Re: Archeobracketology

The matchups are actually pretty favorable, but I am not sure this team has the heart to put up one last stand...

I think one man could give this team that heart between now and then. But as you mentioned in another thread, he's checked out for this season.

I would wholeheartedly agree with you, sir!

Its so easy for you guys to say these things about EC yet apparently everyone else is giving it their all? Face it you honestly have no clue whether or not he has or whether or not anyone else has for that matter.

I'm sick of the fricking hypocrites on this board who will gladly rip into a player (who, scholarship aside, makes no money to do what he does) and yet jump all over anyone who has the audacity to question the coaching decisions of a coach who makes more $$ than most of us on this board ever will and VOLUNTEERED to take a position that is always going to be scrutinized.

Hey Pot, I mean, BC, there is the Kettle over here I'd like you to meet.

He's probably not alone in that department. But, IMO, if he was playing with his full focus and desire right now, everyone else would be too.

Re: Archeobracketology

When your 'leader' who has been a double double machine for two years and a scorer for three years is only managing single digit points and throwing up horrible lazy shots from 13 feet because he is not giving the effort to get position on the block, I think its pretty obvious.

When a guy like that checks out, the young guys have no one to latch on to, pull energy from, and gain confidence through. I am fully willing to admit that there have been coaching mistakes, but when your 'leader' doesn't come to play it makes success impossible, IMO...

Re: Archeobracketology

We should try benching coleman for a game and see if that will light a fire under his caboose

Maybe Griff could shoot him a Facebook message and tell him that he has "made this season’s game day experience absolutely worthless."

When your coach set him up for failure from Day One this season, its hard for me to buy into the fact that this is all on him.

I also dont agree that he has "checked out". Do you realize how frustrating it is to be a big when your backcourt has no idea how to get you the ball? Also, has it occurred to you that most teams have one thing to key on against us... stop EC (or JE)... everything else breaks down from there.

Again, rip EC all you want, that's fine (even if I dont agree), but dont ever, ever, ever ridicule someone for ripping on the coach then. You can't have it both ways.

Re: Archeobracketology

I would agree with your statement about not having guards to get him the ball consistently. That is definitely a fair point. I just wonder how different this season would have been with KA, Jones, and/or Culliver...

Re: Archeobracketology

It would have been the same, except with more players to blame...

why do that when i can just walk right next door and tell him to his face? Leave coleman alone man, the entire team is having problems not just him.
