    jman, I think you should apply for the job. It's more than obvious that you know more than Jake does and I really think that the program would be in better hands under your leadership...

        Well at least we are in agreement then...

          I said yesterday, I'm not done with him "quite yet". Kwadzo and Reed's injuries were unexpected and changed the outlook of this team a lot. Young kids were forced to play big roles. Hopefully they've learned from it.

          A lot of the things I don't like about Jake are very workable. Substitution patterns, offense, etc. I just hope he learns from them. Right now, can you honestly say he has? He's not consistent at all.

            I would tend to agree with some of your statements there and I think he is trying at this point.

            He switched to a motion based offense to try to make the team miss a point guard less. Jake is a very very intelligent guy and he is learning as the year goes along. The substitution patterns I can understand at this point. It seems like most of the team is really either on or off on a given night and for the most part there is no in between.

              He showed some promise a couple weeks ago when we were running that motion offense. However the last couple games have been pure crap with hold it until we have to play Beat the Buzzer

                Yes!! I love it. Quote of the year.

                    In fact I do have kids and I do lead a team at work... Please save your preaching. The last thing I ever want to do is publicly humiliate any of them. You sound like the dirt-bag lady at the grocery store who yells at her kids so everyone can hear her...just because she can and it gives her a little power trip. If you lead your team with negative reinforcement, you breed negativity. Don't preach to me that a good public spanking does the body and soul good...it doesn't. This team has no confidence and no identity. If you refuse to identify that those are on the coach, then I don't know what to say. And if you either don't go to the games or don't see the plays / situations being discussed (staredown at end of the game), then please don't comment about what happened or why it happened.
                    P.S. the gladiator died after fighting the dictator that got off on public displays of discipline.

                        WOW, I am so sick of our team and our Coach. I will not be attending one basketball game that profits the University of Northern Iowa until Jake is fired. I am starting now. I will go the Valley tourny and root for Evansville or something. Maybe I will become like Randy Quaid in Major League II and be the heckler. Anything but waste any more time rooting for this losing battle.

                          Eric is a fun loving kind of guy. It shouldn't be too hard to get a guy like that, the best athlete and senior leader we had, in your corner. Jake had something against him from the start of the season and it's all blown up now.

                          UNI had a great athlete in Eric but instead, complained his entire career about how good he "could be". Embrace the positives that come with him and guess what, he'll play with heart and become coachable. Play games with him, staring contests for example, and you won't get anywhere.

                            Why do their players seem to rain the 3 balls and we cant seem to hit them ? its not like our players arnt wide open some times

                              He was like that before this season, its plain as day to see , he only wants to give a effort when he wants to

                                Agreed 01-

                                EC plays for EC and thats it. Look at the stats. He passed Stout in rebounds, Sieverding in points and has now checked out.
