Cohen talks Romar

How do you figure?DerekJohnson said:The B-Roy and Nate team way underachieved
The #1 seeded team with Nate lost to a Louisville team that was a terrible matchup for UW because they could abuse them on the interior/rebounding and the zone that they played was long enough to be able to keep our ability to penetrate to a minimum and force us to shoot from distance (wasn't our strength).
The BRoy team that lost to UConn was Romar's best shot at getting to a Final Four and they really found ways to lose that game. I still get pissed at how bad the defense was on the game tying 3 at the end of regulation (and it has nothing to do with the decision to foul or not foul). There were a lot of things that went wrong in that game ... but there were a lot of things that went right as well. -
Didn't listen to it but if that was the tone by Cohen hen my guess is that behind closed doors Romar was being a dick and telling her she couldn't fire him because of the next recruiting class and she probaby said fuck you.

Fuck you! That's my name. Hit the bricks pal

Or that Cohen would have fired Romar well before now if she really had control but the timing wasn't ideal given when she took over the job officially last year (couldn't have made the move as interim AD) ... the fact that Romar imploded made it really easy for her to make the change without being overly opposed by those inside the UW community ... the Seattle hoops community is a completely different issue altogether ... but they've been largely content with doing less with more and not living up to expectations for a while now.Meek said:Didn't listen to it but if that was the tone by Cohen hen my guess is that behind closed doors Romar was being a dick and telling her she couldn't fire him because of the next recruiting class and she probaby said fuck you.

Life lesson: Be careful who are a dick to on the way up because they can fuck you on the way back down.Meek said:Didn't listen to it but if that was the tone by Cohen hen my guess is that behind closed doors Romar was being a dick and telling her she couldn't fire him because of the next recruiting class and she probaby said fuck you.

I love the non-pc way she speaks and tells it like it is (sounds like the female version of Coach Pete)

Two comments were telling: First was her saying over last year it was obvious both the on and off court b-ball results were broke and second later in the interview saying the program was so bad overall that the "current management" would be unable to fix it.
Tequilla is exactly right in that you don't come to that conclusion in just a years time. Had she not been the intern AD March 2016 on the job for about a month she would have pulled the plug last year. -

There is a very real thing in coaching that happens when you have your best team and don't get to the mountain top. I've personally seen it happen to a handful of high school coaches and a Pac-12 football coach. Look at it from LoRo's angle. He had Brandon Roy and Nasty Nate and couldn't even get to a regional final.CuntWaffle said:Doesn't surprise me. Remember in an interview earlier this year with NWG he said they didn't even watch film when he was at UW? Lol
Romar threw in the towel a long time ago.
When you pay people state lottery salary you have to be very watchful of how much they really care. I've been told by more than a few people that Slingblade was a different person after the Ohip State game. Mariota isn't walking through the door again and you're guaranteed to be worth $20+ million win or lose. -
You pay these guys pro-type money, it shouldn't be any surprise when pro-type expectations come along with it.Mosster47 said:

If Pete Carroll missed the playoffs for six years in a row, his ass would be terminated. Period. End of story.
And that's in a business that makes money. College athletic budgets are generally in the red every year.
These long-term sliders are just that, sliders. Romar DNGAF about the program with his $3M+ severance. He's banging Costa Rican waitresses or doing blow off hookers's asses or whatever it is that people that have made millions over the past 15 years do. (yes, I sound poor, I know).
