Everything gained has been lost
All the credit and praise that Chasse Conque got for hiring Chris Beard and him leading the program to a school record in wins, and an NCAA tourney win over Purdue has been flushed down the drain with the hiring of Wes Flannigan. And I suspect he knows it too.
Just when this program was at it's highest peak since Mike Newell, and probably even higher than it was then, he hired Flannigan, and all the air was let out of the basketball, and it may never see the opportunity that we had then. The crowds were beginning to come in record droves, the program was getting a lot of publicity in the press and the local stations were giving us the best coverage we'd had in years. Poof, down the drain.

Hate to say but I agree. Think we have talent but coaching is lacking big time

I have to totally agree. I am totally disillusioned by this and am hoping that something will be done about it. They lost again tonight in a close one but still a loss and there will be many this year. Wes has got to go.

I listened to the last 7 minutes of this game. With 30 seconds left the Trojans had TWO chances to Win or Tie....!!! Blew them both by players uncoached in how to win the close one.
Sorry.....!!!!!!
