RE: Thoughts on this disaster
The most frustrating part about being a Bearcat fan is always see teams underachieving in critical moments, both Football and Basketball. I don't know what it is, but bone head plays and coaching moves, and snatching away victory from ourselves. Always feeling like Lucy pulling the ball away from us.[/align]

Personally, I am tired of seeing this not so thinly veiled stuff about Cumberland from him. If he’s hurt, sit him. If Jarron doesn’t like that, tough $hit. You’re the head coach, he isn’t.

If there are other issues, work them out in private, not in the media. If they can’t be worked out then Cumberland can either get on board or dismiss him from the team if he’s turned into a total cancer. You’re a head coach, freaking act like one.

I’m sure that there are a number of posters here who have managed very talented people who have enormous egos. Managing in that kind of environment in the manner that Coach B appears to be doing is an absolute guaranteed plan for failure.

Make #34 look like a fool or make him look lazy and it will be all but impossible to recruit players as talented as Jarron. Believe it or not, high school kids pay attention to Twitter, Instagram, etc.

When Jarron got benched earlier this year due to "coach's decision", nobody liked that either. You have to admit that there's a no-win with Brannen in terms of how JC is handled unless he gets it going soon..

Weren’t you the one who questioned the roster heading into the season?

I witnessed first hand Sauron coach against Iowa last year
and the Nevada debacle up 24 with a cakewalk into the Final 4

UCLA fans would gladly give you him back

I am all in on Brannen sucking so far, however I am also not praising the angry Leprechaun. That guy sucked too. We gave Mick 5 years, what choice do we have other than to give Brannen at least 2 or 3. Unless someone like Pitino is behind the curtain, it would be a waste if time.

They both sucked at different things. At least Mick knew what the programs identity was even though he basically just achieved the equivalent of late Huggins year success which wasn’t good enough.

Basically this program died during the Nevada game. Last year it was basically on life support. The new arena isn’t all that good of an experience, it’s more comfortable but has no character at all. No banners, horrible acoustics, dead student section, way to much corporate sponsorship vs UC tradition.

We are now living out the second distruction of the program in 15 years.

How did we begin to agree on so many things? New arena now offers secondary market tix for 9 dollars. Wait till the fallout of dismayed season ticket holders that don't renew next year. Could we possibly see a time when you will be forced to buy basketball tickets to get football season tix

RE: Thoughts on this disaster
I still think Brannen was a better hire than Pitino. But I think now you could convince me we'd be better off with Van Exel.

The on/off stuff Brannen and thinly veiled references with Cumberland are one main issue. Sitting him against BGSU, then putting him in for OT. Saying he'd only play when 100%, then letting him play clearly not at 100%.

Unless that twitter quote is actually referring to Chris Vogt. I can dream! Vogt seems extremely popular - and with reason as he is excellent offensively - but his defense has been horrible.

It wouldn’t be difficult for Coach B to play a winning hand re: the Jarron situation. He just doesn’t know how to do so.

And when your argument fails, you pull out three year old quotes. So spend a few hours looking up my exact quote about Fickell. Fake news that is equivalent to name calling.

But I'll be flattered you spent so much time on me! ?

For starters grow a set and sit him until healthy. Don’t let the player tell you he’s playing. Thought they finally saw the light this week. Nope.

These are relationships that had developed over the summer with his roster. You know what’s really popular with fans, winning games.

Nobody cares who the coach plays as long as he wins games. You also have to get the best out your most talented players or your just not a good coach. You can talk system and analytics but if you can’t translate and adapt you better off in the media than on the sideline.

Brannen is basically a smart basketball guy that over his head and an awful fit for UC. He is a better fit for mid-major program that had a tradition of good offensive talent, or as high major assistant, maybe a TV analyst.

To win at UC, you have to able to recruit players that can rebound, defend, and out talent the majority of the AAC. When you mix it with a few special offensive talents you give yourself a chance at big things. Houston figured this out, Memphis did too, Cronin knew the formula but was unwilling to take chances in recruiting.

RE: Thoughts on this disaster
It's clear to me that brannen understands UC needs jarron if it is to reach its peak this year BUT from the stands jarron was even more frustrating than other games. Completely disengaged. Toasted by his man multiple times. Stood in the corner. Didn't try to get the ball. Rare times he got the ball he played hot potato. We better pray his awful play at the end wakes him up.

At some point maybe brannen should just give up on jarron and go with the guys that want to be there.

Lol. You still haven't forgot me all these years - wow. Am I constantly in your thoughts? Your keyboard devotion is a little creepy.

But since I have zero thoughts or rememberances of your 5,572 posts, I'll move on to real facts that season ticket holders are dumping tickets for single digits.

I am way more in agreement with benching Jarron now more than ever. At some point Brannen has to make it work or say goodbye.

It still doesn’t excuse late game comfusion and meltdowns every night out. It’s not that they lost tonight but this could have any of those other games they were lucky to win.

Why not give your top 50 recruit Harvey his playing time and see what he can do? My starting lineup would be MAW, Jaevin, Harvey, Keith, and Vogt.

Yep. And let Jarron get both physically and mentally healthy.

I thought season tickets sold out this year and there was a wait list for next year...
