Without saying whether I agree or disagree, why do you think Robbie can't coach? What are some specific examples?

RE: big south tourney!
I have nothing nice to say right now. So I better not say anything.

Glad I spent $0 on the tourney as well. May spend $0 on my season tickets next year as well.

Very disappointing season after the way we started.

Started the season saying we were going to be an up tempo team and run the floor. Finished not being able to score 60 pts a game.

You be the judge.

RE: big south tourney!
Other than thinking about the obvious while watching the game online today, I thought about what a shame they just don’t play all the tournament games at campus sites. It looked to me that if you exclude the bands and cheerleaders, there were not 50 people at today’s game. Why don’t they just play all the games at home arena of the higher seed? Imagine how much better the atmosphere would have been if the CU had played its game tonight in Buies Creek? I would think that there would have been at least 2500 at the game and I bet the students would have made it a great fun/atmosphere for everyone (which I thought was the point of college athletics). Wouldn’t this make the regular season and higher seedings actually mean something by giving the higher seeds an advantage? I would also imagine that having all the games at night at campus sites would greatly increase overall attendance (i.e. gate receipts) for the tournament. It’s a shame the Big South is thinking of going the opposite direction and having all the games at a neutral site like Charlotte.

Example 1. His record in the playoffs
Example 2. His record on the road
Example 3. 2010 we beat ETSU by 22 and then 2 weeks later we get beat by ETSU in the first round of the playoffs (oh wait i guess that goes back to point 1)
Example 4. We drop down in level of competition and cant win 20 games against a pathetic schedule
Example 5. The games against HBU. Win by 14 then lose by 11
Example 6 2008 Lipscomb game up 3 with under ten seconds and doesn't foul to put them on the line and KEEP EDDIE ARD (who had 35) from hitting a game tying 3
Example 7 and the only one I need The infamous 2009 Belmont game.

I can keep going if you would like but I am starting to get carpal tunnel from typing all of these.

RE: big south tourney!
Last year's excuses (3-13 finish) were injuries and the scheduling with opposing teams repeatedly having more prep time than we did. I bought into both of those excuses.

It sounds like this year's excuse (3-7 finish) was the 9-day layoff preceding the BracketBusters game. Is that really going to wipe-out the remainder of the season? I might accept that for the Northwestern State game, but look at the games that followed...

The High Point debacle where the Camels didn't respond to playing a team trying to break into the top 6 on their Senior Night. Next, they go to Liberty about which a Liberty fan posted on their board that the Campbell players "looked so disinterested". Then yesterday, where Coach Laing states in the post-game that Winthrop "played with more passion than we did".

I just have to question the players' mindsets and attitudes.

RE: big south tourney!
Mr. X, thanks. Was just curious your thoughts on it. I do agree, I thought we would win 20. I didn't tink we would beat Iowa or ECU, and sweep CCU. But the HBU, UNCW, APP losses were bad, and Pres at home game was bad too.

I agree with OrangeCamel. Some of those bad losses early we were engaged, close games, etc. The last four games were a disaster.

Looking back as well, we were 8-1 without Lorne. He comes back and things fall apart. I'm not blaming him at all. Just makes me wonder about chemistry, Trey taking over the team and some maybe not liking it. Just got to wonder what happened there.

RE: big south tourney!
I was saying the same thing about two months ago on here. There is a problem between several of the players. It was obvious to me.

The Presbyterian loss at home was it for me this year.

Except for Wintrop and CCU everyteam we beat the first time ate our lunch the second time we played them. They had our number and we really did not improve.

Robbie is either going to have to build a team that can win consistantly and finish a season or he is going to have to go. The time for excuses is over. The players, facilities and support from the university and fans is there. Now do somthing with it.
I hope he is successful.
