It's almost as if people don't understand how google works.Gladstone said:Lorenzo Romar is a coach the University should keep. He is everything you want in a coach. Unfortunately for Lorenzo and the basketball program injuries are a big problem, top recruits head off to the NBA early and succeed. His top coaches all get plucked away and sign with other schools. From what I have seen Coach Romar has had to fight through a lot adversity, lost talent, coaching changes. The UW would do best by keeping Coach Romar.
The nba draft, nor players intent is a real mystery. Injuries have not been a major problem for UW, well ever. Fultz would be playing if they were UCLA.
He has had almost the same coaching staff for years. His two big losses(bone/Cam) are not good. TJ left after one year. He was told to fire his staff 5 or 6 years ago and brought in chil, jackson, etc. Good assistants come from winning teams, not teams who can't make a 68 team tourney. -

▼Ugh, I'm tired of repeating myself endlessly.
I’ve laid out repeatedly why we absolutely can’t do it this year, and no one has a presented a decent argument for doing it now, because there isn’t one. Not that’s based on logic, foreward thinking and the best interests of the program.
Yes, Romar deserves to be fired. I don’t care about Romar, I care about UW basketball, and we absolutely, positively need him for one more year.
Answer me this. What comes out better if we fire Romar now, instead of in a year?
Next year? Much worse.
The year after? Much, MUCH worse.
Talent in the program? Much worse.
Money situation? Again, much worse, which means…
Next coach? Almost certainly worse.
Long-term outlook? Night and day worse. The difference between the next level up and the next level down.
Yes, if this was football, you would fire him. Football and basketball are not the same thing.

That post was actually +recd on the doogpound. Why do we have the stupidest fans in the country?

HAHAHAHAHA
If there are a couple better options that look like a truly viable long-term candidates to the AD, move on. If there aren’t, then don’t. Change for the sake of change is expensive as hell. We don’t have any money. We actually have negative 14 million dollars. If the next couple years aren’t going to go well, let’s not bankrupt the athletic department in addition to the product on the court.
Some people want to hire Brandon Roy. A coach with one year of HS basketball coaching experience with the best player in the country. To take over a division 1 program and "save it". Brandon Roy. Holy shit.
Who’s coming here? What "big name" or "top notch" coach is coming to Washington for less money than he’d make at a more established basketball school with better facilities, a better recruiting situation, and more donor support? Bobby Knight is available I heard. -
Go down the low IQ militant Pollyanna checklist on that one.

Again, Doog Echo Chamber and Confirmation Bias. That person has no conception of the budget, how much money the AD has, to which funds the AD has access or what the opinion of Porter/Porter Sr is if they get the RIGHT new coach if Romar sticks around in some capacity within the AD.Gladstone said:▼Ugh, I'm tired of repeating myself endlessly.

Morons keep repeating the generic reasons to keep him and eventually they think there's no way around them. -

Dawgs likely to lose the other recruits as well and maybe some of the holdovers. We'll be starting from zero.

I don't understand this decision. Sure this season was a total failure by any measure BUT what is gained firing Romar at this point? We will lose the #2 recruiting class in the country and any chance at being relevant next year. Why wouldn't Cohen allow him to coach through next season and then make a decision on the direction of the program? All this decision does is leave UW without a coach, the best recruiting class in school history and now starting over in a total rebuild.

I didn't dream the AD would dump all those recruits like this.
Sure, Romar was done. But it made sense to me to do with him like he did with players so often lately: One and done. Give him one more...and THEN done.
I was looking forward to watching the team next year. Now, not so much. Thybulle, Crisp and Dickerson won't sell tickets. And no one ever buys tickets to see a new coach.
Get ready for a lotta space in Hec Ed for, oh, about 3-4 years. -

I certainly hope the BEST for Mr. Romar because most people thought he was a GREAT coach! I hope it wasn't a White man who fired him because there might be some protests over it. Doesn't take much these days to upset people around, "Freeattle!!!" -
Why on earth wouldn't you fire him next year!?!
Everyone knows the program’s been underperforming. Fire him when it’s smart to fire him, not when he deserves it. That’s idiotic.
Sure, you don’t fire him if he makes the Final Four next year, but you don’t keep him just cause he makes the Tournament next year. Any coach in D1 could have made the Dance with what we would have had!
You do what’s right for your program, not what people expect you to do. Again, unless she has a strong plan and the money to implement it, and it goes into motion right now, this is a monumentally stupid decision.
Although it is possible that Romar didn’t give her a choice. But I doubt that.

