Nice job basketball Vols

[tennezz]

And yet I bet some of you still love Butch.

Yeah I know, 3rd year, but we'll see.

You will to after the 3rd year, but you probably will not admit it.

 

[VolFootballlover]

No comparison. How many top 5 recruiting classes has CCM had?

thig is the only reason you can say that

Oh ok lol

 

[PineyBluff Vol]

At least KY lost...

Kentuck' is light years ahead of this team from what I saw last night. Veteran players playing like they do not have a clue. Brick by brick, they must have built two houses on the backboards the way they shot free throws. All in all, not impressed with what I saw!

 

[LordVOLdemort]

For playing flat for 39 minutes and laying an egg, AGAIN! Coach Martin obviously doesn't have a clue when it comes to motivating his team. This has been a trend for 3 years. No excuse to shoot FT's like a bunch of grade school girls!! Ridiculous!

My little sister's team actually shoots FTs pretty well, way better than 7-19 I can assure you...

Alot of girls shoot them well - he should have used Shaq as an example

Basketball Dooley.

1 game
1st game
Good Opponent
Always hard to win on the road

 

[knowthevols]

Yeah because Pearl left the cupboard loaded, didn't he?

Two starters left over from Pearl and Pearl was recruiting Stokes at the time of his dismissal.

 

[Stoked]

Basketball Dooley.

Yeah Dooley wasn't 3-0 vs Florida and never beat a ranked team...nice try though

 

[Stoked]

Also Dooley didn't never did beat every single coach in the SEC...Martin has

 

[volboy81]

If Martin is as boring in the locker room & on the coaching floor as he is in interviews, I can see why there is no passion in his teams but good grief, they acted like they'd never shot a ball before...& nice foul shooting too!

lol, ok. Basketball and Football in the SEC are not quite the same beast.

What I see with Martin is a man who is a bit bashful, so he plays the, I'm cool, laid back, quite bad ass role.
That's ok I suppose when your hanging with your buds but as a basketball coach you have to have the fire and show it to your team, the opposing team, the officials. If not your teams will not have the fire and you will get steam rolled.
Wade Houston's demeanor comes to mind.

I love and hate these threads at the same time. I hate them because they're so damn stupid, love them because I get to come back a few times this season to make fun of the bashers.

Come back. I'll be here analyzing each game on its own merit. If you can't handle facts, don't read. If you don't think CM has coaching problems he has to fix right now, you should watch another sport.

Basketball Dooley.

Couldn't agree more! Martin is such a bad coach. An ok recruiter, a bad motivator and just a bad coach. He needs to go. Our program is in a good place that we could get a fresh young smart coach!

And to the poster who said "Dooley, never beat Florida, nice try", it's not the same. There are only 12 games in football and all of them matter as you only play each team once. plus, any team can get lucky in basketball and take down a powerhouse. Why do you think March Madness is so great? Do you think a George Mason could beat Bama in football? No, but they can beat Duke in basketball!

Go away Cuonzo and all you Cuonzo lovers! He'll miss the tourney yet again this year and then what? What will the excuse be then?

Sure thing princess, thank God we have a VN poster to analyze college basketball! :crazy:

Don't read it.

Don't read it.

I usually could care less about the way I speak to people on a message board but I owe you an apology. I had an incredibly frustrating morning to top off the game last night. That's no excuse to act like a d bag, though. Apologies

No problem man. We've all been there. Good place to vent.

No worries
