He always seems happyā¦ we are 3-8 over our last 11 games, but our coach is happy go luckyā¦ Iām sure heās thinking, Iām still rich, nobody at little ol Charlotte cares if we win, ho humā¦
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Please fire this guy.
Ron is a good guy that cares about his players. I appreciate that about him. The coach speech about āstandard is the standardā, āitās about the journeyā canāt change āwhen we lose a game or twoāā¦You can get away with that stuff when you actually lost a game or two. It aināt working Ron, but hats off that you can get in front of a camera and Coach speak like it is. If I were coach in Year 5 like this, I would be losing it on camera, and it would be entertaining.

He talks about how young we areā¦still!? Itās year 5ā¦and he says it EVERY year.

āWe have a standard of excellence and we are not lowering that standardā
Soā¦that standard of excellence is 9th place in CUSA?? -
āOur goals from the beginning of the year have not changedā
WTF are our goals??? Obviouslyā¦nothing to do with winning. -
āWe continue to learn and growā¦all we are working towards is being the best version of ourselvesā
Againā¦the BEST version of ourselves is currently 9th of 11 in CUSA!!
He talks about how close weāve been in a lot of gamesā¦like that fān matters. The participation trophy/moral victory parade is not anything I am remotely interested in. Being close to beating a Top 5 team or even a top 10 team is something to build onā¦being close and losing to UTEP, MTSU, FIU and RIce is NOTHING to brag about!
And he NEVER talks about winning and losingā¦ever. Nothing about being disappointed with where we areā¦that we are better than thisā¦that 9th place is unacceptable and we are working to go on a runā¦ NOTHING about winning and losingā¦ever.
A coach that does not prioritize winning will have a team that plays like they donāt care about winning and thatās exactly where we are. He couldnāt give 2 sh!ts about winning and it shows in the team and the record. Butā¦we are working to be the best version of ourselves and if we do that weāre winners!
For the record I was bought in to Mikeās mantra of āCompeting for Championshipsāā¦not this Moral victory/close losses/participation trophy/process/learning/best version of ourselves bullsh!t.

Ron does believe Winning Matters. He stated multiple times early in the season. Here is one from the Boise St Game:
(83) Charlotte Menās Basketball vs. Boise State - Postgame Presser - YouTube
Iām not listening to it so Iāll take your word for itā¦but that was 22 games ago.
If you have to look back 22 games to find a comment form Ron about winningā¦you pretty much proved my point.
It caught my attention as it was the first time I heard him state winning matters. It just stuck with me. Easier to state winning matters when you are winning. I want to see Ron succeed, but I do believe he is feeling the pressure to win.
Could be that Ron cares about winning and assumes you know it. Itās sort of like not going around always stating that āwater is wet and is needed for lifeā. Bitching about the results heās getting is legit, but bitching about his sunny public demeanor is just bitching.

Well, you may be correct but heās the happiest coach Iāve seen after getting his ass kicked repeatedly

Winning mattered until he was losing more than winning

Announcing the roster? Ron decided to reset the conference record and start fresh?
How about that 1 team eventually make the NCAA tournament.

One of my biggest issues with Ron is he is always happy to talk about why we lost players not playing hard enough, not following instructions, too young etc. I donāt if I have ever heard him accept blame.
Which is something that nearly every great coach does. When the team wins itās the players and when the team loses the coach accepts blame . Itās a defining characteristic of great coach but also great leaders.
