Naw  2.... It's not about the school, it's about the team.  It's about both how the team performs and how they look performing.  In every dismissed coach's tenure, there is a point where they loose the support of the fans & alumni because of results and the way those results happened.  This week's two ugly losses may be that 'point' for CAJ.  We'll see...

That was just my poor attempt at humor, McB.  :lol2:

I totally get what you're saying and agree. The inconsistency of this team is mind boggling.

Let's face it, most college bb players are more into ME and appearance than WINNING or TEAM.  The NBA has ruined it for the fans.  I can hardly watch any more.

I agree with Chechem BUT, in college if you don't make the players win whether as a team or one person you are gonna be FIRED! RTR!

This may be true, but you have teams like Nevada ranked #7, Gonzaga ranked #3, Houston ranked #9, and Buffalo ranked #25.  These schools can't always get the best players so they have to play as a team to be this competitive.

Let the record show I said MOST...

And I'm still wishing for the good ole days when players stayed at a school for 4 years.  Imagine, 4 years of college!  Was it really 25 years ago??

Coach, you can really tell the ones that play like a team, too. Not that many of them. We haven't played like a team very much, in years. Unfortunately, that all comes down to coaching.

I want to see a team that:  1.  Plays fundamental sound basketball, 2.  team that works as hard on defense as it does on offense.  3.  A team that is not ranked 200+ in free throw shooting.  4.  A guy you can go too when you need a goal.  5.  Players that are fighting to stay on the floor, not just getting minutes here and there.  6.  Hustle from the tip off to the end.  7.  A team that doesn't take 5 minutes into the game to score.  8.  You can take that buckle up stuff and can it, no one has to buckle up against Bama.

I just looked and Bama is 346 our of 353  team in steals per game.

In the SEC, Bama is next to last in free throw % only ahead of Ark and last in steal.  They are 3rd from last in assist per game.  They are 6th in rebounds.

Thanks.  Those are hustle and work ethic stats (or lack of it.)

The morning guys on JOX, Dunaway, et. al., were saying they've been hearing a growing rumor around TTown for 3 weeks that Johnson may be planning to move on voluntarily now that Junior is graduating.

WRONG!!! There are plenty of good coaches out there who would love to coach at Bama. We just have to find the right one. Coach C.M Newton was hired as head BB coach by Coach Paul Bryant in 1968. Bryant called Adolph Rupp & asked for a recommendation and he said Newton, who was head coach at Transylvania College. Not a high profile college but he did wonders at Bama. Ask for recommendations from Coach K, Roy Williams, Jim Boeheim, John Calapari, etc. They can even contact me at this site, if needed.

Finebaum will be saying more, I bet. The floodgates are about to burst on Coach Johnson and either his firing or quitting. Hope the AD is looking for a possible replacement.



Quote
Alabama is currently playing its way out of contention for an NCAA Tournament bid meaning the heat may be turning up in Tuscaloosa on Avery Johnson.


Quote
“There is an anxiety connected to (Johnson). I’ll say this — and I don’t think this is going to happen but I think the fact that it was even discussed means there is a little uncertainty among some people where I am here at NBA All-Star Weekend — there was talk that Avery’s people had put out some feelers with the New Orleans team about the vacancy at the GM position,” Finebaum said on the show.
