“Does something need to be done about basketball? Absolutely!”
I wouldn’t call that accepting mediocrity but calling for change.
Tell me, would you have fired Frank Martin after the 2020 season based on his and the team’s performance?
Ok Mr. McFeely, let me explain something to you. Nobody is ok with mediocrity. There are different ideas of how to achieve greatness. Your way is not the only way no matter how strongly you feel about it.
if you are not calling for an Athletic Director change at South Carolina you are accepting mediocrity. Full stop.
Well I am not paid millions of dollars to make these decisions but I think I would have pulled the plug after the 18/19 season. We were two years removed from the Final Four, should have been seeing dividends from that run in recruiting and talent level and that was simply not happening. Two very mediocre years post Final Four with no rankings, no post season. We were seeing serious signs at that point that, for whatever reason, today's young players don't buy in to Martin's style/system.
So, you said something needs to be done about Carolina basketball. What do you think that something is?
Not sure how many folks realize it but this could be the worst record for a Carolina basketball team in 62 years.......since 1959. And this from a team that Martin himself said he liked very much going into the season.
Oh so you would have fired Frank Martin after going 11-7 in the SEC and when AJ, Keyshawn, and Jermaine were freshmen?
One of the reasons Tanner makes $1 million per year.
Past performance is a pretty good indicator of future performance. Especially for veteran coaches like Frank Martin.
You'd fire a coach 2 years removed from a Final Four? WOW!!! I wasn't a FM fan when he was hired, but I'm also not stupid enough to call for his firing 2 years after a Final Four. If we had done that, we'd be lucky to get Horn...much less anyone worth a damn. You'd be shopping the HS and AAU circuits for a coach.
The writing is in the wall. Open your eyes. Next year, the year after that, and the year even after that won’t matter. Martin cannot recruit players to play his style of BB. He is OK as a coach. Ray is clueless. What a sorry mix.
They were part of the same class but Couisnard did not play as a freshman. But your point is well taken. That was a lot of potential talent - then you add Leveque, Frink, Hannibal and McCreary and you have to be thinking tournament.
Even with just 5 wins Frank should get another year to straighten this out. But if we have another losing season next year then a change has to be made.
Yes, the same fans that fought to the bitter end to keep Muschamp are now calling him the worst coach. Fickleness thy name is ...
Mediocrity is not only accepted, it is celebrated. The defense of these under-performing million dollar coaches is stupefying. Meanwhile the same posters will beat up on the players and protect the coaches.
I give no recognition to NIT berths. They are the mark of inadequacy and failure. They are acceptable only at the end of a coach's first season, when he has inherited a disaster.
I agree. And not only the defense of the coaching mediocrity but the blind defense of the athletic director that oversees and is ultimately accountable for it all is mind blowing.
Yes. And any AD that would have made that decision would have been proven correct over time. How many years later are we now and no top 25 rankings, no post-season tournaments. the fanbase in total apathy. The program is in bad shape. Bad.
Whatever you all it my statement about what has happened with our program since is 100% truth. Athletic directors are literally paid to not let that happen.
Two years out, who would know? Now four years removed is a different story.
Your last paragraph, are we really that bad? I can't imagine a team being worse than tha 1998-99 outfit(8-21, 3-13 imagine how bad the record would've been without BJ).
