What I'm hearing

The only people that I'm seeing defending Romar at this point are those that are worried about retaining this class (which I get but is misguided) or know nothing about basketball.

These two groups you mention are one and the same.

I know absolutely nothing, but I believe Romar will get to coach Murray, Chriss, and Crisp. The top 10 recruiting class is saving him, otherwise he would be door..ass..out.

I think Romar should have gotten the ax after last year. It would have been more than fair to fire him after missing three straight tournaments, especially when factoring in how bad his recruiting was that lead to those teams being so bad (besides his own coaching).

If he spirals to Owentwelve I don't think he'll survive.

Should have been fired already but if he goes 1-11 or 2-10 he really should be gone. The incoming class is only a concern if you hire the wrong coach.

This. If Woody is worth a damn he should be putting out feelers right now. There are plenty of coaches they could bring in and they would keep a majority of the recruits in the boat. I'm sure a few of them secretly want a new coach after watching this year.

As long as Crockett is filling his seat across the floor I don't think Romar is gone. Emmertt was at the ASU game sitting right next to Crockett, well for the first half.

My opinion here won't be popular as this seems like this board is the official "Fire Romar Circle Jerk" but I and probably a majority are willing to let him try to win with next years class. It's frustrating as hell to watch right now but most of my adolescence UW hoops was frustrating to watch (Russo, Nance, Bender).

Worst roster in 13 years of the program. Probably one of the worst outlooks and people assume we will right the ship with freshman? If you're in favor of romar next year, you will hear the exact same mantra next year b/c freshman are not typically difference makers. Everyone remember Dorsey is a 4*, yup, savior

My problem with this is that we have also already seen his ceiling.... it's the Sweet 16. Even with crazy talent he still couldn't get to the Elite 8.

I'm done, an apathetic fan base is the worst thing you can end up with, and that is what is happening right now. I can think of about a hundred things I would rather do then watch a UW basketball game.

The problem with this argument that he earned the right to coach the freshman class is they're, well, freshman. So next year at this time when we're fighting for a CBI spot, the new mantra is "you can't win with freshman, he needs time to let these kids mature." Even though it will be 5 years of not being in the top 68, we definitely lose Goss and good chance Murray is 1 and done. It's a vicious fucking cycle and the excuse makers allow shitty results. If Romar's not gone, Woody is back to pool boy again and he lucked out that peterman wanted to move.

Goss was a 5 star. Darin Johnson, Dorsey are 4 stars. What does it matter?
