Re: This is the last year for McDermott if not going to make the NCAA's

Where does anyone think we'll get the cash to buy out his contract?

 

[fcmc]

did somebody forget to tell uni about our brand new practice facility.

there's no way they're beating us if we have that.

Hey, wow, an anti-McD thread that the mods haven't closed out. :smile:

They probably will now, though.

We're not censoring, we're managing. We can't moderate a hundred threads about the same thing. As always, PM a mod instead of publicly questioning us, and you'll get an explanation.

Complain away.

McDermott has the emotions of Winnie the Pooh.

Your expectation is that McDermott should have been able to successfully recruit Barnes? This proves your expectations are too high. Become a fan of an elite college basketball program.

Oklahoma got home state kid Griffin from the Big Boys
Georgia Tech got a highly recruited home town kid

Anyone else watching Brackins Draft Stock go down faster than the Titantic?

Yes

6-2 with losses against two decent teams. Let's hang Mac.

Please. I won't say I am happy at all with the situation but we are 8 games in and the season is written off. I'm not saying he will turn it around, but there is a lot of time left.

 

[URBCLONE]

This. GMac's record against the Mo Valley while at ISU: 2-8. Yep, that's a winner.

My word is that pathetic. Just absolutely pathetic. :arghh:

 

[cyclonezing]

Agreed! NO EXCUSES! We should never ever lose to the freaking UNI ***** cats! I couldnt be more ****** off right now!

That's because both of them have had good programs recently.

You will have apologists pimping UNI as a sweet 16 team by tomorrow on here.

I have been a big Greg supporter. But there are no excuses for this one. Anyone that watched that game and knows anything about basketball at all knows the half court offense is killing this team. Cuts are sloppy, don't use screens well, no one moves with a purpose. UNI is good, but there is zero reason they should come into Hilton and win with this group.

 

[BigLame]

He need not go Mangino on his players, but something needs to be done to increase our intensity out there on the court.

Where is the fire? I'd rather McDermott go Eustachy-like and get a technical once in a while or even ejected than to be Mr. Calm all of the time. There were a lot of Dendy-like shots the whole game, when one guard passes to the top of the key, that player catches it, has the opportunity to pass immediate to the other wing to swing it around quickly, but instead holds it, asks for a ball screen, then dribbles around to no avail.

We are not tough. We do not make the extra pass often enough. We miss too many point blank shots (Garrett missed a wide open layup the first half, wide open) and we were out rebounded and out hustled.

This, if he doesnt make the tourney this year, Im all for people ********. Until then, lets see how it plays out. This team definitely needs to toughen up.

Maybe they could bring Flyod on as an assistant

 

[Clones85']

Get up by 9, put your second team in.....

Let the team back in the game.

Isn't this two games in a row he has done this? Step on the throat!!

 

[Freebird]

Re: This is the last year for McDermott if not going to make the NCAA's

Ditto. McDermott needs to go back to UNI.

After seeing what Jacobson can do I doubt they want him back. Count me as another long-time McDermott supporter who is done. Pathetic.
ISU basketball is dead.

 

[fcmc]

outcoached.
we were outcoached.
for four straight years we have been outcoached.

If you were standing next to me I would hug you tight, so you wont have to feel alone anymore.

Then it would be like dumb and dumber
