We no longer have a team....just a bunch of individuals that seem to resent each other.

It's tough when you have the freshmen looking at CT and Fatts getting the minutes and sucking big time...and thinking why aren't WE out there more?

I thought our guys looked as loose and happy and energized as I’ve seen them in a month. Not sure what you were looking at. Who knows if it will matter, but I was encouraged.

Tough few minutes there with some mistakes and back to standing around on offense, but they're still in it.

I know we are down a few points right now but the intensity is night and day. If they play this hard the whole way through I don't care if they win or lose.

We are not playing appreciably better but this is what it looks like when you still put some effort in. It isn’t a thing of beauty but if you compete you can stay in these games. The crowd seems to appreciate it.

Should be interesting to see how they come out of the half after that ending. The energy was pretty good the first half.

The disappointing part of this for me is that it should be a huge advantage for us, especially against a team like Davidson. Unfortunately it hasn't mattered much so far.

LOL. I do about 3 stories a day on my account, I cannot knock anyone for theirs ever. Only IG behavior that PEEVES me is when people add an ENTIRE CONCERT to their story. OMG!
My one problem is that I'm yet to see a story of his from the inside of the gym.

I feel like a certain other coach would be having this discussion with him, but it doesn't seem like this coach has the buy-in from his players, or a team focus to get these guys to go the extra mile.

I never saw any of Hurley's teams this active on social media during the season.
I've made it fairly clear that I'm on Team Cox here and defend him because I feel like people unfairly lump 100% of the blame onto him while not holding the players accountable to an extent as well.

This, right here, is a very fair criticism of Cox. I honestly just don't think Cox has figured out how to deal with 18/19 year olds from the #1 chair on the bench. Much like in baseball, the manager would be the drill sergeant and the bench coach would come in and be the players' buddy and listen to their complaining about the manager. That's how I feel the relationship with the players was like under Hurley. Hurley would be a hard ass and lay into them, and then Cox could be there to play "good cop." Cox hasn't learned to adjust and change the dynamic.

I know you've been reasonable with your criticism by saying he should get next year to prove whether or not he has it in him to make the necessary changes. I'm with you on that one.

When I mention holding the players accountable too, what I mean in this case is: why does Fatts need to be pressured into hitting the gym? How does he not have the pride in himself? How is he not embarrassed at how bad he looks in games to want to go shoot a million shots each day to work through his mechanics? I'm as mad at Cox as I am at Fatts for this. When I have one bad day at the office, it haunts me for weeks. He seems to just be so apathetic towards it all.

I feel like I went on one of your long-winded rants. Now I see why you post them - this felt good, felt cathartic to type this out.
Catharsis is the key Kyle. This board is the jekyl to my Hyde. If I didn’t have it I’d have died of a pulmonary embolism by now.

So I thank everyone for putting up with them because it allows me to keep sane.

On another note - does Dave Cox hate Jeff Dowtin or just think he’s better as a 2 guard?

You legit have a guy who could be a top 10 PG on this team next year and you refuse to let him play the point.

That is the single handed biggest on court problem this year. You are trying to force your stud PG to be a 2 guard and hurting the team in the process.

He even had him off the ball when Fatts was sitting and Siberia was handling the point...who is in the game to do one thing only - spot up to shoot.
