Make it stop

Postby Hoop Fan » Sat Feb 18, 2012 5:03 pm

End this. It is beyond bad. I just wanted to to watch a basketball game today with no expectations but:

-Clinkscales starts the game. What? He has gone stretches of games without playing at all and now he is starting today?
-Cannen gets in the game before Leslie. I want Cannen to play, but now he is randomly ahead of Leslie in Doh's rotation? Makes no sense and is damaging to continuity.
- Then when Leslie gets in middway through the first half, he played 30 seconds before Doh yanked him. Literally 30 seconds. I'd transfer.
-There was constant non-sensical subbing. Just ridiculous.
-Finally, the team has obviously quit on this coach, can we end this now please and restore a shred of hope and dignity to Moody? If you are there in person, you understand.

I think new leadership is necessary.

SMU's Matt Doherty is one of the four longest tenured coaches in C-USA. He is the only one with a losing overall record.

Good observations Hoop Fan. I also noticed the guys not even listening to Doh during time outs. And, finally toward the end of the game, they just started to play ball, which resulted in some excellent passing and playmaking outside of the restrictive Princeton "Offense."

Doh does not run the Princeton. He calls it the Princeton, but that's just an insult to the Princeton

Ok. What do you call an offense where they score 12 points in a half. The dirty dozen, Offensive?

Offensive is a good choice. I've been watching this so-called "Princeton" ever since we started attempting to run it and have kept waiting for it to actually look like the Princeton. It really never has. So it's clear to me that we aren't running the Princeton.
