We're up 21 at one point. They start dismantling our lead and Dan over there doing his best Doc Holliday impression. Doesn't call a timeout until the lead was down to 8.
Doc didn't yuck it up with the fans and wear cool tshirts though.
I think it's safe to say the free pass has ended at least with the fans. No excuses for what happened last night. This team is simply not good enough right now to compete for a title. Danny is quickly approaching Doc status. He appears way too comfortable. Someone needs to remind Danny he is not untouchable. Next year will not be any better either when Kinsey leaves. Can't help but get the feeling this program is trending in the wrong direction.
This is laughable. We he took us to the NCAA tournament for the first time in 30years and 2 1/2 seasons later you’re ready to dump him. We just lost the best shooter in school history. I’m all for fair criticism but geez. It’s a bad loss that can happen in a year where games and practice are not guaranteed. We can compete with any team in the league and he has added great talent from in and out of state. Regardless of the score the game is fun to watch.
Oh yea blowing 21 point leads and choking down the stretch is so exciting. If you criticized Doc and refused to hold Dan to the same standard you're a hypocrite.
Sam, give it a rest. We know you don't like anything or anybody connected to Marshall basketball. Friday night's loss was absolutely unforgivable. That can sometimes lead to more of the same problems in the future. But I was impressed with how they came back Saturday night and got out to a big lead and stayed with it for the win.
The recent history of Marshall hoops looks much different then football. Since Huck we have had 8 coaches and they are made up of the really good coaches that stayed an average of 2 years which is not long enough to really get anything going(Altman, Donovan, and Jones). The bad coaches (Freeman, Jirsa, and Herrion), then you have two coaches that stayed and built something with some success(White and Dan). When comparing White and Dan they are about the same in winning pct, but Dan has an NCAA win and the CIT Championship, so one could argue Dan is the most productive coach we have had since 1989(with the Altman, Donovan, and Jones just not being here long enough to judge). Im not really sure of the expectations since we have put so little money into hoops. Football got an indoor practice facility in 2014 and honestly with a capital expense like that you world think a real jump in football would have taken place. I feel Marshall missed a chance to feed off of the momentum of the NCAA win and the CIT Championship when Gullickson was not renovated/updated as a practice facility. I know that is being discussed but it was still an opportunity missed when college athletics is so much about timing and emotion.
Hear me out here but it’s almost like he has to teach his system to A NEW GROUP of players ( David early , Taylor ). Just cause Kinsey could be in the NBA doesn’t mean he is a better shooter than Elmore. You’re mad cause we are a series out of 1st place? Dan is smart enough to know the CUSA Tourney is the only thing that matters to get us to the Dance.
They are in the AAC and came from the Missouri Valley Conference. Last I looked they are both considered mid-major
I like you Meister but that’s a stupid quote. UNLV under Tarkanian played in I don’t even remember the conference. It was a mid major but UNLV was as much a power team as Duke or UK during that time. Gonzaga is not a mid major and they play in a mid major league. Memphis with Calipari was in CUSA and nobody considered them mid major. There have been several teams that have played in mid major leagues over the years that aren’t considered mid major themselves. Wichita State was one of those teams.
Its been bad in football, the epitome being that MU didn't win but the other team lost. Fans complained about wins.
So lets run off the most productive coach we have had in 30 years because his current 10-5 record is not good enough.
The same can be said with other AAC members Memphis and Houston but the fact remains, they are mid majors as is the A10's Dayton and Xavier
We all know Clark or the UTSA coach should have been COTY
