[QUOTE=NinerAdvocate;151454]The one or two idiots who cheer for us to lose on here because they donāt like Bobby do make us look bad, all criticism aside. The ones who do it at games are complete a-holes. Theyāre probably the same people.
I think thereās a big difference between being critical and showing your rear end.

I sure hope you are not lumping me in as one who wants the Niners to lose. I simply want change and will let my season ticket holder status qualify as a vote for the change I want.
[QUOTE=casstommy;151444]What do you want? A final fourā¦a sweet sixteen? What?
[/QUOTE]
Hmm. Well, I want to go to the next level. In the last 10 years the farthest weāve been in the tourney is the 2nd round, so yes, the Sweet 16 is where I think we should be and after that is the Final Four. So, whatās wrong with that?
Lutz aināt gonna get us there. We have regressed in every way, but what kills me is the lack of heart this team has. That right there is reason enough to get a new coach. You people donāt get itā¦
Well, I realize that everyone here is trying to vent, and demand that Bobby be dismissed but what good is that going to do? We will have to get a new coach, install a new system, and try and keep commitments from recruits. So I dont see us losing Bobby anytime soon since Beasley is still his recruit ( I Know Hill recruited him but Bobby gets the credit he offers the scholarship) So I dont see Bobby going anywhere anytime soon. Bobby has lost the passion to coach this team and the players are just as fedup. Lets just hope they dont embarass us with the finale of this season and lets hope that since he is going to be here another year that he gets his head into his gameplans and focuses on next season a whole lot better than he did this year.
[QUOTE=ATL_Niner;151439]Yeah, I honestly think we should just continue to look the other way and hopefully things will get betterā¦itās attitudes like this that is the reason we find our program in the pitiful state that itās in.[/QUOTE]
You really donāt know what pitiful is ATL and are obviously not familiar with Niner basketball history post 1977. I agree weāve stumbled as of late but had Iti panned out and we retained that other whiner Grier things might be quite different. This yearās team is in complete dissaray b/c Lutz has had to fill the holes with JCās, most of whom have never played defense. We need stability and a PGā¦once we have that weāll continue our progression.
[QUOTE=NinerAdvocate;151454]If you want to see just how much of a difference a single PG can make on a talented team, look at Cincy after they pulled Holy War, and started the other kid (but before they lost half their players to injury). Kennedy looks like a genious just for benching one guy and starting another, simply because the whole team fed off that change.[/QUOTE]
Look up the road to Wakeā¦Grey is a bust and they have twice our talent. And probably should have lost to Richmond tooā¦
I have ridden Coach as much as anyone, as I still strongly believe that he seems to regret not getting out of here last year. I think right now he seems to be uninspired, but will probably stick around until Tatum, Wilderness, Harmon, and Beasley come to āsave the dayā. Even though itās logical, I will be extremely pissed if Coach takes off after using these guys to get build his own stature, not the programās. I just have the feeling that he will fly the coop at the right time in the future, which, after this year, it will not be.
He doesnāt recruit like someone who wants to leave, Iāll give him that. Thatās why Iām not sure what REALLY is going on. I only know what seems to be going on, and how the team or coaches appear to be behaving.
Weāve seen Curtis drop 39 points on Saint Louis, pretty much single-handidly beating them. Weāve seen Leemire light teams up, DeāAngelo light teams up, Mitchell inspiring us with his play two years ago against Louisville. Who can forget Nance last year against UAB? Or the flashes Dumptruck shows us when heās out there? The talent is there folks, but something isnāt clicking. If they keep losing, so be it, but I just want to see something out of them that shows me theyāre hurting over losing and fighting to try and win and try to break through.

The difference between you and me is you are a dumbass and donāt know it teabo pretty-fāed up.
We are lucky to have coach Lutz. I hear some comments even close to me that concern me a great deal. We have not been playing at the level we are capable of ā¦and I guess coach Lutz gets some credit for that fact. I would love to see this board when we win the tourneyment and go deep into the NCAA. Coach Lutz offers a lot to Charlotte. His passion for the game and his love for Charlotte are obvious. Its sad to see such fickle support when things are not going well. A true fan sticks with a team through thick and thin. I would wait until the season is over before I chant anything too negative. I think we need to get out the tape and play that line āit aint over till its overā. Lets wait and seeā¦and not be too fairweather in our support.
I disagree about the PG piece. Most DI teams these days dont have a ātrueā PG. Weāve NEVER had one under Lutz and still fielded competitive teams in the past. Weāll see next year, I suppose. I donāt see how Williams could be anything but an improvement to Mitch at this point, but its not like heās gonna change our systemā¦which could use some changinā, in all honesty.

I do tend to agree with a lot of the sentiment here. Our seasons seem to generally be a roller coaster ride. It would be nice if we as fans could not be so extreme with our reactions to the roller coaster. Of course this year roller coaster is mostly downhillā¦ and most of us are just displaying our passion for the school and team.
I personally feel Lutz still has a passion for this Charlotte. This thing may or may not get turned around, but if there was any one person that I would hope could do that, it would be Lutz.

I guess that was his love for Charlotte playing out last year as he interviewed for the UT jobā¦I donāt begrudge him the oppurtunity at all,but making a totally naive comment like he really gives a crap about Charlotte and wouldnāt taking any bigger job that came along is absurd.

The fact of the matter is Bobby has had several opportunities to leave for a ābetterā or at least higher paying job and he is still here. Did he talk to UT, yes. Did he leave us for UT, no.
No real āinsiderā info. here, but I am willing to bet that the only reason that Lutz didnāt leave is because they wanted Pearl over himā¦not because Lutz turned them down.
i wish everybody would shut the F up about Lutz after every damn loss support the team you damn *******, if not donāt go to the games itās that simple
If we had a Tom Izzo coaching this team, weād be nearing 20 wins given our schedule. Coach Lutz is an average basketball coach who has had really good talent. He is a tireless game planner and is always inpeccably prepared. When teams execute based on this knowledge, they have success.
Our team is composed of basketball chowder heads. They are indecisive or make bad decisions with their passes and shots. In the zones they are often clueless and fail to make the proper rotation. They miss simple reads and are painful to watch.
Lutz needs to emphasize basketball fundamentals more. Heās not getting kids like Eddie that are coming from DeMatha with solid skills and kids like Jobey/Diego who are fundamentally solid. He needs to adjust to fit his more athletic yet rawer team.
