Stop it with this doogism. Romar went to four out of six of his NCAAs without Bone, including 2 of the three Sweet 16s. And massive lol at the idea Dollar was an X's and O's guy. If he was worth a damn at X's and O's he wouldn't be a complete failure at Seattle U.DerekJohnson said:His philosophy wasn't dying. He was reliant on Cameron Dollar and Ken Bone for X's and O's. As soon as they left, we lost all discipline and competency.
It was Roy and IT (plus Nate/Will/Bobby and Brockman/Pondexter/MBA) that elevated those first teams. Not two coaches who have sucked total ass since leaving. -
Wroten was a bust, and another one-and-done distraction. Agree on the others.doogville said:The failure is still remarkable. Romar has had two teams with two 1st round picks that he couldn't sniff the tourney with (Ross/wroten, Murray/Chriss).
Other teams miss with a single superstar surrounded by dreck (similar to fultz), but two superstars? And twice?
That's stunning. -
Wroten had flaws but he was still pretty good. I know many disagree but he was an All Conference player that had stretches where he was the best player on the team.TurdBuffer said:

Gaddy was the true bust and that team had nobody in the front court. The conference was horrible. And Romar was the coach. -
Yea, wroten was an insane talent. Imagine if he would have been coached up...RoadDawg55 said:

Wroten sucked in large part because he always believed his press clippings and never understood what it took to be successful

Romar also had no idea how to adapt to the new rules on hand checking. When his pressure defense started getting called every time they touched someone the fouls racked up and the starters went to the bench. I saw something where after the rule change in preseason Coach Cal had his players hands tied behind their back when working on defense. No touching, only use your feet. He did that pre year fucking one of the rule change. Romar kept things status quo and eventually gave up on pressure and switched to a zone. Blamed the athleticism of his players. Zero adjustments or teaching, just a clueless mess.

There's a drill that I always think back on with regards to defense ... you take a towel, roll it up like you are about to slap someone in the ass/balls with it ... place the towel behind your back and hold with both hands ... now stay in front of the offensive playertheknowledge said:Romar also had no idea how to adapt to the new rules on hand checking.

Good defense starts with making sure you're in position with your feet first and then using your hands to take advantage of sloppy ball handling or bad shot selection ... all reaching does is pick up fouls and get you out of position. -
TIL @Tequilla singlehandedly caused the downfall of UW basketball by outcoaching Romar while balling out at the IMA with Elston Turner.

Reminds me of this other drill where you take a towel and hold it over someone's face and have them try to do a sit up. Then you have your buddy stand over the guy and position his bare ass right over the guy's face while he's trying to do the sit up.Tequilla said:

I get the feeling this is the type of drill that Romar emphasized at his practices
