YSU MEN'S BASKETBALL/SLOCUM

[jbags]

A couple of points...first...this little mini run has proven my point about how men's basketball can be profitable with a bit more attention paid to it...all of a sudden we have bus trips and watch parties because of 2 wins...2! Imagine a 20 win season's excitement...it can happen if administration is not fooled by this and finds us a coach we can get excited about....second point...to reiterate..dont let this 2 game excitement cloud over the fact that overall our head coach has a terrible overall record that is compounded by the loss of players through transfer...we still need to move forward and capitalize on this run

"this little mini run has proven my point about how men's basketball can be profitable with a bit more attention paid to it."
How exactly can you say that?  And WHY is the only thing any of you seem to be interested in sports is to make a profit?  Make a NOTE:  SPORTS PROGRAMS FOR ALL BUT A FEW ELITE SCHOOLS IS A "INVESTMENT" NOT A PROFIT CENTER!
So let's say, for arguments sake, we win the next 2 and win the league and qualify for the turnament (highly unlikely I know but for sake of the argument) would you then immediately fire the head coach?  Exactly what message would that send?  The coaches you would be interested in would simply laugh at you!
You guys are so hung up on your hatred for Slocum that your judgement is clouded.

Finish it off.

Could not have been said any better.

This run has to be killing the JC haters! 
Too bad boys. 
Way to go YSU MB team!

I assume that you mean JS and if so you are missing the whole point. Sure there may be some on here that may hate JS, but most fall into a group that want more out of the program then we feel JS is capable of delivering.

I am excited over the past two games, happy for the players, happy for JS happy for YSU.

Unfortunately the same Ole Slocum coming out tonight.   No defense, can't hit free throws etc.    Need coach like NKU has great recruiter and game coach

Except Slocum is out coaching him the 2nd half

[YsuPride]

Unfortunately the game is played for 40 minutes and we gave up 42 pts in the 2nd.   Good effort but defense the downfall.   Good bye Slocum

[Dmorton]

You said it, no defense!  And no depth at the 5 position killed us!

it is now time for Jerry to the right thing for Men's Basketball. Say Goodbye.

Better team won.  Respect for our guys.   Played hard but just not enough muscle on D.  Need some big guys for next year.

[IAA Fan]

I think Slocum out-coaches most in the conference. That guy from Oakland seems to have a huge following in the media. Tonight was simply the 3-ball. I think NKU hit a season high against us. None the less, they are going to the NCAA tourney in their first year of eligibility.

[YsuPride]

Yep Slocum out coaches them all and it shows in the 5-13 conference record.    What are you watching?   My lord
