So some concerns I’m having...

No one was expecting this team to be championship caliber.  The problem is we're 1.5 years in and don't even see consistent effort, that isn't a high expectation IMO and has got to be concerning.

It's not that the team is losing causing the angst, it's how the team is losing with things that should've shown improvement and hasn't.  

Why do you think consistent effort is lacking?  It's definitely concerning.

It is redundant but I don’t know if I would say wonderful. When we had Crean it was simple is better. Now we have Archie and it’s this isn’t working play a player that failed at the NAIA level. Bringing that up doesn’t mean we are buying into anything. That is just nonsense.

Buying in to me means posters saying we shouldn't change anything, what we're doing is the way to go despite looking so awful.

I'm not advocating for Blackmon, not sure why you'd say that.  Redundant is some posters on both sides having the same predictable answer in here regardless.  I ❤ this thread

I tell ya, you guys are certainly bought in.  We not only are losing, but we look miserable in doing it.  The answer?  Stay the course.

This thread is redundant and wonderful.

Change is painful. I will wait till year four to decide whether it's working or not.

But that’s what started this convo today. Blackmon. So.... I agree both sides have very predictable answers. Haters, middle ground, and outright fanboys. That part is hilarious. Some people are so stubborn they can’t get out of their own way to bring up a reasonable solution. Just stomping their feet like a little kid. There has to be change. Somewhere somehow. Shots dropping seems to be the most needed change. How we get there? I don’t know, but I am not expecting a failed NAIA player to be that change.

Status qua is obviously the answer.

We looked so bad against Michigan i dont blame anybody for giving up or making wild ideas on how to fix the problems. Archie himself admitted on the radio he may have to look at the bench because as a coach you get caught kind of going with the guys you know have been there and may neglect someone on the bench who could help. It is concerning to me cause it tells me he hasn't got a clue what to do for sure. He seems to think it is all mental. I still pray archie can be the guy and i think he will. This is just going to be harder and take more time than I would like and some of our historic losses are quite concerning imo.

Nobody said that, but I sure as hell know bat **** crazy isn’t the answer. We just lived that with the last coach.

Ok, maybe I misread that.  What are you calling nonsense that I said then?

Hard for me to say.  I'd like to see a change in the lineup (NOT Blackmon), maybe some pine time gets through but there's so few I have any faith in.

Not what you said. The assertion from others middle Blackmon needs to play because he knocked down a 3 in a game. That was the convo going on the last page.

Yeah I would like to see Moore and Forrester split Fitzner’s minutes. I think they provide more energy.

I'd like to see them get minutes over him, for sure.  They must look borderline useless in practice or Fitzner somehow looks B1G caliber.  I don't get it.

That is another point....a lot of people don't get it.  Moore, Jake, Damezi.  Makes no sense when what you got ain't working.

I'd be happy with that.  I think having Durham in the starting lineup could help a bit to get JMo more space to operate down low and for lanes for Smith and Romeo.  I'd have Smith on a short leash if he misses rotations or doesn't closeout to a shooter properly.

Anderson has looked BAD in the minutes he's gotten.  That kind of makes sense especially when he's not hitting either.

Have you not seen what Anderson does when he gets in?  The game is moving faster than Indy cars for him right now.

Smith is one spot I'd be looking at changing.  He can be good defensively so it he couldn't be out long.

That is the same way I feel about McBob and Fitz.

Put Moore in.

At the rate this thread is growing I need an Evelyn Woods refresher course.
