Lots of folks are saying lots of different things we should or shouldn't do with our bball program. Without telling another theyre crazy for thinking one thing or another can yall please state your solution to our issues and why you think itll work.
Keep howland for as long as he keeps recruiting top15 classes?
Howland gets 2-3 more yrs to get us to a sweet 16?
Fire howland this year if we dont make dance? Nit? Who can we realistically expect to come take over this program?

In all honesty there isn't one if Howland can't get it done and Kermit won't come. See my post in the other thread.

Does he need better assistants?

He's here through next year at a minimum with the class he signed. I'll let it play out before I try to solve it.

We need some SERIOUS help to somehow keep next season from turning into another shitshow. It's clear if we keep howland (which is a given at this point) he needs a lot of help from assistants to do what he should be doing....teaching fundamentals and developing an offense that is something other than a complete cluster 17.

Play 10... press and fast break as much as possible. Fast break and push the pace all game as much as possible.

We have 10 athletic players that can’t shoot but they can play d and they can finish.

With our half court offense, that's not a bad idea.

Hire coach from the mid majors that’s great at Xs and Os. Solid fundamentals and strategy can take you a good ways in basketball even without recruiting stars. Andy Kennedy has proven you can have a decent amount of success with average talent in this league.

I agree with this. But to get this accomplished it takes coaching decisions. This staff doesnt seem to be able to do this. So do we wait and see if things change or pull the plug?

Maybe you’ve never seen a Howland coached team before, but this is the exact opposite of what he has done his whole career. Howlands teams always played slower pace, low scoring games at every stop he’s been at.

It sucks watching our team, no doubt. But Howland has about 50-60% of the puzzle put together. And if doesn’t have the whole thing put together by the end of year 4, his *** better be on the hottest of seats.

Its to the point with me, if they win I don’t give a damn, lose don’t give a ****. This team is not going anywhere anytime soon as far as I can tell.

From what I’ve seen on here today the game must have sucked, glad I missed it.

From what I’ve seen on Twitter, Shane Power pointed something out that I’ve said on here multiple times....headscratchingmakingmebald

I don't think Howland is a bad coach but I would like to see him get fired up and get in our players *** when they play half *** defense. They were lazy in the second half, a bunch of lazy defensive plays that led to easy scores. You can see that our guys were way more talented but the energy left in second half. We are not as deep as we need to be either so the incoming guys will help out a lot. I believe that will help out some on the fatigue part. But even Q stated that they were too lacadasal in the second half. That's when the coach should get in a players ***. If that was Vic he would still be going off.
