So Sick of This

Howland truly doesn’t deserved to be dignified with a retirement.
He deserves to be fired.

That's really good you to put all the blame on him and none on these players who can't even make a layup.
Exactly! Everybody wants to scream about the coach while the players aren't doing very well themselves either they play the same scenario every game.
So, our players collectively fold late consistently..:
….and that isn’t on the coach?
GTFO with that ********.

Really??!!! Who the hell is Cam Carter? Guy hasn’t played all year and puts up 15 tonight! We haven’t been able to score all year and he’s sitting on the bench. Screw me sideways Howland!
We have a guy who has never played put up 15 and they gave us 4 points. 19 points we weren’t expecting and we STILL can’t win!

Except Howland has been the coach for 7 years and we have watched his teams collapse in must win games time and time again. The players change but the coach has been the constant factor
How stupid of me only our coaches are at fault when we lose I understand it now thanks for helping me out.
I need to send an email to Howland to not go on another six minute scoring drought when we're running the same damn plays we have the entire game.

I only have one question what is it that he changes when it's five or six minutes left in the game about our offense that is making us not score? You're telling me it has nothing to do with our ****** shooting.
Howland is a big part of the problem but it's not all him by a long shot.

I’ve watched college basketball for many years../
….and I’ve never seen anything like our losses this year. The only thing close was one season, probably 1997 or 1998, where we were close in a ton of games and lost almost all of them.
The difference is that we weren’t blowing leads like we are this season. We were just fighting to hang in there and couldn’t make it happen.
I don’t give enough of a **** about current day State basketball to argue with you, but you don’t seem to have paid attention to this basketball season.

Now you’re just making **** up…
I never said it was “all Howland”. But, he’s the head coach, he’s had the better part of a decade to do SOMETHING (he hasn’t) and his team is imploding week to week. That’s not “graceful retirement” worthy.

He recruited everyone of these players to run his system. We don’t move enough to do it correctly…Also, we only defend in spurts. Brooks and Jefferies have been HUGE busts.
You could read the tea leaves on Jeff…..Brooks is the one who has disappointed me the most. Incredible frame with zero fire in the belly..
Again, we play lazy, too cool for school, soft
It all trickles down from the coach. He has zero sense of urgency. He may not make the season
I've been watching for a long time myself and I can't figure it out either except that I believe it's got to be a combination of our coaching and our players performance because sooner or later if it's just one or the other you're gonna luck up and win a game here or there.
Let me put it this way how many players do you we have that have impressed you enough that you would take them to start a new team? The only guy that we have that will step up is Molinar and all they have to do is collapse two or three guys on him every game down the stretch when we are struggling and we always struggle down the stretch because nobody else on this team is good enough to take it upon themselves to make a play or plays to help us win.
Yes I agree that something different needs to be done and it should come from our head coach but I haven't seen any leadership out of anyone on this team to take charge on the court itself. I don't want to fight either but just say and get rid of one guy is gonna fix the problem is not really a good solution by itself either
This is a good take. All I'm saying is I keep seeing these posts that say Howland, Howland, Howland, Howland... and never said anything about our players who are soft, slow and can't make a layup. We need to clean house from top to bottom that's all I'm saying not just get rid of one guy.
I’d take my 8th grade son over pretty much anybody on our team..:
I’ll never argue that we have great talent. Molinar is good, and others aren’t awful, but ad a collection they just can’t seal the deal.

you must not have ever witnessed a basketball team that was really well coached.
I would love to see Howland get fired up and get a technical. Our players would probably pass out in shock.
I quit watching this season at the start of the 2nd half of the 2nd Arkansas game. But I've seen enough in almost 7 years to know that this **** just ain't working. I'm tending to lay more of a blame on the coaches, because the same thing keeps happening with different players. The half court sets are just awful, almost at a junior high level. The university has paid Howland 14 million dollars for zero NCAA wins. That being said, I'm still on the fence regarding Howland. He seems to bring in decent talent and who knows who'd we'd end up with if Cohen fires him. But if I'm Cohen and I plan to keep him one more year, I'd tell Howland to can his ****** staff. We'll have decent talent coming back next year. I'd like to see this group get coached up and see what they produce.
If it happens one or two games then yeah just blame the players. When it literally happens in 8 of our 11 losses with this same script where we fold at the end… that’s on coaching.
