranked outside the top 100. This can never happen again. We must return to the basics and instill defensive fundamentals in our young men from day one of permissible workouts.

While our returning letter-winners are upset about this past year and can't wait to work on their games with our coaches over the next few months, on June 20th, they will be pushed even harder with the arrival of our new class in Westwood. There will be fierce competition in both the backcourt and frontcourt this offseason, which not only accelerates growth, it builds character.

While I don't expect this letter to change any opinions or take away the pain from this difficult season, I do hope it reflects my commitment to UCLA and shows that we will address areas in which we fell short.

At this point, it's well documented that basketball is my life. I came to UCLA to experience the pinnacle of the sport. I wanted to bring my passion for this game to the place where the game itself was ultimately taken to unprecedented levels of grace, dignity and success. In the process, it's become my home.

I hope you'll continue to support our fine young men that will be working this offseason to get better as well as the new class of young men coming here this summer, eager to experience everything that is great about UCLA. I know our entire program is already looking forward to future successes.

Thank you, and Go Bruins!

Take some notes, Wake AD.
 
Well, for one thing Alford is a coherent guy (Coach Knight probably made him go to real classes at Indiana), whereas Wellman and [Redacted] are completely incoherent. Alford wants to win and feels responsibility to the fans, when he does not win sufficiently. Wellman and [Redacted] just collect salaries and avoid fans as much as possible, if not entirely.
 
Just watched One Shining Moment. For the 6th consecutive year, no Wake Forest.

Fuck you, Ron Wellman.
 
Back in the day, I used to watch One Shining Moment and imagine Wake winning the championship. Now I can't even imagine Wake in the tournament.
 
On the day following a small, private, academically focused school with religious ties winning the NC, this thread has never been more appropriate.
 
ronnie is content with historically compe... ahh F U ronnie.

This. So much this. Making a bowl in football is success at Wake, but there's no reason why we can't be good in basketball. The idea of Wake winning a national championship in basketball, or at least winning the (now pumped up) ACC, is incredibly difficult but not crazy.
