once I am convinced we have [U][B]turned the corner[/B][/U], I will be all over Phil and Judy. Its not time.
The defense and no âand1â style last night gives me alot of hope.
Interesting comments after one game
If Lutz wasnât given a contract extension after last season, is a 6 point win over High Point really enough to change anyoneâs mind? I liked what I saw last night, but letâs not get carried away. Phil and Judy have obviously decided that Lutz is going to have to earn an extension and you canât do that with one win over High Point.

I your mind
Oh sorry, thought this was the tree word game thread, my bad!:biggrin:
My point is/was if you think Lutz should get an extension, the administration needs to hear from you. Our opinions are important. I talked to several people before the game who thought it should have already been done.
Considering Bobby was told to consider other options, I donât think our opinions are important right now. Winning games will go a helluva further towards keeping Lutz around here longer. And escaping an ugly game against High Point isnât really solidifying an extension. Certainly a step in the right direction but no way does one game change the status of the situation.
[QUOTE=LeftyNiner;267553]It was only one game but you can see the tremendous potential of this team. I want to see Coach Lutz get the chance to develop this team and add some more key pieces. If the boosters, fans, alumni, students want Bobby to be the coach, Chancellor Dubois and Judy Rose need to hear it.

I like what Iâm reading, unfortunately as usual I didnât watch the game, but itâs only one game. If we lose our next 5 would you feel the same?
Come on man, this is lefty you are talking about.

We better not. Iâll be at all of them. :49ers: That would really suck.

No use to dis on High Point⌠What if we beat GT? Will that change your mind? Well hell, UNCG just took it to them on their home court, so big deal there. High Point is a top 100 team in my book this year. Their RPI might not indicate it in the end (due to their conference and number of non D1âs they have to schedule to get some home games), but they have a dominant player in AZ Reid, nice set of guards (who werenât at their best against us), and a very good coach in Bart Lundy.
Say âwe should of won this one,â but there were many predictions that had us losing this one and winning the Wake game (including WHâs.) Great win to start out the year with so many new guys. If we can get one against App state then this year has started out on an excellent note.

Agreed. I thought the game was too-close-to-call beforehand and in hindsight, I think I got it right. If HP had a couple starters back in their lineup and if the refs called fouls a little more equally for both teams - I donât know if we win.
Whatâs point were you trying to make, savio?

High Point isnât a statement game. Itâs a win, good for the team. For that matter, nobody is really going to care because itâs a team weâre [I]suppose [/I]to beat. If we would have lost that game, that would have been a statement.
Wow, I am a bit surprised this topic so soon. I didnât get to make the game Friday night. I watched the game on tv (most of the 2nd half atleast) and I read the story and saw the box score. This game by NO MANNER says we should keep Lutz. This was a game we should have won. Done. I want to see where we are in December and at the end of the season. Yes the potential is there but a lot of the same problems are still there. Poor free throw shooting, poor fg percentage. Beating a Big South team doesnât equal an extension.

Itâs Lefty, of course he would.
I was fired up about things but after reading this [URL=http://www.ninernation.net/forum/showthread.php?&t=17974]Another Impressive Performance thread[/URL], wowâŚNiner Nation is on fire.
Letâs get the extension done so Lutz and staff can build on this. Itâs much easier to add a few new pieces than to start all over again. We need this team intact.

it is tempting in order to pin down a couple guys starting tomorrow.
arenât we only recruiting 1 spot? or 2? I admit I am not a recruiting nut.

Two. (Goldwire & Phaler graduate) There is specualtion that Lewis is not coming back (of course, EVERY year there is speculation that Lewis is not coming back).
Iâd expect Bowden to sign now and then sign one more in the spring.

Iâm a big Lutz fan, and really want him to finish out his career in Niner green. That being said, 2 games over a weekend does not earn you an extention. I think he is well on his way, but I would like to give it AT LEAST a few more games. The whole, âits hurting our recruitingâ bit is a tad overstated. We lose 2, and already have one locked up. Waiting another month or 2 isnt going to hurt anything.
While I wasnât totally sold after HP, I was closer but not totally there after the game last night⌠When I got in my car to go home and heard Lutz in the post game, he sounded different. He didnât sound excited last year, he did last night. I like what Iâm hearing from him, I like that we can play some D and I like that we have some diversity with the ball, I love the fact that we SHOULD continute to get better and that will compound with Gerrity.
F it⌠Sign him up.
