Lol screw this team

This team played their a$$ off and got back in a game that got away from them. Maybe you should find something else to screw. Lots of luck.

Whose job is it to prepare the players properly and instill mental discipline in them? I'm a fan of Barnes, but this constant "he can't be held responsible for for how the players perform" nonsense is crazy.

I just held him responsible. Maybe you prefer a public execution?

 

[Govolsman98]

These guys need some rest.

When's the bye week?

Lol screw this team

That’s the spirit

 

[Leeleesteeth]

How is Santi missing his FTs the fault of Barnes?

Mentally lazy people have mentally lazy analyses on things. I think it's your fault for not being negative enough.

They’ll get some rest if they keep playing like this. Straight onto the couch after the first round exit

Players failing to execute is on him. Your post said it wasn't.

When's the bye week?

Between our first SEC tourney game and our first NCAA tourney game.

How is it not the fault of Barnes?

I tried.

[Orange.]

When's the bye week?

This is sort of bye week.

Just AL and at KY.

Forgot that one but nothing is for sure with this team at this point.

“Yes.”

He wasn't the one taking the shots??

You can't absolve a coach of everything. We lost to a bad team and a double digit underdog. The coach is responsible for preparation, discipline, practice, everything. Every loss is on him, every win is on him.

I didn't absolve the coach of everything. I absolved him for the things mentioned. There's still a lot out of his control. Who gets injured. How the opponents suddenly start hitting on 50% of their 3's. How his best shooter suddenly can't hit free throws to ice games. Stuff like that.

Maybe the glaring coaching mistake was the gameplan going in, and that's on the staff (and players for not executing).

 

[Nash_Vol97]

I think his shoulder or something else have been nagging him and we won't know until the offseason

He’s had issues with it all season. I’m sure it’s had an impact.

 

[VOL608]

This team’s head is in the gutter. Too many mistakes. Don’t blink and they might be a 4 seed in the tournament. Can’t have a lane violation at the free throw line.

 

[SoilVol]

it's hilarious how many of you bail when our teams hit a slump. be a fan and ride or die. otherwise stfu

Preach

Something has to happen to wake them up. Reminds a little of how the team that lost to Colorado was playing.

 

[BJHSVol]

After this game it’s clear how important JJJ is to this team- we are the best offensively when he is at the 4. Need him to get healthy

 

[Weezer]

If Barnes is responsible for Santi missing his FTs, does Barnes also get to sleep with Santi's GF?

 

[VolNash17]

It’s always funny to me when they’re like well the players! Yeah well who brought in those players? Lol

 

[jave36]

He wasn't the one taking the shots??

Whose job is it to make sure his team is good at free throws (one of the easiest things to coach)? Whose teams have been bad at free throws for years? You think it's just luck that some teams are good at free throws? That's coaching, it's practice, it's discipline.
