Mr. Pitts did you open a can of worms. Monson may have been a nice guy, but what I dislike was he could not the games that counted with good players. He had to go. He was making very good money to coach or manage a mediocre program, that could have been extremely good.
I am not sold on Acker. So far his teams look disorganized and shoot pitifully. Those problems should have been corrected immediately. I do not know if he got a five year contract, but after two years like this one, he needs to go. The players I believe have performed are Askew, Dmz and Nagy. I am sure there are players on the bench who can at least not make unforced errors.
This is hand Bobby dealt us, live with it. You have no other choice.
I hope that we have not lost sight of what we all wanted for most of the last 5 years, and what we all knew what could happen if we were to change coaches. We also all knew what the portal could potentially do to last years team, at the end of the season, and that came true plus some.
Now, we are where we are!!! Let's remember that at the end of last year we all wanted a change, and realized that it might take a new coach two or even three years to turn things around and rebuild our program. Well, here we are in that coaches 1st season wondering when the miracle is going to happen. There is a very good chance that it will not happen this year, but this is our team and our new coaching staff.
In my opinion, it is time to cut them some slack, get to know our new team, and enjoy the journey of watching them grow. That growth may not be as rapid as we would like it to be, but it is all a part of going down the path that all of us wanted to go.
I remain very hopeful that our new coaching staff is a good one, and that Bobby has made a very good choice for us! But I am not sure that I have ever seen a miracle, and doubt that we will see one this season! Let's support this staff and team and enjoy seeing the transformation of our men's basketball program!!!!
Hope to see many of my fellow fans at games this season and look forward to discussing our basketball ups and downs as we go through the season (both at games and on this message board)!
