willie- every post is the same. Lavin- didn't recruit or coach. He left the team in awful shape.
Mullin does everything right, he is the savior, even when he loses its the Lavins fault. Or the no name team with no name players are better then we think but it's Lavins fault anyway.
you have done that in 355 posts now. I assume you will be doing that next year . When we win, Mullin will be god. When we lose it was Lavin.
Google some of the results from last year . We weren't that bad. Some of those awful players in the last 5 years had some decent college careers . But I forgot that was Mike Dunlap.
Maybe Felix wasn't that good. He wasn't recuited that high. Gods gift was never good. Branch was most likely over rated but in my opinion was better then he even thought . If he played more confident he would have played better.
Pointer's best position was PF- he kind of looked good last year.
Every post is the same? In the ten months I've been here I have made just a handful of posts to that effect. I think you might be lumping me together with some of the Lavin bashers on this board. I actually liked Lavin, but just did not see any development, and then with that, he lost his ability to recruit.
I don't praise Mullin too much. Again, I think you must be confusing me with some other posters. I was against the Mullin hire and I even said that in the Alumni questionnaire. I always knew he would be good at player development and was impressed with how CJ and AA looked at the start. For three years CJ showed nothing under Lavin. Absolutely nothing. Then, this year, at the pep rally, you could see a total transformation to a D1 basketball player. Just looked so much fitter. Same thing with Amar. Mullin can motivate and x's and o's are overrated. Now if Slice and Matt can recruit, we will be good. But unless you are a cheater like Willard, that window closes quickly. So we'll see.
Lavin killed Dom his Junior year by starting Sheed, for some unknown reason, and cutting Dom's minutes. If he didn't do that, we would not have missed the tourney. Greene and Harrison played well for Freshman, and so did Dom, my God. But their improvement, come on, was very minimal. Look at CO. Lazy prima donna that Lav enabled. And how about the players who regressed like Gift, who was showing progress under Dunlap, and then just died under Lavin.
How could a group like what he had not make the tourney but for one year? And not win any post season games, always flaming out in the end, after saying our goal is to be playing our best at the end of the year. Come on, you saw this comedy play out every year the same way I did. I have actually exercised great restraint in refraining from criticizing Lavin but you just got me going. Don't lump me in with other posters because I have shown great restraint. I'm done with this issue.
