Roundball
I laughed when he said WSU should keep Bone because Ro often stinks and he never gets fired.
I hate March Madness.
It could be the best time of the year.

BTW Ro is a poor man's Neuheisel.mobey said:Could someone please explain again how Ro is really a good coach and finishing in the bottom half of the Pac is really good considering no one would want to attend UW vs Utah or Oregon for example and how there's no talent, ever, out of Washington state?

I like how now that Arizona is good and UCLA is in 2nd the PAC 12 will all of a sudden get 6 or 7 teams in the dance even though the rest of the PAC is fucking terrible

No, it's not explainable or excusable. When thinking about the state of Husky basketball, I can't avoid thinking back to the year when UW was first in conference, lost in the Pac championship tournament, and was not invited to the NCAA's March Madness with 20+ wins. How could that have been due to an off-year in the Pac when the NCAA selection committee always invites a gang of unknown small schools who haven't beaten anybody as 10-12 seed sacrificial lambs? I've always suspected there must be something wrong with Romar as a person to be ignored, disrespected, or unlikeable in his sport. He may be a better than average teacher or mentor and get more out of his players than we should expect, but that can't make up for the fact that he doesn't recruit worth spit.
Husky basketball could use a complete makeover, but that's not going to happen. -

I honestly don't understand the LoRo hate.

I don't hate Romar. As with all UW coaches, I want them all to succeed in ABUNDANCE, but realize there is an end to everything. Romar is a great Husky. His playing days and coaching record affirm that. His program has flatlined, however. Everything is stale from the style of play, to recruiting, to attendance. I hate to say it because I like Romar, but something has to change. He was criticized before as being the twin coaching brother of Ernie Kent (without the two elite eights) but the comparison is inescapable.sarktastic said:I honestly don't understand the LoRo hate.

He isn't going anywhere. He'll win again. Until he does, Romar will catch heat.

UW basketball in 2014 reminds me of UW football in 1988-89. Back then, Don James was feeling the heat and reconfigured his approach -- with great success. James did not have an unlimited time frame back then to turn things around (turns out he did it starting in 1990). Romar, as awesome a Husky as he is, should not have a lot of time either. Win or GTFO. Simple fact, even for a UW Hall of Famer, or at least it should be.sarktastic said:He isn't going anywhere. He'll win again. Until he does, Romar will catch heat.

Romar needs to stay in the program, but quit as the coach. He's a husky. But his time has run the course. I wish Tony Bennett would consider UW. Tho i highly doubt he would.
