Right. The bigger issues are a lack of consistent offense and a defense that was exposed weeks ago that is now a gaping open wound, despite Numbers extolling at the time that it was the right defensive system because of #stats.
I went into this season saying I thought he would get us in the tournament this year or next year but I am starting to doubt he can ever get us over the hump. He will certainly get the chance next year if he can't this one. To be clear, I like Forbes and want him to succeed.
Are you saying Parker is a defensive liability?
Yes. At the very least, he is not a plus on defense. He doesn't have the strength or the speed to guard ballhandlers.
I have to agree. You guys are such fucking idiots if you can't understand that NOTHING matters more for winning games on the road than the quality of your home arena which has a great home court advantage. Until you unsuccessful losers understand this, we are DESTINED to lose road games forever.
You have to have it all. NIL money and a united fan base pulling in same direction as well. Right now we have a B coach and the other 3 factors are D at best.
How do you reconcile our home record vs. road struggles over the past couple of years with prioritizing a new arena?
The arena rarely impacts the games. That’s never been the argument. It’s the recruiting. We can only really get foreigners and transfers for that reason. High school kids want money and atmosphere. We have neither to offer.
So here’s the deal with hoping for success next season, we need to keep some of our best players! We need at least 2/3 of Sallis, Miller, Reid to stay. If we lose all those dudes to transfer/pro then we won’t make the tourney next year, and with how frequently rosters turnover now, it’s hard to believe we will keep these dudes.
