You are right Goldteam......6-1 non-conference (will eventually be 10-1) with four wins against power conference teams, 0-1 in conference losing to the #16 team in the country on the road. Get rid of him!
Again....another over-reaction to an ugly four or five minute stretch. Once the evaluation was done to bring him back this year, he should be given the chance to play out the season. There are a bunch of good teams in the big ten this year. They will lose some of those games, particularly on the road. This isn't a final four team. But they aren't lining up against traffic cones. They will have good stretches and bad stretches. That's basketball. If they end up 6-14 in conference, I would likely have a different opinion. But sit back and enjoy the season.
This team needs Murphy to stay on the floor. He's not a shot blocker and shouldn't pick up stupid fouls trying to block shots. The drop-off between him and Omersa is huge right now. Curry will obviously help that problem tremendously. The point guard situation needs to be resolved. I personally would rather see more of Washington and less of Coffey running the point. I feel like two positions are weakened when Coffey runs the point. They don't need Washington to score 20 points a game. They just need him to play like Tum Tum did at Michigan State -- less shooting, more handling/distributing.
It's not the fact they lost to the 16th ranked team in the country it's how they lost that matters, overall their team defense is atrocious, Oturo has no clue on how to defend a decent center in the post, not sure they have the staff to develop him, the freshman looked lost in space on their double teaming and spacing on defense, not sure what they were trying to do on offense, lets hope there is monumental improvement or Pitino doesn't make it to the end of the season. It looks like they are going to be 0-3 to start the season, another 6-12, 7-11 season and he is history.
