I haven’t been this discouraged since Wissel’s last season.
Our team is doing nothing right. The key guys from last year (Davis, White and Ajukwa) have seriously regressed and are playing with no confidence.
With none of the big three effective, we have a huge talent deficiency against most teams.
Among the young players, Murphy and Vasic are showing promise. However, they should only be role players and are not capable of carrying the load at this point.
This team needs a psychologist more than a coach at this point.
Examining the schedule, not sure when we win again. Could be stuck on three wins for a while.
919 to the rescue! WE NEED YOU.[/quote]. Nope. I can admit, I was wrong about this team and apparently about price. My only defense in expecting more is the regression of JD (especially), AW and AA. Those guys have gone backwards big time. Who saw that coming?
At the end of the season, Judy will instruct Price to fire all the assistant coaches and not hire any new assistants until after the next recruiting cycle is over.
Since I live over this way, went to see the game today. Terrible. Turned the ball way to much. Lots of fouling that was unnecessary. Players actually yelling at each other. Davis at this point is way over rated. Bad rebounding.
I watched the Panthers game instead today, but threw this game on for background noise afterwards while piddling around the house. ESPN3 is solid. Even paying only partial attention, couldn’t help noticing that Chatt went on a 14-0 run, Davis got Benched, Charlotte went on an 11-0 run and tied the game up at half. Second half traded baskets with Davis on bench, Price puts David back in, Chatt quickly goes on another 14-0 run to seal the game.
Did White even play? I didn’t notice.
Forget regression, that is straight up cancer. WTF is going on in that locker room?
This program is so broken that I’m starting to believe in Metros black helicopters. Literally competing to be the worst program in D1A athletics. Both revenue sports utterly hopeless… like it was intended.
If Dubois and Judy devised a plan to destroy athletics, it could not have been done any better than this. You wouldn’t change anything or else it would be obvious it was intentional. Just a truly amazing orchestration of killing this department. They somehow added football only to make the pile of shit larger.
The Price era has been a complete disaster. Please quit using the AD as an excuse.
Only one person to blame for a 49er team to lose to UTC by 14 is the
head coach. The team plays with zero effort. The only thing a Coach Price team
is good at is getting technical fouls. They have had more then any other Niner coach
combined. Two more today. This is an embarrassment.

Actually had three technicals called - one each for Ajukwa, Garvin, and Vasic.

At this point the best thing Price can do for our program is leave in a blaze of glory, and tell all about how much harder Judy makes things than they have to be.
For the record, I don’t think price is that bad. I think when you get handed chicken crap it’s really hard to make chicken salad. When you have somebody dumping chicken crap on your head while you are trying to make the chicken salad, the best you are going to do is an e-coli outbreak.
Even if Mark Price were the worst coach alive, which he isn’t, at some point this crap has to fall on Judy. How people choose not to see that is beyond me.

Price clearly isn’t as good as I expected him to be. However, there is something more going on here with our older players (specifically JD). Remember, JD was not that highly recruited but looked like a great steal for 2 seasons under Price, even being touted nationally as a top 20 guard. Now, suddenly, he looks like crap EVERY game…that makes no sense. Same goes for AA and AW, perhaps to a slightly lesser extent.
