For the love of god, BTO doesn't love Cuonzo, he loves the university. His posts are in support of the team, not necessarily the coach. People just make ridiculous accusations about the coach.

thankfully Harold Ramis is dead and didn't have to hear this attempt at comedy

It's quite sad that this type of parody is even possible! When Martin first came aboard, I thought it could be a good move. This is the first time I have really jumped off the bandwagon. Pardon me, BleedingtnOrange, but when a coach inaugurates his 1-3-1 defense against Alabama at the fifteen minute mark, runs it the rest of the game, and expands a 6 point lead to a 17 point win, and never uses it more than a couple of minutes until the Florida game where he held them scoreless for seven minutes of the last eight before reverting to man-to-man, and then it does not show up for a minute or two against Georgia, Missouri and Texas A & M, there is something wrong with the thought process.

Blame it on our perimeter defense, not the coach. The 1-3-1 makes us very vulnerable to the 3 ball, and unfortunately we suck at defending the perimeter. A&M hit 3s, Georgia hit 3s, and Florida hit 3s.

How about blaming it on your suck up job to one of the worst coaches in UT history.

You're a pessimist.

You think Cuonzo is worse than this? Are you blind? I don't like Cuonzo, infact I want Bruce back. But to say he is one of the WORST coaches ever? Are you serious? Wade

Cuonzo Martin is not that bad. Way better than Pearls predecessors. Just not even close to Pearl :p

Yeah, I wonder who is making the players run that defense? Weird.

When Martin came aboard, I immediately thought that it was a bad move.

(1) Anytime that you have a top ten list and you hire # 12, it is not a good sign of things to come. Nothing personally against Martin, it could have been any # 12 on a list of top 10 and it would not be a good move.

Think back at all of the coaches who (1) didn't want the job, but Hamilton was interested in them (2) coaches who were interested but Hamilton wasn't willing to pay them enough or (3) coaches who were interested but Hamilton was not interested in them.

Yeah, if you read what I was responding to you'd realize I was responding to why we don't run the 1-3-1. Nice try though.

No, understood perfectly. But we suck at guarding the perimeter (your words). Now, who is responsible for our defensive scheme that causes us to suck at guarding the perimeter.

Go ahead, it's ok to say it. Let go.

We run the 1-3-1 to stop drives and to force an outside shot. I was responding to the individual who was complaining about why we don't run the 1-3-1 more often. We do NOT run the 1-3-1 often because we are a liability on the perimeter defense. We are a liability on the perimeter because of the defense style, not because of our personnel or bad coaching. If you understood basic zones or defenses you would understand better.

Oh OK, so I don't understand basketball or defensive schemes. Got it.

Get over yourself. Our coach can't coach these players. That's why we suck defensively.

Get over myself? Look in the mirror buddy! The 1-3-1 is a flawed defense what do you not get about that?