To go along with all the pro-doog comments, Ian Furness wants to remind everyone that UW is losing a lot of money and couldn't afford to buy romar out without boosters. He loves his broke ass programs.

You want to applaud firing a shit coach? Seems like the obvious move.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

UW ran in the positive this past year, so fuck off Furness. It's one of the reasons it was probably a bit easier to take on that buyout hit.haie said:To go along with all the pro-doog comments, Ian Furness wants to remind everyone that UW is losing a lot of money and couldn't afford to buy romar out without boosters.

Bonehead move by people who know nothing about college basketball, from the UW AD to the author of this article.
Cohen let the Petersen hire get to her head. She didn't hire Petersen, Petersen picked us.
What real coach will want to come here with a bare cupboard, and an AD who just nuked the best recruiting class in the history of the program?
You guys are obsessed about the NCAA tournament, we won't see it this decade at least. With Romar we would have had a shot at it next year. We almost made it last year, but refs swallowed the whistle when OSU travelled. That call killed our program, turns out.
By giving him at least one more year, you at least get this recruiting class in the door, so we have a more attractive team with which to attract our next coach if Romar underperforms again.
This was not Willingham, not even close. The team was playing hard to the end. We just got killed by all of the early draft entries, and lack of depth. Yeah, Romar had flaws but Cohen just killed the hoop program, just like Hedges destroyed UWFootball. She thought she was smarter than Don James, too, it took two decades to fix that, and UW hoop tradition can't hold a candle to UW Football tradition.
My over/under on getting the next hire right is 3 1/2 hires. You wont get a Chris Petersen, what real coach will take over a 2-16 team, a WAC recruiting class and an AD who knows nothing about basketball but mumbles something about Championships every year? You would be lucky to get a Sark, under the circumstances.
Stupid, stupid move, due to the timing. Next year, ok, evaluate. You don't break up a 15-year marriage over one bad year.
Sign me, former Hec Ed scrub during Harshman era (Harshman was also similarly kicked out, for a much better performance....but the fallout will be the same....idiots!) -

I have to disagree with Matt Calkins on this. Matt makes good and logical points, and the eventual dismissal of Coach Romar may have been inevitable, however I disagree with the timing. After such a horrible year, doesn't he deserve the chance to show that this is correctable? Even if he weren't welcoming the nation's #3 recruiting class it seems only right to give him this chance.
This is not some throw away guy, after all. He is the winningest coach in program history. A former Husky player. A guy who exudes the character of what we all want to see in college students. By jettisoning such a fine man, Jen Cohen must know that she must hire someone MUCH BETTER than Coach Romar. No lateral talent will suffice. No fill in will do.
Jen, why didn't you tell Coach Romar that he has one more year. If he makes the tournament next year, then we can talk about a contract extension, if not than we can amicably part ways. He could have gracefully left on good terms. Coach deserves a more dignified exit than what he was given.
This isn't even considering the huge effort in rebuilding that this change will take. New coaches. Lost recruits. Buy-in. Now everyone's new savior seems to be Brandon Roy. Who knows, but whoever it is he will have big shoes to fill.
It looked pretty good that next year might have been a tournament team...now, it all depends on how many of these superstar recruits decide to fulfill their commitment and who Jen hires.
All across the country, basketball courts bear the signature of their winningest coach. Coach K court, Coach Boeheim court, etc. If the UW ever wants to do this for Coach Romar, it will always be a reminder of the premature way in which he was dismissed.
Thank you Coach Romar for never embarrassing. For always taking the high road. For giving fifteen years as a coach and even more as a student-athlete. Wherever you land, the welcoming party there will be greeting a very good man. -
