We would have likely finished just as bad if Mack was coaching, but regardless just because a bad hire was made doesn't mean we should keep under performing coaches because it could be worse.
Reading the tea leaves sure seems like HD will be back next year unfortunately. Tons of work to do in the portal so who knows how the roster will shake out. However with no impact freshmen coming in we desperately will need playmakers. Dixon starting at PG doesn't seem great.
Rell has basically stated Mingo will not be a starter (barring a horrible portal haul) and the fan base will need to have patience with him. Lots of potential though so hopefully he can maximize it.
Assuming HD is back next year there is a ton of work to do in the portal,.especially if HV leaves. Hopefully the back channeling has begun, like we did with Henri last year.
I watched very little of the second half and just had the radio broadcast on. TH said it multiple times in the 2nd half as well as the first. I'll take your word for it though since I did not.
Can't figure out why we weren't trying to pound the ball inside instead of counting to jack threes. This was something else TH pointed out several times and he was spot on. In fact we did it the first play of the second half and got a bucket.
