Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

UW basketball ?

Yes, it sucks by any measure. The Husky men's BB team is once again looking forward to an NIT first round elimination. And as the 2014 season winds down, we try to avoid watching Romar's hapless crew on the court while keeping an eye on his recruiting struggles. There never seems to be as much hope for improvement as there is a wish for drastic program change....... somehow, someday.

What is the problem? Why can't basketball at Montlake catch fire? Is it anything other than the product on the court? Facilities, travel, lack of local talent, etc? UW round-ballers compete in probably the laziest major conference in the NCAA and yet, the Huskies seem like they are every year trying to out-lazy everybody else in the Pac-12 except possibly Arizona or a California school. Blaming membership in a weak basketball conference seems lame for shouldn't it be more logical that the Pac-12 offers a wide open opportunity for any member school to light a fire in it's belly and dominate?

Forget about the questions and look at the obvious. Coach Romar is far from getting the job done and needs to go and it makes no sense to waste time rationalizing why. That was probably cast-in-concrete when he failed to advance his program beyond the two Sweet-16 rounds he coached the Huskies to years back. Woodward must focus on budgeting the money for hiring a new coach and this time make it enough to get the best basketball mind, mentor, and recruiter money can buy. UW must do a Lute Olson and "steal" a coach with staff away from one of the hot-beds of basketball in the East, Mideast, Southeast, etc. UW can't continue to play lazy West Coast basketball and expect to put a product on the court worth getting excited about.

    I said a couple years ago and I say it again.... Romar is a racist. His racism is beginning to show in wins and losses.

    Huh?

  • I said a couple years ago and I say it again.... Romar is a racist. His racism is beginning to show in wins and losses.

    Romar has a lot of problems but not being more white players isn't one of them.

    His best teams the 2005 and 2006 team had only one white guy in the rotation and he cost us a final four.

    Rest my case.

    He wasn't part of 2005 and he actually didn't do bad in that UCONN game. He stole the ball and passed on a wide open shot but playing the clock down for the final shot instead I didn't mind that.

    Brockman was also on the 2006 team but the only white guy in the rotation on the #1 seeded team was Jensen.

    The only white players worth a damn in the Romar era were Brockman and Hawes.

    I also forgot Artem Wallace and his terrific free throw shooting, as well as other legends like Hans Gasser, Martin Bruenig, this new white fuck who couldn't hack it at Florida Atlantic.

    Gonzaga is a global brand.

    Gonzaga gets a lot of notoriety in the state because Wazzu and UW give them a helping hand by sucking ass most every year. If you live in WA and you like college basketball who are you going to watch? After Romar got some of the best recruits Seattle has ever seen, he should have kept that momentum going. As has been said, his laziness let us fall back into this 10' turd hole. It's been said a few times on this bored, but if you're UW BB, you're the only basketball team in an urban area that loves the sport. There's no excuse to suck this badly.

    Why do you idiots keep referring to the smoking white guys Romar does recruit?

    I am talking about the white guys Romar refuses to recruit. One decent white player will keep the brothers in line and make them work harder.

    Romar's lack of recruiting quality athletes that are white is creating perineal CBI teams

    Agreed! I'm not saying white is better than black.... Or vice versa.

    All I am saying is Romar has an AGENDA. He is raysiss.

    It gets tiring hearing that we're not a traditional BB power so being MEDIOCRE is fine and dandy.

    By that level of expectation, the Hawks should have never won the SB and instead should have been content with being a wild card team every third year.

    Romar got the fat contract and got fat and lazy which coupled with his questionable coaching skills is a killer.

    Please explain how Mark Flipping Few can get better talent at GU than can be attracted to UW, despite their obvious flameout in the NCAA?

    How good would transfers Coleman and Nunez be on an up tempo UW team but somehow decided riding Skellator's bench was better?

    Can we pls get a coach for UW ball?

    The simple explanation is that UW basketball is and has for most of it's history and tradition been a loser. That's not just a symptom of losing, but a fatal disease. For all those who've tried to get fanatical about our basketball program, it's possible to understand what it must be like to be a football fan or fan of any ball that bounces in Pullmania. Still, living the experience can never be a loser's excuse.

    I don't disagree.

    What I do disagree with is the assumption that it's set in stone or that a great coach would have the same results.

    Has our past 20 years of football experience not taught us anything about the difference - GOOD OR BAD - that coaching brings to college sports???

    Romar needs to be canned at the end of the season.
