You have 2 timeouts down by 3 with 16.5 seconds and you chose not to use it to advance the ball or draw up a good play that won't waste 9 of those seconds.
Then you don't use a timeout to help out your player who's struggling to inbound the ball to cause a 5 second turnover (and have the audacity to get mad at the player). Then you don't even use it to advance the ball and try with 4.5 seconds left. Not to mention, you don't make any sort of defensive adjustment to stop that guard that was killing us.

I'm sorry but you cannot and should not blame the players for that loss when you fail to do your job as a coach in that game. You have to help your players by putting them in the best position to win and you didn't do that at all. And its the same in all of these close loses in the second half of games. How bout CALL TIMEOUTS, SUB, ADJUST!!! Even a kid playing a basketball video game knows that you should call timeouts or sub when your down by a few in crunch time. I'm tired of this. Wasting all of this great offensive talent and losing every other game in the same fashion. We could easily be at a 13-4 or 12-5 record right now but instead were sitting in the middle of the pack of a mediocre conference. No excuses with this talent and a CHARMIN SOFT schedule.

Please get it together quickly and change before it's too late.

Interesting, since my son, kept asking me why Walker wasn't calling time-outs. I don't disagree with your argument, but would note that in men's college basketball you cannot "advance the ball" with a time-out (unlike the NBA and women's college basketball).

When you have a never was washed up coach that has lost his desire to perform at a high level this is what you get. I have been saying it for years now. The guy doesnt care and it is obvious. The program will be a joke as long as he is at the helm.

He may not be a very good coach. I don't believe he "doesn't care". But you may be right that a young "up and comer" would have more drive and motivation.

Did walker actually get a Director job at new Arkansas Art's Center?

We can only hope that his talent lies in the art world because he sucks as a D1 ball coach and we all know it.

Another loss just drives the point home. Walker is 69-96 at Little Rock. When is enough enough? His coaching is indefensible. Not firing him at the end of the season is malfeasance on the part of the AD.
