So, what needs to change?

[tsou89]

Clearly we can’t continue to do what we’re doing. What’s your suggestion?

New coach
New staff
Different players
Different approach

Someone figure this crap out cause the last 2 years have been CRAP !

 

[chuckb]

I think we need more suggestions from irate OU fans.

 

[cjhsooner]

Well, Kruger will be getting a raise to stay at OU, so the change will have to be elsewhere in the program.

HAHAHAHA This LOL. Didn’t we just go to the final four 2 years ago. Fans on here act like we are a basketball school and should be 30-2 every year going to the final four. Just chill everyone, Lon and Joe C will get things figured out and we will be better. Heck we are going to the tourney this year and that’s all, as OU fans, we should ask for.

Things will return to normal after Trae leaves. Kruger sold his soul in the recruitment of Trae. Kruger isn't the one driving the bus at the moment. Rayford and Trae are in full control

Disagree. All I ask for is a little heart, a little fire and intensity. Who cares about making the tournament when your team is a dumpster fire?

1. Sending a few softies packing would be a nice start.

2. Replace Hartman and his son Kevin for more experienced assistants with a defensive background.

3. Stop recruiting projects at the 4 and 5 spots. It's been a problem under Lon since day one and I honestly don't know if it's a problem that will ever go away quite honestly.

We won 11 games last year without Trae. Something is rotten with the other guys on the team.

That's the minimum standard here. Not something to be excited about.

It is but its reality. We are a Football school and demand we make the final four there BUT if we make the tourney in basketball and every once in a while we get lucky and make the final four. I’m ok with that because that is WHO we are and it is reality. If some on here think OU is anything more in men’s basketball then they live in another world.

Oh how we forget so quickly last year and just want to blame Trae for everything this year.

The new normal....just make the tournament, shut up, and be happy. Has the bar really been lowered this far?:facepalm

Dumb AF.. we ARE A BASKETBALL SCHOOL

 

[hoopsaustin]

New players. New coaches. Start over.

This.

Someone should tell our boosters that, considering we're last in facilities and pay the 5th most for a coach who has been to 2 final fours in the conference.


This is like K State or Texas Tech fans thinking they should be in top bowl game every year.

I haven't seen any critics on here expecting final 4s every other year. But if you're content with the way the last two seasons have played out then we just have different standards of excellence.

I mean, I'd love to win a lot more games, but you'd have to be blind to think players should want to come to OU, basketball players that is. "Come to OU, where 5k fans will show up, but if you win, you'll get maybe 10k to show up, but it will sound like 5k at the actual games. And also, work out in what is possibly the worst training facility. All this while nobody actually giving 2 craps about you because the football spring game is approaching and football recruiting happens during the season."


Yeah, OU should be attracting coaches and players with that. Reality is, we are a football school first. We don't invest much in basketball, so little, that we are begging the city to approve to pay for a brand new arena with tax $ because there's no way in hell OU can raise it themselves.

Agreed. And why my only hope nowadays is for the program to be relevant enough to the make the tournament. This fanbase actually doesn't deserve the success the program has had.

Not even close. It's as if you have no recollection of the success we had under Tubbs and Sampson.
