One player shouldn’t determine this decision.
What makes you think anyone's making a decision? Unless by decision you mean the fever dreams of the perpetually disgruntled.
Even if anyone were considering making a coaching change, and no one is, do you think the university can afford Slice's contract and Mullin's buy out and the cost of a new coach and the loss of revenue from big donors who are willing to support their childhood idol Chris Mullin but not the great Will Brown? I Don't. I think though they can absorb the loss of concession stand revenue from 11 people who won't renew their season tickets next year to protest this year's results.
Hey foady,
Figured you were going to concede or banish yourself. 8- almost 40
Concede what stupid, I've suffered through much worse than this. The fact that you're gloating after watching those poor kids lose the way they did yesterday comprises Olympic gold medal faaggottry. Maybe if you didn't post so much from the toilet less of your output would be shit posts. Just a thought.
<Take that auto censor>
Foad: I was wrong. Dead wrong.
Give it a try smart guy. Practice it. Seriously.
Then, repeat after me... I’m sorry Mr.Lavin. I never liked you. I had no right to insult you while you were recovering from cancer, and after your father died. I’m a POS. That’s my excuse. It’s not a good one, but it’s why I say what I do. Maybe you weren’t the perennial tournament coach you were at UCLA but you made us relevant again.
And you showed that having a passion for your job combined with understanding your strengths and weaknesses will lead to positive results.
I'm confused. The thing you repeat every post is about how lazy this staff was in the summer by not bringing in a complete roster. That's actually a legitimate gripe. But yet in Steve Lavin's 5th and final season here he only had 6 playable guys on the roster yet you say he had a passion for his job.
That was a risk as well. Part of the reason he was canned was his inability to control his own program. Still, he made the tournament in his last season. That team was light in bodies but deep in experience. Until they met San Diego State, Lavin and his staff made it work. Like in 99-00 they didn’t have depth but they had seniors.
Maybe Lavin stopped working as hard once he saw that the University wasn’t going to give him a contract. He made plenty of mistakes, but I keep hearing that he can’t coach. If making the NCAA or NIT in 4/5 seasons isn’t enough to be considered able to coach. What does 0-3 in 3 seasons make you? When it was Norm Roberts, it made HIM incompetent. Not his staff. When it’s Chris Mullin, it’s the fault of his staff and we need to replace one or more people on the staff.
I take issue with the obvious double standard.
