Not good for my health to think about the UCONN game....

that shot put them up 6 with under 2 left, raftery (the crazy fuck who yells onions all the time) even called it the dagger the second after he hit it.RoadDawg55 said:
I forgot how good Jamaal "The Black Hole" Williams played. I remember him lining up a 3 late in the game and swishing it. It was a textbook, "No, no, no. Great shot Jamaal!"dnc said:
Yes, Appleby's defense was atrocious (it's why I mentioned his contributions to the loss earlier in the thread). But serious downvote for the bolded part. Teams hit threes against good defense at the end of games all the time. You coul because it takes away that chance. You especially foul when your best players have fouled out and your stuck with Ryan Appleby on the court at money time.Tequilla said:For those that like to blame a loss on Mike Jensen against UConn, the defense played on the Anderson tying 3 by Ryan Appleby was fucking terrible. Downright fucking terrible.
If you want one play in the history of a Romar led program that shows just terrible coaching, it's that play.
And fuck the whole concept of fouling when up 3 ... I get the logic. It's all well and fne. But if you play good defense in those situations ... you shouldn't have to resort to fouling.

Appleby
Romar
It took a team effort to overcome the greatest game of Mal Mal's life.
3:53 on the video. It really took a special team effort to fuck that game up, same with the UNC game where they defended and shot better than they had all season and fucked the game up with TO's

Why did I just watch that shit again?
I had blocked out of my mind how much of an assist the officiating gave UConn in that one.

Instead of straight fouling when up 3, I'd like to see teams go full aggression mode for a steal. If you create the turnover, you win. If you don't, you foul in the process and likely preserve the win anyway.
It's the best sportsman approach IMO. -
Fuck.... We had some damn good talent

Suddenly, Husky Basketball while a disappointment and not good enough to pack Hec Ed for every fucking home game with raucous fanatics, is not a loser, but some kind of borderline non-loser. The University of Washington we are told, has a long tradition of winning more basketball games than not and thus when it comes time to buy tickets and donate money for the privilege of doing so, there's no reason why we shouldn't just live in the past and wait for the current coach to retire gracefully in his own time at his own speed.
This has the familiar and nauseating sound of the old school, loyalty driven apology for continuing mediocrity that we heard and read so much of during the build-up to 0-12 in football. It's even more disgusting when applied to a loser's excuse for a Husky basketball program that at least in my long 50 year Husky lifetime has not come close to the brass ring. Who can recall the last time UW made it to the Final Four, much less have the audacity to compare UW glory favorably to that of Pac-12 powers Arizona and UCLA? The doogs abide. -
Romar doesn't cheat. The going rate for an Aaron Gordon type of player is $250K. Doesn't excuse his "Deer in the Headlights" on the court coaching but Great talent over comes poor coaching.

You don't have to cheat to be good ...
I wonder what the budget is at Wichita State for their "recruiting" efforts? -
YouArentABasketballschoolTailgater said: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.
