Yep. Murphy has been a poor teacher of basketball especially on offense. The interior defense of the zone is very weak. Luckeyone has been getting hammered on this forum from Murphy zone apologists. It is disgusting how many easy and uncontested shots are given up most games.

You think they'd be playing harder if it was man-to-man? Bond is the only player on the back line who plays hard all the time. Thompson, Minnie, and Groce all had matador moments throughout the game, and our defense suffers significantly whenever Bond is on the bench.

Blame Murphy for not getting the best effort out of his players, fine. Has very little to do with the defensive scheme.

I believe if Murphy let our players play street ball on offense and defense, we'd still probably win 8 games

Which is why I think they should fire Murphy now. The players basically coach themselves anyway. It may motivate them to play a little harder. If not, no big loss, since we already know Murphy will not elevate their games.

Agree!

First of all does anyone know what Murphy's contract status is?

I cannot disagree with any of the posts about his X and O coaching strategy. Despite firing two assistants last year, there still is no offensive pattern and everything is predicated on incredible execution of the zone defense. The guy does recruit, however, and his record trumps that of his predecessors Boone and Ramsey who were pretty good strategists but couldn't get any good players to come here. A contract buyout also just provides another financial hurdle to the desperately needed Championship Building.

Still Creighton just had all of the seniors over to his home where the wife cooked dinner. For Murphy to do this the players would have to get on a plane and fly to Syracuse. Seventh season here and his principal residence is still 440 miles away?

I was at the game Murphy had zero support from current regents and the previous athletic administration especially getting budget support I believe the current regents don't like aggressive afro American types who they perceive as non team players Murphy for his part does little to smooth over the differences yes its time for a change but unless the regents and this ad make a signicant dollar investment with $!$ they should keep Murphy

Here is a story I heard Murphy wanted a 2000 a year raise for mike brown and benny white. The asset ad said no and pulled $200 out of his pocket and said to Murphy here you go while Murphy may lose his job over wins and losses the regents admin and athletic staff treated means hoops with little or no respect and little support hard to win at the D1 without it or having one hand tied behind your back

Murphy nor his staff have never earned a raise!!

He's stealing money from EMU because of a bad deal that the AD before Lyke agreed to in his contract. Even when we had Brown and White, Murphy ran the same defense and offense.

Disagree!!!

After this season, it's time to try and hire the next Braun.

I don't disagree with hiring a new coach but you will need to increase the salary and investment more dollars into the program to make a quality hire

It's because EMU hires bad coaches. I put the answer in the coaching candidate thread. EMU must simply S.T.O.P. hiring P5 assistants with no coaching experience (Ramsey, Murphy).

EMU finally learned this lesson when hiring Creighton in football.

Riddle me this....how many fired Basketball Coaches ever became head coach again for another College? Answer: None. That means EMU hires bad coaches and then we get bad results!

Yes but if we remove the NAIA Basketball teams, I believe he would not.

What's Murphy's MAC conference record?

I believe 0.500 at best after 7 seasons. EMU needs to try to win the MAC which I believe should be doable based on our facilities and locality to fertile recruiting grounds.

There's no prize for being wrong or right fyi.

If we remove non D1 victories from his OOC record, Murphy is either under 0.500 or hovering close to it. Let me know if I'm right?

If this is true its a remarkable act of disrespect was it revenge for Murphy publicly complaining about the scheduling which he pointed out he had no control over and hence didn't schedule teams to save his job or extend his contract or complaining about the budget?

Did Murphy schedule those games?

BTW, I watched both the EMU/BG game and the Chiefs/Titans playoff game yesterday.

I'm sad for us but 10x sadder for the Chiefs' fans. That had to really, really hurt. blowing such a big lead late.
