In his defense, and the Good Lord knows I don't come to his defense very often, I felt that way with Saul too. (Rightly or wrongly so.)
It is the Summit, there is no reason we shouldn't be on top or threatening the top team every year.
The problem with building for one good year every 4 or 5 is, what if that 'good' team doesn't make it? That's a 8 to 10 year drought.

i agree twinsguy what a total cop out blame game--------news flash there is no spirit energy or joy when your in a scrap!!!! thats why they call it a scrap!!!! and thats what they were doing for 30 minutes of that game they were scrapping with the scrappiest team in the leage and beating them to boot--------bottom line dave blinked and went to his small ball positionless basketball bull-shit and they got beat by 15 down the stretch
Our team settled for the outside shot all game long and didn't have the heart to go mix it up in the paint. UNO doesn't play good enough defense that they couldn't have gotten into the paint but we decided to just hoist three's all game long. First 10 minutes we actually hit a few of them, last 30 minutes UGLY. There is only one guy on the roster that will consistently try and drive and tonight he didn't even do it much. Stop settling and take it at the defense. I mean we need to work on free throws anyways so why not get some practice in the game. 0 FT's in the first half backs up how much we settled for the outside shot.
I have heard Dave say several times and he said it again today in post game. He is not worried about results but rather how they attack the process. Well I hope he does not care about the result of him getting fired and he attacks the unemployment line hard. Man that guy is stubborn. Do the assistant coaches say anything to him?

Not going to argue with that. He needs to be quicker with his decisions when he gets the ball in the low post and recognize when the double is coming. That can be worked on. He actually looks much more comfortable when he can face up. He is easily our best option in the paint though and I am a firm believer that having a low post threat opens things up for shooters.
