My Thoughts on the Jacksonville Debacle

.because we are SMU and nothing comes easy.

Aint that the truth, at least w regard to athletics.

I was talking over the game w/a parent the other day, who understands the game, astute guy, and that parent said look at the box. They don't shoot FTs & turn the ball over. Giving away opportunities, and not taking advantage of your own freebies, is a loss waiting to happen.

He then went on to say FTs & carelessness aren't on Doh, Crum is open 24/7 to the guys. Not enough time in practice to cover mental lapses and FTs. A some point, its on the kids to execute what they are taught. We're quite young, and it's clear we have two kids we've been waiting on. Neither are world-beaters right now, but both are starters for sure. Just find the rotation, and we'll see if we can catch some chemistry. Not down on the players at all, especially the kids. I just want to see us play a cohesive 20 minutes of hoops, much less 40

the "sterile" atmosphere is no excuse...the team played pooly against a team with a losing record...that is not improvement....we have some really improved talent and doh has earned this year...but no more...enough is enough....jones can be happy our attention has been shifted to bb....i was there....i saw a crappy game....doh makes too much noise...he needs to take something to calm down...those kids,they are young,are probaly more nervous as a result of the constant noise from doh...his assistant,whose name i dont know, shows the poise expected...as least he has stopped stomping his foot (which he did because he can not whistle)...

but these are the guys that doh recruited and he is the coach....so it is on him....remember when he first got here he took credit for "coaching up" Ike......and now what ?

Those of us that put our money where our mouth is support Coach Doh and we are almost there.

Then you've got a lot more money than sense. You've been had.
