Its next year for McDermott or else

Petey was 0-4 with no rebounds and one assist tonight. How bad does he have to play before people on this board stop glorifying him?

I don't see how saying he would be a quality backup PG is glorifying him.

Anyone see how great Petey played tonight. He is such a smart player. He is a great team leader as well. He is the glue that kept this team together. He is the motor that kept this team going through bad times.

Actually, no. Tell me you're joking. Did we watch the same game?

And he pretty much won the game for us last Saturday.

Minus the first part, that's all right on the money.

Not speaking on just your post in particular...just can't believe how much people love this kid.

Even so, with all due respect, I think he'd be 3rd string next year if Colvin is as advertised.

Great. One game. Woo hoo!

People love the kid because it's the only person we've put on the floor the last two years that you could expect to bust his balls every second he was on the floor. He didn't deserve to be playing in the Big XII Conference, but he earned his playing time. Intelligent player and respectable human being. What more do you want? I don't just like Petey the basketball player, Petey the human being is a pretty decent guy.

Great. One game. Woo hoo!

He's 4th on the team in scoring. Second in rebounds (yes - that's second), second in assists, second in steals.

He's the best 3pt shooter by percentage we got. Same goes for FT.

That's across 31 games. BTW - he's also the only player to have started every game.

And he's pure hustle.

Easy to see why people (with a brain) like the kid.

Woo hoo.

I love the kid too. If some other players had the motor he does, we wouldn't be at the stage we are. For example, I'm tired of the typical Lucca line: 0 FT, 1 rebound.

Woo hoo.

6.6 points. 42% shooting. 3.8 rebounds. 0.7 steals. 2.7 assists.

You're right. Retire his number.

I think with this stuff, you'll find neither Larry nor Wayne won a whole lot more games here than Greg has. Minus guys named Tinsley and Fizer, Larry wasn't a .500 coach here.

Not sure I understand you. Simple addition is telling me that Larry was 101-59 (Conf. 42-38) and Wayne was 55-39 (Conf. 22-26) those are certainly better numbers than Greg's 44-50 (Conf. 14-34). I could just as easily say that minus Brackins Greg isn't a .250 coach here.

That 05-06 team should have been a LOT better than 16-14 with the front court it had.

Totally agree, it was time for a change.

Quite honestly, I'm not seeing a whole lot of differences between any of the coaches. They're all mediocre coaches, but this coach has a solid foundation laid and potential for a top half of the Big XII team next year if Brackins stays around.

Orr was a good coach and took the program off life support. Tim Floyd was a hell of a coach. He knew the game, could motivate his players and could recruit. Larry was a great coach, he won back to back conference titles and made an elite eight appearance. Morgan cashed in on the capital left over from the first three, but he also brought in some great talent and won a few tough games. I am waiting for Greg to get it going...to show us that there is life in the program.

You're right. Retire his number.

Nobody said retire his number Einstein.

You asked why people like him.

He's done more on this squad than anyone other than Brackins.

Now go tuck yourself in.

Are you ever a happy guy isunorth?

Why do you have to hate the kid so much? All he did is give ISU his all, sure he isnt All Conference, but he is a team leader. He is also in the top 10 of made 3s at ISU. The kid has no business playing Big 12 ball but he started 67 games and did a good job for ISU.
