Fire Porter Moser

Men’s college basketball Top 25: Unbeaten Vanderbilt, Nebraska are bona fide top-10 teams

It's also time to consider mid-majors — and Utah State and Saint Louis join our ranking this week.

Some interesting blurbs on a few teams a lot of people on this board are interested in. Relevant to our (please come to fruition) coaching search, the bit about St. Louis is good. Imagine having a coherent offensive plan that is consistent from year to year, and not having one of the slowest offenses in the country?

For the record, I haven't written off the season yet. I like our talent. And I still think this team can do something good this year. I will chime in on whether Moser should be retained after the season. Until then, I will just support the team. I like the kids and like Porter, for that matter. At A&M, we played OK on defense, lost our way on the boards due to foul trouble with Wague, and then picked a bad game to lose our stroke down the stretch. And, Brown played horrible. Still clinging to hope for the team and coaches.

Do you know the kids and Moser personally? And we didn’t lose our stroke. We lost any semblance of an offense down the stretch. It was Brown dribbling around, the wrong guys taking shots, and Pack struggling to score when he was sitting on the bench beside the assistant coaches.

And this game it was rebounding and turnovers. Other game it is defense. Others it is coming out asleep like ASU. It’s always something. Good teams (meaning team with a real coach) don’t always have some fatal flaw or another pop up. And when they do, they are tough enough to still win their fair share of the time. Loser, on the other hand, annually maxes out as a below .500 coach.

It just seems like a rotating wheel of failures.

No offense one game. No rebounding another. No defense another, then more turnovers one game.

The same issues keep popping up, year after year, unaddressed and there is one central point of it all.

Moser is truly the only constant. New players year after year. New assistants. Heck, even new strength and conditioning coaches. And I still have no idea what his core principles are. The only two things I can identify are both negatives: we play ridiculously slow, and no matter how much length and athleticism we have, he is determined not to apply any pressure or create turnovers. He wants to sit back and let our poor halfcourt defense do its thing.

I agree. I tended to defend him earlier in his tenure because I think there are things a college coach shouldn’t have to worry about when coaching paid athletes. Like the importance of ball security, turnovers, stupid fouls, etc. But it’s hard to do that now considering it’s becoming year after year.

yeah i held out hope until the a&m game last season.
still had some hope for him this season with what appeared to be more talent and a better constructed roster.
but it's clear his formula just ain't working.
hopefully we have a new coach next season.

Oh I’ve been against Moser since the season opening loss in 2023 but I get what you’re saying. I think it’s very apparent now to everyone.

I'm definitely disappointed, but we still have a lot of season left. If we continue losing late in games, or just not showing up into the second half of February then I think we know (or hope) Moser will be leaving soon.
