Fire Boals!?!?

Posted: 11/24/2024 10:05:52 PM

That Myrtle Beach tournament was an absolute embarrassment. All 5 teams that finished ahead of Ohio are God awful programs. Not to mention the beat downs to JMU, ISU, and Memphis, that were all winnable games for a halfway decent team. I’m done with the Boals experiment. DONE!!!

Agreed. Let’s tear down the Convo too. Just play games in Ping.

And I thought it was weird when Alan Swank, 695, and other wannabes harped on the O Zone during the Sweet 16 season....

Since 2020, OU is 46-25 in MAC play. 1-1 in the NCAA Tournament.

John Groce is 52-22. 0-2 in the NCAA Tournament.

Kowalcyzk wins all the time, but is frequently bounced in the first round of the NIT.

We're not even entertaining this because of a few losses in Myrtle Beach in November.

Call me in March if this campaign continues this way. Until then I'm not worried.

That said, if there's one thing that needs priority emphasis in recruiting down the road is definitely some form of a big man. Trying to win Golden State style only works for so long, but when you aren't shooting like the Warriors, you tend to open yourself to tip drills on the glass and look like the Pistons.....

Donate money to the NIL rather than a Boals contract buyout. You'll be far better off. I assume that you already are if you have such high demands on a coach.

+1

Already there with ya and make contributions. In this day and age, NIL funds are going to be wonky. Will be very entertained to see where it goes and believe we can do it right if we're efficient. That said, gotta let the idiots blow their wads on bench warming bigs and bleed em dry once they realize that NIL is a long-game, not just a quick one off.

I still believe our guards will mesh and figure it out. It's just knowing that rebounding will be an Achilles heel all year.

don,t think we should get rid of jeff at this time. this is team is looking more and more like the 1998 team though. they have lost four games that they should've won. it is,nt that boals should be canned. it's that he needs to start recruiting bigger stronger players who can rebound better. Boals is coaching the same way larry hunter was. the difference is larry recruited players who could provide a stronger interior force. vic searls and AJ clayton are decent players but they most certainly are not of the same caliber as gary trent, curtis simmons, or patrick flomo. that is the type of player that Boals needs to recruit to address the rebound problems. and we need to work on perimeter and 3 shot D. that has always been a problem. it's a problem that showed up in game against xavier the year they won pre season Nit. xavier exploited that fully and that's what teams are doing now against us. certainly time for a change. this is 2024 not 1998 so lets gets this team playing accordingly

Larry Hunter's downfall was his inability to sign a decent point guard. Rest of the team was solid.
