Do we owe BK an apology?

BK was one of the worst Xs and Os coaches in the history of college basketball. The guy literally didn't know that a player could be fouled before the inbounds pass or how to use a time out. He and Melvin Watkins would tie in a basketball IQ test. The question is whether we owe Stansbury an apology for not honoring our deal to him for pulling BK out of the fire with actual basketball coaching and recruiting talent.

If anyone besides Buzz should be our head coach right now, it is Rick Stansbury. Buzz is much less likely to get us on NCAA probation and just as good of a coach.

What's that say about us as a basketball program that the "worst Xs and Os coach in history" led us to the furthest we've ever been twice? And our only conference title in like 30 years?

Don't be a fool

BCG and even Turge would coach circles around Billy Kennedy.

What does it say?

Or are you just suggesting that was a great tenure in spite of the evidence?

To his credit the players took over for our most impressive wins. That's not terrible.

He had a top 5 class that played 3 years together, almost unheard of. His first sweet 16 he was lucky to make it with a miracle comeback. That team had 2 future NBA players with the top 5 class. Should have done more. Second sweet 16 team barely made tournament and the talent was all over the court. Losing to Michigan the way we did also stung. They could not miss a 3 and all we had to do was post our big guys. So we were never satisfied with 2 sweet 16s in 3 years

Credit Kennedy with: "a top 5 class that played 3 years together", a Sweet 16 he was "lucky" to make, recruiting 2 future NBA players, and a second sweet 16 team that was "disappointing" after blowing out North Carolina.

So hilarious the spin that goes into discrediting everything Kennedy did here. If it was all luck then I'm still waiting for another coach that can hopefully be so lucky.

There's no spin. Kennedy was absolute garbage for 6 of his 8 seasons in Aggieland. That is simply not good enough for this athletic department.

I'm glad Kennedy is gone and that we have Buzz, but give Kennedy credit for what he did, because so far Buzz hasn't done **** here. I'm still hopeful but we'll have to improve from this point by a lot to reach Kennedy's accomplishments here.

This is an indictment of the Buzz tenure for the first two seasons.

For a supposedly great coach these first two seasons have been inexcusably bad for what he's being paid

Why do we always settle for the "almost but not quite" top tier coach who just comes here to retire and cash pay checks

This quote is so wild that I can't believe it legitimately went through someone's head.

I'm content. I'm not jealous or envious that others are more successful in life and I don't spend time on fan boards trying to make others miserable to demonstrate my utter lack of power or control in my life.

Thanks for asking though!!

This is a good point. Just because we are all hopeful, that Buzz will get it done doesn't mean we need to turn a blind eye either. That's part of how we ended up with Kennedy for so long.
Personally, I am confident he will have us going to the tourney every year, but I also thought we would make it in year 2.
don't know how much of an excuse covid can be, because every college team was dealt the same hand. Recruiting has to pick up and fill our weak spots, which is something he was known for I thought.

Content & happy and miserable are not the only two choices. Nobody is happy with these two seasons. That doesn't mean I'm not confident Buzz will be successful.

Bellyaching about how things are going doesn't contribute in any way to make this place more enjoyable, and it won't get our program to be successful any sooner.

How you feeling about your boy Buzz after tonight's embarrassing performance?

You don't get to ignore it by pretending you know he's going to lead us to the promised land

He needs to start earning his salary immediately next year because right now he's not doing it

Last place in the SEC is totally unacceptable

Question for you..... Who could we get that is better?

Does his coach of the year award and the way we finished last year mean anything?

Anybody that has followed aggie basketball knew that this would be a 3-4 year process. Of all the major sports programs on campus men's basketball was by far in the worst shape of them all when he took over.

He did better last year with BKs recruits last year than he did with his recruits this year.

Silly statement.... he got more out of chuck mitchell and nebo then maybe anybody could.

This team was bad and everybody saw that, but no real
off-season killed them. Obviously other teams had that issue as well, but our inexperience combined with lack of talent magnified it.

Can't help but notice no one can say why I'm wrong beyond just "a feeling" that he'll do better

And he better finishing in the basement of the SEC means nowhere to go but up

I'm incredibly disappointed in Buzz and this sorry excuse for a men's basketball team, but at least Buzz knows we deserve better. BK is used to failure, makes terrible excuses, and doesn't seem to care how bad the team has been playing. I still think firing BK was the right call since there wasn't much hope that we would get better.

You're wrong MD. You use all sorts of fallacies to make your non-points. Your fallacies don't deserve a meaningful response then you trash talk and belittle everyone who does respond. You invalidate yourself. Why should we bother responding?

When an opponent is losing, you don't lend him a hand, after all...

Try actually responding to what others write not to try and win but to find points that can be used to improve the discussion. Feel free to use stats or diagrams of plays or comparisons to similar teams and then compare and contrast. All can be done with open ended questions that push forward a discussion.

The trolling is the opposite of that.
