Yes, the inexcusable three games lost to GA, MS and Murray State have no answers

Other than the obvious, that the team let Iowa State put them in a funk and they were lost for three games. That is on the coach as injuries were not huge then, he needed to keep them together which shouldn’t be that hard after a single loss

But he didn’t. They seemed to turn that corner though then the enormous numbers of players missing games.

So now these agonizing injury assisted (in a big way) but still very winnable games have team against the wall

As a fan and alumnus I am upset but hopefully like everyone else wants them to get healthy and win. While it appears unlikely especially if we will be missing three or more major players every game, I won’t apologize for a 6 game winning streak or more

Starts with SMU, while there we will watch in a vacuum and pull for a win

We are clearly not any better without him at this point.

Not that simple my friend. Penny has never groomed anyone else for the PG position.

It is that simple, the teams issues are not because of ALo as so many have argued here.

You can make 1000 other very fair points but the fact that Alo is not the biggest problem is still just that...a fact.

Not having a real PG is a major, major issue with this team. How can you not see that?

Point out where I said we have a thriving PG. I said no such thing.

How can you not see that?

The fact is the team is in the same boat with or without Lomax, He is not the source of all the teams problems as some posters have relentlessly argued.

But under Penny this and all Penny’s teams are a mess. And have been. We’ve got serious talent and serious issues, drama and inconsistency. That falls on the coach unfortunately.

Well, we killed Alabama and Wichita, and haven't had a good game since. The issue is that Penny is dependent on a 6'9 power forward to be our point guard. IF we have a point guard on the level of any of our other 4* recruits we are easily a Sweet 16 team.

But we don't ! If we had MAGIC /Perry/Turner/Stockton etc

And yet you make hundreds of idiotic posts about Pastner.

LOSING PLAYERS doesn't seem to have hindered Houston or other teams from winning

Lomax is one of the problems. Another is Dandridge. These guys had talent but have been under coached for years and its shows in their lack of fundamentals development. I could list example after example but there is no reason. People see what they want to.

Penny is a great recruiter, but a college basketball coach? Lets just say he has a lot of areas he needs to improve upon. Maybe he gets there, maybe he doesn't, but I'm not holding my breath. His teams are rarely focused and undisciplined. He would have made a terrific understudy but was not prepared to be a high D1 head coach and doesn't appear willing to or see the need for a mentor.

Talent doesn't make you a teacher or a leader. Nor does time unfortunately, hopefully Penny adapts.

Penny would be the worlds best assistant coach. It would be the role and capacity he would absolutely thrive in. He could continue to use his brand to recruit like no one else and he could play the comforting friend/coach role while the head coach is the bad guy. He would be phenomenal in that role.

The truth is that it is really hard to figure out how to run a company on the fly without ever having worked under someone to learn.

And we are better by getting rid of a point guard option...

Is that your stance?

Honestly,

I don't think all these injuries are not 100% legit. Just seems impossible.

Seems like a mutiny

Lomax has never been THE problem. THE problem is that we don't have a PG. When Penny plays Lomax 25 minutes, he becomes the embodiment of the problem. That doesn't change the fact that Lomax should not be playing more than 10 minutes high D1 basketball.

How to say you never played a sport without saying you never played a sport.

Amirite

Dandridge camping at the corner three is equivalent to Alo parking himself there.

Coach's offense doesn't do neither of them justice hanging around the 3pnt line unless they're going to take the open shots. Teams literally leave them unguarded out there and crowd everyone else.

That's on coach...

It is really strange... It seems like Penny has come with an endless supply of drama with every team.
