Interesting Doh Quote
This from the Daily Campus...wish the reporter would have followed up. Any ideas what this pertains to?
“We’re not in a quick fix situation,” Doherty said about the improvements he is seeing among his players. “This program has been under water for a long time and I think people would admit that. I want to build for sustained success and there’s some things still in the infrastructure that need to be fixed.”

Coach under water BS.
Re: Interesting Doh Quote
I think he's starting to sound like PB in his last year. PB started out w/ "we'll be in the living room and go up against A&M etc"...and then "if we can get them on campus we have a shot at them" and that morphed into "all my coaching friends warned me not to take this job."
For the first half at least, Doh seemed suspiciously passive...I wondered whether he'd thrown in the towel or was trying to exercise some restraint. The second half brought more of the Doh we're all used to.

Yeah, not sure what "infrastructure" is holding us back.
He mentioned poor fan support, the UTEP game in particular, soon after that.

The "pipeline" from Texas high schools to SMU doesn't exist.

BCG would fix that.

This is the refrain from the SMU coaching swan song that we all know so well. Might as well bring on Oscar because this is the equivalent of the fat lady singing.
Maybe Doh ran into BG in the hallway as he was heading to Orsini's office for an interview...

He may try and fix that, but BCG is used to recruiting a totally different type of student(being generous).
Whether you guys believe it or not, we still have admin & admission issues in hoops that many, if not most, other schools in CUSA don't have. Time and again I'm told we can't recruit legit ballers b/c of grades. BCG wouldn't be able to just scour JUCOS and diploma mills to sign kids, if they weren't living up to their end of the bargain in the classroom

Re: Interesting Doh Quote
This program is no where close to being "fixed". Our best player and top scorer is a senior, so what do you think the prospects of a winning season for next year are.
Thank you Doh for helping get the Crum Center, but a winning season, much less top 25 aren't on the horizon so it's time to move on.

We'll be better next year then this year, guarantee it. Will is having a great year looking for his own shots. Love what he's given us, and appreciate him, but bringing in a true PG will add cohesiveness. We need more passers, less kids looking to shoot

What games are you watching? I'd be happy if any of our kids looked to shoot. They all have the dear in the headlights look when they get the ball. Doh's offense is hot potato passing until we turn the ball over or the shot clock expires.

that's the beginnings of the princeton O. More passers and shooters means better looks. How bout this, name someone on our roster whose best skill is passing?

Ryan Harp?
(can't think of any other skills Harp has other than playing hard)

I have no idea what Harp does, and that's not a shot at the kid. Mook is our best passer, which is pretty odd.

Poor guy. He's a point guard in a forward's body.
