1AA....."Slocum: He is what he is. I like him & am happy he is here. I wish we had more success, but MBB is at the appropriate concern level right now. It has to fall below facilities, women's sports and football. If we were able to pull in the nation's basketball best players, I would still be happy to have Slocum at the helm. In the mean time he has good fundamental coaching skills, affording us the ability to recruit untapped talent. He is also prepping a good replacement for when he does retire. Even if we hired outside, I see Slocum as being an integral part of the transition. After all ...he is a "good ole boy"."
Please tell me that is nothing but sarcasm. Look, I pay absolutely no attention to MBB because well, it SUCKS, PERIOD.
If it HAS to fall below facilities and women's sports, then why have it??
How does this program even think about pulling good players in, when the program is absolutely terrible?
Good fundamental coaching skills? Untapped talent? He loses more players than he gets. HE loses more games than he wins.
Sarcasm right? Please say yes. Because until today, I really respected your views on a lot of things. But, if that is how you truly feel, I may have to start reading your comments with the same view as I read Paladin.
SHEESH, I feel like I was just kicked in the gut. WOW!!
