Why do you post here? You do not seem to like UAB. I know you can't stand Haase, but when they are doing well, you disappeared, like you were thinking "If they are doing well, I might as well stay away."

You seem to get the most joy in putting UAB down, rather than celebrating successes.

Haase brought the Blazers back from the abyss. He left before he reached the potential with this team, but I for one appreciate his four years here and hope he does well at Stanford. All you want to do is treat him like he was a horrible coach. He left UAB in the best position any incoming coach has ever been put in.

Thank you coach Haase.

Why do you care????

Anyway why do you follow all my posts?

Youre right i dont like UaB i love it andit could be soooo much better. Jerod Haase has never done anything to me sooo how could i not stand him? When they are doing well i enjoy it duh! Because it wont last long and i expect them to do great to kerp asking me for my money for season tix genius. The abyss lol the team was a year removed from the big dance and apr was getting fixed by Davis.

How did he leave UAB in the shape any coach did when Anderson left the place with three straight march madness appearances. Haase left after falling on his face in the NIT thank God byu took it easy on us at the end. Ray Harper outcoached Haase.

The players Haase left for Ehsan are a lot better than what Anderson left for Davis. That's how he left it in better shape.

That's pretty telling that Haase was the worse coach in UAB history win % wise after four years. He played in the worst, by far, version of CUSA, and still was the lowest win % wise. I know that has to be taken with a grain of salt because he inherited a mess from Davis and the 3rd year team was painfully young (and thus lost A LOT in the beginning of the season), but I still think he underachieved with the 2nd year team. His gaudy win total last year also has to be taken with a grain of salt, because it was achieved against an absolutely abysmal schedule. We also fell flat on our faces in the post season. I liked the trajectory of where we were going overall, but I felt like we took a small step back, given how we finished the season.

That being said -- I give Haase tons of credit for rebuilding the program and promoting continuity, but I was not sad when he left like I was when Coach Anderson left. I will also not forget the CUSA tourney run in 2015 and the NCAA win. Those are great memories.

Ill take PD3 over any of the guys who has suited up for UAB lately. The best guard we had since him has Frazier by a long shot.

Also did Hak play the 2 guard position? If he did i dont think having a SG thats 10 out of 33 from beyond the arc is a good thing. Haase O was for shooting or shooters if baskets didnt fall it got ugly. I know some said it ran through the five spot. How many teams have their C stretching the floor offensively.

This years team would wipe PD3's team that year off the court and you know it, or you don't know crap about basketball.

Delaney was a great player but he was all Davis first team had, and he wouldn't have Delaney except for a medical redshirt.

This years team couldnt beat a single P5 team i do know that lol

That team had Kinnard too along with Mukubu who might be the most athletic basketball blazer ive ever seen. No guard on this team could hold him even Brown.

Like i said ill take PD3 all day i could care if you think i know basketball or not its obvious you dont. Youre a great historian and analytics (hehehehe) guy.

It's kind of disingenuous to knock Hak for his outside shooting and then praise both Mukubu and PD3 when both had effective shooting ranges of about 15 feet.

This is something I don't like saying, but MB is right Dee...you do come off overly critical of the coach and team. I'm not saying as a fan we aren't allowed to be critical, I have spoken up when I felt the UAB coach was out coached or the team played poorly...but here's the difference, win or lose, I am one of the first to congratulate the coach and players when they played well.
You rarely give positive feedback...personally I enjoy it when you stir it up...it makes the board lively.
I stopped being a fan of the coaches when Coach Bartow retired from coaching...I realized the only consistent entity was the program...
Murry a Blazer through and through...was just put in a rough spot...following the legend...he did his best.
MA...brought back the glory days...may or may not wanted to stay..would have left for Arkansas anyways...
Mike Davis..One of my favorite personalities, in over his head in recruiting...Good X and O coach..hated the offense..never really accepted by the fans..suspicion of his motivation followed him from Indiana.
Coach Hasse, good recruiter, on the job training..able to sell the program..left program in great shape.
Eshan?
Every UAB basketball coach have won more than they lost.
Took the teams to NCAA and NIT.
And in my mind, done the best they could in their own way.

I think those guys actually lead their teams in scoring and one hasnt. Also we were talking about the teams not individual players. Like most on the board youre reaching tying my words together.

In would still pick that 2006-07 team over last seasons team who lost every P5 game.

And Hak cant shoot, i didnt say i was comparing Hak to the better shooters in UaB history whether you agree or not. Disingenuous or not lol.

And youre coming off as overly sensitive so what. I call it like i see it. College basketball out of the college money sports is the only one UaB can win and aint made the sweetsixteen since Anderson (who actually gets bad mouthed at times on this board). Until a coach get it back to that level i dont have a positive thing to say.

You are positive about Davis all the time. How many Sweet 16s did he get to.

Not having positive things to say about a coach unless they make a Sweet 16 is just about the dumbest thing you have ever said.

Thats all you got, piggy backing a joke.

In about 3..2.. Someone is about to spew a liquid about that stale joke.

I will still take a PD3 team over any Haase team.

The point is that all three players bring something to their team besides shooting.

Hak is the best perimeter defender on the team, the closest thing we have to a lock-down perimeter defender, and thats why he plays as much as he does.

One thats one more than Haase lmao

Reaching too huh i said until we have another Anderson level HC you know a multiple bid coach not a one bid coach lol.

I turned into a Davis fan after watching most bash him on this board. Did Hasse win any tournament game last season?

Lock down...in that, he defend a player who average 20 points and hold him to 20.
Lockdown...

Honestly I think Nick and Dirk are better defenders. Heck Nick was the only person to average a steal a game. I cant call you lock down if you dont average a steal.
