Yeah. Let's put our plans out in the media so other teams don't even have to scout us.

They know we only lose Brown. They know about the 16-15 ncaa iowa st win. They also know at the 26-7 nit first round exit. Also know UAB havent beat a P5 school since lowa st

On a good note he sounds positive about recruiting. May have some early signees.

Ehsan has Lee working on his decision making skills and the ability to put down weaker opponents.

That's cool

Also we've had three that has transferred. I dont think I could count a coaching change as a negative when players signed up to play for the previous guy. I dont mind guys transferring its part of the game personally . We didnt have a ton of transfers but we took one in every class seems like thats.......

Davis didnt tweet this.

But whats your point. My point is transfers are apart of the game. A good coach can turn things around in a year. I remember Haase running Hoopy off and all coaches does this to rebuild. Eshan is in a special situation where he gets no mulligan. Had we went with the two candidates i liked if they were true candidates i would've expected change. Also you can look at your roster and their offers they had and it could tell you if they would look at transferring or not.

Also Davis still made postseason play 4 of 6 years with a bad postseason record. The 2009 season was one that always stuck out to me about Davis. He had 4 returning guys and he dealt with the apr thing and made the postseason

The apr mess he helped create.

Hoopy was run off for a reason. It wasn't because he couldn't play ball.

Ehsan is in the best place possible for a new coach in my opinion. He has basically an entire roster returning that is coming off of a very good season. He adds in a few pieces that should help us get where we want to be. You are right though, he gets no mulligan here.

He inherited an apr mess... Since it dropped on him

Why was Hoopy ran off because J.T. was a discipline problem.... Some say

Since it was a 50/50 thing calling plays with Haase wouldnt mind him explaining three times he made a correct call or didnt so you can get a feel of his coaching philosophy. Hope he does call timeouts.

I don't know why hoopy was run off, that's really not our business. It's just clear that's what happened there.

He doesn't need to explain his coaching philosophy. What good does that do anybody? And the timeout thing is so overstated in my mind. It's just a philosophy. Some of you act like Haase didn't call a timeout the entire time he was here.

I'll leave the coaching to the coaches. Until he proves otherwise, I assume he can do the job.

He didn't inherit the Apr problem. Some of it came from Anderson, but most falls on Davis.

Ed Berrios
Mike Davis Jr.
Jeremy Mayfield
Adrien Coleman

4 players were declared academically ineligible in one day. All Davis recruits. Plus there were academic issues with Vaden and Dexter Fields. It was a problem before Davis, but it was a managed problem. Under Davis it was an ignored problem.

Not our business? Lol rite if they ask for my money i would like to see kids treated right or fair.

Explain his coaching philosophy is better than listening to old Haase and Williams story. He would be promoting his brand and actually talking about his team. Timeout thing lol its coaching anybody can coach. Its things like that that separate a lot of them.

The only reason it seems he got the job is he knew the current players and he would sign for cheap.

DOES EVERY BASKETBALL THREAD HAVE TO TURN INTO A DAVIS VS ??? ARGUMENT?

I didn't start it.

But Davis has some serious hate/haters coming from this board.

Personally I thought he underachieved, but the truth is he did some good around here. He's killing the swac right now. Wouldnt mind Tx Southern coming to Bartow ill give him an applause.

One question i got is why former coaches wont return a game.

Inherited as in he was the first to deal with it. Dont remember Davis teams scoring under the margin i could be wrong.

Coleman was never a Blazer the other three i remember.
