Hey I just came out of the locker room at half and these guys said they'd rather play on Snapchat than play the rest of this game...

That is kind of a HUGE part of coaching. If u r a coach with a very specific style, part of ur tactics and game plan involves having kids that fit the style and can pyhisically do what is needed. Hence Jimmy poo at Syracuse. U don't see him recruiting short wings for his specific zone. U gotta have the right pieces. Period.

I'll say it again, if one of the other big time gigs were to have gotten Archie, he'd be making us all go, "damn that guy can coach!" He WILL do the same here. It really is as simple as personnel right now. Yep, as simple as that.

I agree with u, I really do. I just worry that Glass questions Archie when he starts that. But I do agree. If u don't wanna play...move on.

Agreed

I know we cant beat kids! Thats my point! I legitimately wanted to hear views on what everyone thinks can be done to change effort and attitude. I personally doubt the starters would even care if they sat. They looked like they wanted to anyway.

See I watch that, and I don't see a crap game plan defensively. I see overhelping and a lazy effort to get to the shooter. That isnt on Archie.

In no way do I think this loss was ok or fine. My point is sometimes there is only so much a coach can do with a group of kids who seem more interested in playing video games than winning a ball game. This isnt 1950 where u can beat on a kid to get ur point across so hence my question....what can a coach do with kids who have had 2 coaches that they don't wanna give tough effort for?

So Crean couldn't get these guys to act engaged and now it seems Archie is struggling with same group. I'd like to hear what adustments a coach can make to get a group of guys to play any different than they have for 2 different coaches already.

I'm personally thrilled all to hell that we got Archie before any other big time gig opened up and took his services. He will win here and win a lot. Not concerned at all.

This system is obviously predicated around length and athleticism. Theoretically the opposing team will have a tough time getting off shots when we have those players in place. I'm still confident Archie gets his guys, WE get wins.

Honestly from what ive watched, u could give this team to Coach K and they wouldn't make the tournament. Im being serious unfortunately.

I've said it before, this team does not have the killer instinct. U can't bring it one game out of every 5 games u play and consider yourselves killers. That one game u brought it just means u musta got good sleep the night before. This team gives the impression theyd rather get the game over and head home to play video games and drink chocolate milk.

I'm just sittin here biting the inside of my cheek trying to find a reason to not throw the remote through my tv.

Definitely showing our FCTC guard play with refusing to put it in to the bigs 9 times outta 10. We suck at 3's so maximize what we have which is inside play!

Time for Juwan to score 20 of our next 25 and put us on his back i guess.

Totally agree this is not what Archie brings in in the future.

We all know this team is Jekyll and Hyde. Just get the dang win even if it's ugly and by 1pt and lets move on. At this point thats all i want is a win. Im not worried about by how many anymore. Smh.

Remember that one time in 1987 when we won a championship? That was nice.

If ur gonna look bad, quit doing it in this building. I hate looking awful at home. It's a sacred place darn it!

Just do us all a solid and commit. Start the change TJD!

Kids stroke reminds me of Brian Evans. I'd say we could use someone of that mold.

A good coach gets his players to buy in regardless of the talent level. To me it is BLATANTLY obvious we keep getting better and the kids r doing just that....buying in. All the recruiting stuff aside, Archie is doing his job on the coaching front. Future recruits will see his passion. They'll come!

I don't see GREAT team by no means but i truly do feel we could win quite a bit like others have said if we had a shooter or two. To me the changes r positive which means Archie is doing some great coaching. Unfortunately he himself can't go shoot shots for us and that is what's missing.
