Who did we beat and how did we beat them? How close were the other games? How well were the teams prepared? Iow, telling me we went 3-3 doesn't really mean anything more than we didn't have a complete disaster.

Yeah, 3-3 to end the season would be pretty good but not terribly surprising. The how would be a much bigger deal.

Just different approaches, but I wouldn't fire a coach unless I'm pretty certain I'm getting a better coach.

I think there's good candidates out there, I just disagree that the list is as deep as you think it is. But I would assume that given our resources and history, we would be able to get a good coach.

The irony in all this is that I'm on a committee to hire a national team coach...joining in as damage control. Our Federation fired a coach but now they're struggling to get a replacement who's better.

Aren't you a professional high level basketball coach?

At this point I think the what is more is importance than the how.

Now that you are consulting on the hire, why not pull a Dick Cheney and recommend yourself?
 
Haha...that's one thing I thought the conspiracy theorists in our ecosystem would bring up.

That's for a job with the U20 women's team which has a competition in July.
I coach on the men's side and aside from a brief stint as an assistant, I'm not too involved with the women's side (which is why I'm a perfect member for that committee). The guy who was coaching that team is a good coach who likes to smoke weed and has a history of getting involved with is female players. Our former federation president hired him despite these derailers. Some of the player's families complained after the last competition.

If UNC can pull off a 3-3 through to the end then I'd say you'd have to tip your hat to coaching because strategy (and player gutsiness) is the only way such a thing happens. The next six games were going to be a gauntlet WITH Caleb Wilson.

At State college Tuesday 2/17, at Syracuse Saturday 2/21, Louisville Monday 2/23, Virginia Tech Saturday 2/28, Clemson Tuesday 3/3, and at dook Saturday 3/7

2-1 at home, 1-2 on the road maybe.
 
I have been educated to the fact that wins and losses don't matter. I just hope we don't have any horrible wins like we did against the Cuse.

Coach Davis just needs to tell the team that how it plays possession to possession is what matters and not whether it actually wins the game because it's all about metrics.
Coach Davis needs to make the message simple : It's not whether you win or lose but how you play the game:)
 
If Hubert can keep them playing with intensity on D for 40 minutes and protect the ball on O, just those two things as the lynchpin, I’ll tip my hat regardless of how we shoot or the results. The urgency against Pitt was the thing I was happiest about.

Yea. We came out ready to play and without Caleb and Vesscar. One thing this team has been consistently good at is protecting ball. Four TOs yesterday. I think we average 9 a game.
