This is his second year, can you imagine next year with hopefully hickey, Morgan, Martin, Mickey, and the 7 footer. Free throws cost us tonight. If we got 65 percent from the line we win. Don't blame that on Johnny let our talent mature. At least he can recruit and Martin is starting to show his talents

I'm far from giving up on him. I'm starting to give up on JOB though

I'm more excited about Hornsby and Gray than big Elbert.

I'm hating the "next year" talk but jones should be coming around by next year. If not then he needs to feel some hear.

We were out coached. Their press got us out of rhythm. Missed free throws and couldn't close game

2-3 zone killed us. They wanted to force Coleman & Hammink to shoot. Hammink was there just for defense so that hurt the offense even more

JOB had 6 points. No down low offense. Still stagnant on offense. See talent but no results.

Young team, talent, and great effort is the positive. This team can become great just depends on coaching and development.

Three games in and you are going to play the "wait 'til next year" card? Are you serious? That abortion on the hardwood needs to be addressed NOW! If we are going to throw in the towel already then get Quarterman out there to run the offense. Everyone in the league knows that our Oompah Loompah back court is no threat to do anything other than stand 40 feet from the basket and put up 3"s. Dribble penetration will break down any zone and allow these "talented" bigs to go to work inside. Someone (I am looking at you, Quarterman) has got to get the ball to the elbow on the drive and force the defense to commit. It's no different than running the read option... when the forward commits to the penetration, the baseline opens up for all of these high flying, slashing trapeze artists we have littering our bench. Running the shot clock down to 5 seconds and shooting a pull up 3 is not an offense... it's a travesty with the talent we have on this team!! *Steps down from soap box*

Nobody giving up on JJ. He needs to grow into the job as a better than average game coach. We needed to be better down the stretch ( not talking about last possession). When we had the lead and couldn't extend it late he needed to use his TO's and get the team focused and in JOB's case get him a few looks in the last 2 mins. We had gone stone cold and were just throwing up jumpers and then crashing the boards. He will get better and the players coming in will expedite that.
