Nightmare scenario is that fears transfers to any blue blood school and going to the nba without "oklahoma" permanently listed as his school imo.
Just like loser moser's brother, venables
Maybe Xavier Robinson will play a bigger role Saturday.
Main thing i disagree with is that i don't think that the roster is bad (other than having no big men). What i mean is that, this team has enough to win. We just have the worst coaching in the SEC and competing, if not the worst, for the worst coach in the power conferences of basketball
Yeah I agree, Fears and Moore are stars. You should be able to build a team around these two guys. But you have make sure the other guys do the little things: Block out, rebound, value the ball, defend, go after loose balls, compete hard. Moser has shown that he's not capable of demanding this of his players.
I think with a good coach, we would definitely win more games with this roster than Moser will. But regardless of how he handles the lineup, we are going to be starting three guys every game who should be backups on an SEC team. I'm not willing to just assume that JN and Jones would have been big improvements. They may have helped, and would give us more options, but Jones comes from a lower level than Elvis, so I don't think it's safe to pencil him in as a steady, SEC-level starter. JN is a wild card -- JUCO guys can go either way, and whether his athleticism would translate to D-1 (and whether Moser would let him play freely) are open questions. Big picture, he assembled a roster that was always going to have an uphill battle athletically every night, and he certainly isn't equipped to coach them to more wins that their talent level.
My deal is just, let's not let loser moser off the hook by saying the team has no talent (even tho that would also be his fault anyway).
Oh I agree 100 percent. And last season is the one that really was a debacle. Again, he had Moore, two guys who now start on top 10 teams, and a very athletic and effective Soares. Led them to a 2-11 record against the field, and never even attempted to use their athletic ability on defense in conference games.
Funny that a guy who has posted 5 times and never contributed anything of substance would suggest that I am the person living in a hole.
Thanks for your support.
If you look at the 2 most successful bball coaches at OU in my lifetime they were totally opposites. But they both demanded the players execute what they wanted and in the way they wanted it. And if you couldn’t do that, you couldn’t play.
I recently heard someone say something like this (paraphrasing) that I agree with: in order to think you take the risk of offending some people.
again, the personal insults are unnecessary. It shows a lack of maturity and invalidates fair critiques.
You're prolly right. But meh. I guess Ill just keep talking how I want to
Or don't. They seem to not play well in front of larger home crowds under Moser. Maybe if they think it's a neutral site they might be more successful. What's OU's non-conference tournament neutral site record over the past couple years? Pretty good?
