I'm no sure what more proof you need that a coaching change is needed. All the problems you laid out in your post are the same things many on here have been complaining about for YEARS. The team has no leader, whose fault is that? The team is not mentally prepared for a game. Whose fault is that? The team did not prepare during the offseason. Whose fault is that? You can cry all you want about "the way they did Andy", but dammit at some point ANDY has to freakin step up. I find it very difficult to believe that there are 0 players out there willing to come to OM and be coachable and play the game the way it's supposed to be played.rebeljim wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2018 2:10 pm If we lose this one, I'm probably through going to the games this year, will watch on tv.

Wrong, our teams in the past under Andy did have leaders. They did have go to guys. According to our preseason predictions every year, we over achieve EVERY year under Andy. I haven't checked, but I don't think we've ever entered conference play with 5 losses during AK. This team is completely different than any of Andy's other teams. Guess it's his fault our team suddenly forgot how to shoot free throws. But our administration needs to hear the speech Coach West gave the tiger high administration about their football program when he left, about our basketball program. They need to get behind the staff, whoever that may be, and try and give it what it needs. We go on about how Luke needs to get the best assistants for our football program, for recruiting and all. Well, we need to put money into our basketball program, instead of being DEAD last in money going to coaches. We also need some big money boosters, something we have very little of. There's a reason why Andy is the only coach with a winning record at our school in basketball. And I will still say if he had the help and support from our crappy administration, he could lift our program higher than it is now. Course, we'll never see how true that is. Good luck with the new coach. I'll be watching on tv.rebelbear wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2018 3:30 pmI'm no sure what more proof you need that a coaching change is needed.

We're not going to the tourney now. So you are going to boycott Ole Miss basketball now b/c they fire a guy that's not great, but doesn't suck?rebeljim wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2018 11:18 pm Have always complained about the administration, nothing else as for as helping our program.The fans have nothing to do with wins and losses, at least not much. Have argued with yall on here about AK, but that has norhing to do with winning. Have always complained about that the lack of support basketball gets from our administration. And that's unfortunately still true. I'll start going to games again after they show me they're going to the tourney with the new hire, not until. My 2 tickets won't hurt Ole Miss. But I don't have to like what's being done, and have the right to stay home and watch on tv. I think there's a really good chance we fall back once the new coach gets here. Don't have any confidence in our administration, which I'm sure u can guess by now. Think our chancellor is as sorry as u can get. But one of u AK haters can have my tickets next year. I'll watch it on the tellie.
When u say supporter, hope that doesn't include big money booster, cause that I'm not. I go to 5-8 games a year, dependng on how many weekend home games we play. I said I could change my mind once next season gets here. But right now I'm *beep* on not giving him a chance to recruit to the Pavilion. We aren't gonna agree on this, and that's cool. But right now I'm figuring this Saturday will be my last for ever how long, unless I go to another one this year, maybe senior night.lewindha wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2018 10:22 amWe're not going to the tourney now.

So, you've been a huge basketball supporter for years despite NOT going to the tourney. But, now you're boycotting them until they can make the tourney with a new hire?
