The Curious Case Of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

You seem to be lost.

 

There's no point in obsessing about the past I suppose but one must admit that part of what makes coaches great is the luck factor. If Cam Newton doesn't steal a laptop do we continue our run of success in football? I don't think there's anything wrong with what White has accomplished here given the circumstances.

The End.

 

I'm not cemented on either side, that's the way it should be for every fan. He's been through so many ups and downs that I can't definitively say whether he's the guy or not and it'd be premature to make that decision. Last game for example he takes out Tre Mann with 7 minutes in the half, and I knew the second he made that choice that the wheels would fall off. His overly cautious coaching style has bit us time and time again so it's rather predictable. Had we lost I think I'd be tuned out right now, convinced that this is going nowhere. With that said, he's young and replacing a legend so I encourage our fans to give him some rope. But if he uses that rope to hang himself I really can't pretend like he's our guy just to have a positive "through all kinds of weather" fan and to not offend anyone here. Just like every profession, you either get the job done or you don't. Every season that we aren't improving the fan support, staff, or player personnel that's a bad season to me. I've been thinking that for him to stay put, he should be hitting .500 or better for good seasons considering this is not a basketball school and our fans don't deserve an elite team.
'15-'16 sorry but NIT is a bad season considering the athletes we had
'16-'17 great season - Mike's best to date
'17-'18 fans skyrocketed their expectations despite us having no inside presence (which I was downvoted to eternity for) - still a solid season but has to rank as a bad season because it doesn't meet the 3 criteria listed above
'18-'19 pretty bad season and turned a lot of fans away from the program despite making the tournament, physically dominated by Michigan to end the season
'19-'20 lofty expectations again, another letdown as it seemed like the players weren't fitting the system
'20-'21 despite the bad losses I think so far this is a good season. players more engaged and seem to be gritty, that'll get my support
So with that said I think he still has a ways to go to gain my support. The key seasons are ahead. Like I said I'm not on either side of the fence and can see both sides of the argument. But you could say I'm leaning on the side of the fence that disapproves of the job he's done.

 

Meaning 3 tournament appearances in a row is nice if you're playing by the rules while other programs bend them.

 

Sorry let me clarify. Him not swearing in HS was me saying he's not going to do anything against the rules, and my personal experience with him 18 years ago is my evidence. I could draw you a cartoon if that'd help you understand better.

 

Right, thanks for vomiting on the thread. He's not a 90s white Duke player nor a major needle mover. He could've helped us make a deep tournament run when we were instead giving 20 minutes to Okauru.

 

The kid was in the 2017 class. You’re talking like you have to trade him for Chiozza, what in the world are you rambling on about Chiozza for? It’s not a complicated subject nor should it offend anyone. It’s about a recruit we held for a year before UK took him like a hawk takes a baby bird from some other bird’s nest. The mother doesn’t go “actually I’m more than fine because my other bird went on to have a good life and memories you see, that bird wasn’t important to me anyway.“

 

You’re the only one still commenting on the thread bud.
