Amen. I don't care what Few did to Romar. Not playing Gonzaga was always a bitch move.

Pemmy for Buttler Cabin's thoughts.

I've never understood how you get better at basketball by playing guys that don't belong on the same court as you ...

If you want to be a better player, learn how to handle the pressure. You learn that by playing in these kinds of games.

I honestly never gave a fuck. I think the whole thing got overblown.

If you're still paying attention to Husky basketball, you are the problem.

Because those non conference games UW has played the past few years against big time opponents (Duke, UConn, Indiana, Ohio State, etc) have made Romar's teams so much better. I get what you are saying, but not playing Gonzaga has had nothing to do with how Romar's teams have played.

Means one of two things...

1 - Pressure is finally building on Rollball and Husky bball. He'd never willingly get taken to the woodshed year in and year out by the Zags.
2 - Rollball is planning to retire.

My sources are telling me Romar is recruiting a monster class.

When romar actually figures out how to coach he may be able to take advantage of the prospective recruiting class. Sadly, the kids will need to rely on themselves to develop.

Romar just needs more time to figure out how to coach.

Disagree. Romar has actully done a pretty good job of developing players from a skills perspective while he's been here. There's a reason he gets so many guys into the league, and it's not that he's an ace recruiter. Guards, particularly, tend to flourish under Romar's toutelage, Abdul Gaddy notwithstanding.

The problem is that while Romar is great at developing player's skills, he's not great, or even good, at developing a cohesive offense. His development is good, but his X's and O's are bad to terrible.

Thankfully, it looks like he'll be going back to more of the flex offense and away from the high poast, which was just a terrible move for UW's personnel.

These new guards will develop pretty well, and a couple of them will play in the league. But none of them will play in the Elite 8.

I was referring to team development, not personal success after college. I really don't care what the guys do in the nba overall, I care what they do together at UW. Romar is a big part of taking a great amount of talent and making it worse as a unit.

It's nice to see guys do well in the NBA, but overall his job is to win with his players at UW, not make them into fine NBA players. Hopefully he's able to do both because it does lend itself recruiting when you can point to alumni in the NBA. More often than not, many of his players do well in the nba, which makes you ask the question what is the missing piece of the puzzle in college?

BTW, Romars inability to admit he screwed the pooch on the high post offense is the perfect example. It was a bad experiment. Wrap it up and go back to what makes you good. Instead, we have watched 3 years of inept play and continued mantra of "the team will get it next year".

Teams play defense in college basketball.

Jerreau was capable of running the high post offense ... nobody else was. When he got hurt ... everybody was screwed.
