I understand Hudson transferring
I believe Uchebo had something to do with first year

I would have done the same as Hudson, and I think Uchebo had more to do with that first year than anyone else.

[quote=“ninerrbl, post:20, topic:32135”]I think nothing of Hudson Price. He quite on his teammates because his dad got fired.
He quite on the assistant coaches that put time in coaching him.Iit wasn’t only his dad that was
coaching him. He comes off looking bad in my book. He would rather not play if he
can’t play for his dad. I guess that is the only reason Mark Price took this job. Its not
like he really wanted it. Judy talked him into it. It is pretty obvious Price best coaching job
came in his first year, when his son was sitting out. They played hard every night out.
Since Hudson came eligible the team went down hill. is that a coincidence? I think not.[/quote]

Blood is thicker than water. Mark Price got a raw deal here so he left.

clt never cared for Hudson price.

You seriously can’t be coming down on a kid that quit b/c his dad got canned mid-season. That’s ridiculous

I would think that most of us on this board would support our child quitting a team if it were their parent that got fired. You would want to protect your child from all the backlash, having to answer questions, etc. You may not have like Price or Hudson, but he was our best player the first nine games by far. He was the only one keeping us in games sometimes. As it has been mention, the player that has taken his place could not play defense against a middle school team.

clt says you were watching another player than clt. he had no reason to start, and the team is better without him

Hudson was not a bad player and the more minutes he got and the better he played, the worse other players became. It was the beginning of the end for Mark as players quit on him. What was he to do? Sit his son out or realize he was slowly losing the team by playing him. Hudson being a senior, I think Mark believed he could ride the storm out till next season till there’s no Hudson. Here’s where I have an issue with Judy and the athletic department with not seeing the real issues and somehow make better decisions than firing Price and putting us in a worse financial position. We’ll never know if Mark would have taken us to the promised land (star power, NBA connections, respected name, etc.) but firing him mid season IMO was a total asinine move on Judy’s part. June can’t come soon enough.

She’s done and just collecting a check for a few months.

FWIW, I would assume Rose is attending the 2018 NCAA Convention in Indianapolis this week.

Transferring to what? he’s out of eligibility. I could see him doing if he was
a freshman or a sophmore

Why do you have to mention he was a star player? I know that’s the only reason he got this job.
His playing skills have nothing to do with this. He was an awful coach that running the program
into the ground.

Yes I am. This is the real world. This ain’t rec ball. Everything ain’t going to go your way.
So you are okay with the best player on the team, in you’ll opinion, quieting on the team
in mid season. I could see him doing it if he had eligibility left. He’s a fifth year senior. He’s done

clt says you were watching another player than clt. he had no reason to start, and the team is better without him[/quote]
I agree. He just played the most minutes. Good riddance to both Price’s

I don’t think Hudson was great but he was better than Ajukwa. I’d trade Ajukwa for him in a heartbeat.

I don’t think Hudson was great but he was better than Ajukwa. I’d trade Ajukwa for him in a heartbeat.[/quote]. With a really good center and a bunch of newcomers, Price did OK in his first year. In fact I think he overachieved. When this bunch of crybaby quitters decided to rebel against Price, it’s set us back what may be years to right this ship. I admit Price didn’t handle the mutiny well but for all of you criticizing the Price’s, you don’t know how difficult the situation had become behind the scenes. Price’s coaching skills didn’t get a fair shake and that’s my beef with Judy’s knee jerk decision. I can see it now. Fancher is let go which probably means coach Simovic too. Will the Serbs stay? I doubt it. That pipeline to Europe may be our ace in the hole but I’m afraid that door is about to close. One bad decision after another, will it ever end?

There are plenty talented players in this area that doesn’t go a to Power 5 schools.
We need to get some of them and don’t worry about a pipeline to Europe…

I don’t agree with the decision to can him mid season, but we were awful. and headed in the wrong direction He lucked into an excellent center that had no other options his first year. Uchebo masked a lot of our problems in year one that either were not, or could not be addressed by Price. He was a monumental failure as a head coach here and he showed no signs that he was pushing things in the right direction. We needed to rip that band-aid off, I just wish it were at the end of the season for optics.

You can call the current team crybaby quitters if you want, but these guys get 4 years to play college ball. It’s not fair to them if their head coach is giving special priority to his son over them.

As for the Serbs, Ivo had nothing to do with us getting Supica, so if Supica leaves, it won’t be because Ivo is no longer with the program. Ivo and Vasic are probably out of here even if Fancher is retained.

I suppose there is a possibility that left alone Price would have left at the end of the season for the good of the program, but he doesn’t strike me as a quitter and I think he really believed he could make this work. Let’s face it, we have a big stinking mess, but I think it may be best that everyone in the coaching community knows this far in advance that we have a head coach opening, and a new AD coming in. We are what we are, but we are on their radar before the coaching carousel starts in earnest.
