Players turn the ball and take bad shots-not the coach in spite of what people think at the end of the day the player has to value the ball above all else. The blame game just gets old after a while and you gotta hold players accountable at some point. Maybe Fornes works out this time .

If my memory serves me right,, Fornes had fixed his on court issues and was playing very well. Something else happened that put him in the dog house.

McGrath had ZERO offensive movement for the team. Everyone was turning it over and taking bad shots. We finally saw some form of high picks and offensive movement the game after he was fired, and we won.

When I see some improvement over McGrath I will acknowledge it . Right now there is no improvement going into year two in any respect. If we are holding him to the same guidelines as McGrath he has about a year and a half to turn it around.

McGrath was handed a fine functioning machine and wrecked it.

Siddle was handed a clunker and asked to fix it up wen the world was shut down.

There will likely be more time given to Siddle

He had an empty class and the best perimeter player went with Keatts. We have all run this into the ground repeatedly and it serves no purpose other than throwing rocks at people who were fired or left for other reasons.
Other programs won games during the pandemic or got better as the year went along-didn't happen at UNCW. The not getting better is the biggest concern to me because they looked like crap at the end of the year. Now he is rebuilding from zero again with all the players who left.
Basketball pays the bills at UNCW and if he doesn't win games fans will not show up. Better win next year is how I see it. He doesn't have to win the CAA-which by the way is as weak as water now but he better be a winner in the CAA and overall. He has a little more security that McGrath because they don't have money to pay two coaches with no money coming in but they need wins and not beating up on D2s at home. No extensions and no pay raise until you win . He may have to come up with his own style to compete and not carbon copy Keatts who by the way would be fired at State if not for the pandemic and the silly contract extension.
