Lander would’ve been better off sticking around for his senior year

21% from the field. 12% from 3. 

NW Idaho Tech's B-team would beat us with those percentages 

24/7 practice facility with 15 student managers and 3 GA's. 

Crazy what could happen with all that time and resources. Are they using it properly? Maybe, maybe not. But players tend to get better when they work harder. We may never know if these guys actually work.

TJD just looks totally disinterested today -- and has from the tip.

If you were a sales manager in charge of let's say 6 people. One of your expectations was to bring on new clients consistently but none of your 6 live up to their expectation individually. Is that indicative of them more so than you or vice versa?

Only thing I add is the sales manager brought in the 6 employees himself - he’s not managing someone else’s employees.

Archie doesn’t shoot for them, but he recruits them, picks who plays, calls the plays and places them in a position to succeed or at least is supposed to. I’m an Archie fan but he’s not absolved of criticism here when his players can’t hit shots

If the fanbase didn’t piss and moan we would still have Crean. Squeaky wheel and what not 

What was said on this forum had nothing to do with Crean getting canned.  It won't be the reason Archie gets fired either.

WE HIT 40!

I love analogies. I get it, trust me, i get it. I don't have an argument for this because Archie sure does need some blame for not winning to an INDIANA level. However, our players are given all the opportunity to make these shots this afternoon. Archie isn't in control on whether or not Frank or TJD make their shots. We got great looks today.

I think we've seen dramatic improvement from Race and Al over the years. Rob's freshman and sophomore injuries have basically ruined his career. Everyone else is basically a puppy. 

 

Race yes. No one else. Al hasn't gotten better. Just more opportunity. He still disappears when needed.

This board is part of the fanbase

So it looks like I was fortunate to miss this game. While this really worries me, I will wait to see how the next few games play out to see if this is just more of a one time thing. Yes, I know the history of the last few seasons, but I’ve also stated that this team worries me in the early part of this season, so I’m going to stick to that regardless of my knee-jerk reactions.

Archie picked the players

This board was not the reason Crean got sent packing.

So we're going to blame Archie for the missed shots and free throws?

Wild how the players have 24/7 access to a state of the art practice facility. 

Weird. 

We’ve had the same problem throughout his tenure, with different players cycling in and out... “We need shooting” has been a consistent complaint and it looks like once again we don’t have any.

Didn’t say it was

He sure did! However, these players have all the resources in the world to get better on their own time. Remember Victor Oladipo? Ask him how he got better. It wasn't all Crean folks..

It's not Archie's fault they lose. It's the players. Or something like that. 

[kreigh8]

Quietest 17 points I can remember in quite awhile in CBB

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

This team is awful. 

[LamarCheeks]

OK. We stunk today and this discussion has just gotten silly. 

My pooch and I are gonna celebrate the birthday of Walton's pooch by taking a walk. It's a tad chilly here, but sunny and beautiful otherwise. 

See y'all later.
