Sorry, we're paying someone over 300K per year to WIN GAMES not implement some "system". Enough already. We're getting worse, not better. This is on the coaches to change strategy for the roster we have and isn't fair to the players. Could care less who reads this or gets mad for it being said. Ban me if needed.

Sorry, getting mad is not a strategy to win. And it's not going to get players to "compete". If we don't have the personnel to play uptempo AND defend, get rid of the uptempo. It's hard to lose by 20+ if you keep the score under 60.

DO SOMETHING. ANYTHING. COACH.

These are not 4-5 star players who simply need to ""turn it up" to win. We don't have the roster from last year. Fine. Find a way to at least compete anyhow.

What happened to "the buck stops here" as a coach?

There is no reason why UNCW is this bad. KenPom now has UNCW predicted to be last in the CAA. Six conference wins. 9 or 10 overall wins. To go from 14 combined losses in the last two seasons under Keatts to losing by 37 to a NDSU team that was below .500 going in is a major shock to the system. Something needs to be changed.
