I don't know if David Green has been discussed, but from what I saw, he's not playing basketball any time soon. I was in my seat at 5:10 when the team came out for shootaround. It took Green a few minutes to get from the area coming out of the locker room to the bench. He can barely walk.

Bilau and Fuchs are good bigs, in my opinion. I think he did recruit some decent players. I think under a better coach, we don't lose to teams like Brown and New Hampshire at home. Getting the best out of these players and figuring out how to utilize them is where he's seriously lacking. After Fou dominated in the first half, we should have started him and fed him in the post or elbow and see if he could stay hot.

Archie says all the right things and sounds incredibly smart when breaking down our team and our opponents, but there is a disconnect between the players. I posted earlier in the second half that Archie was yelling at House. House looked pissed, and after that conversation, House seemed not to give a shit. Like House, I fear that many guys are checked out... There are murmurs regarding the entire staff's struggle to connect and effectively coach the team.

If a player quits playing hard because a coach yells at him, sorry, that's on the player, not the coach. Archie hasn't lost his knowledge of the game. He knows what his players have to do and he's coaching them to do it. They're just not doing it. If House or any other player is quitting on the team because Archie yells at him, he should transfer again. Find kids with better attitudes.
