Right where we should be to start the year. I’m very excited to see how we stack up with Wichita St (and Michigan if we win the first one).

If we beat Wichita St and Michigan, they're going to name a campus building after Lloyd.

Instead of trying to lick the sphincter of whoever the next abject failure is, we should maybe venerate those who have actually won and have their programs on the right track.

Just because Tommy Boy wins a couple games with Sean Miller’s team doesn’t mean anything. If you’re looking for a coach to canonize and admire, Adia Barnes is the one who deserves it.

Okay, guess I'll head over to the thread for the women's team, then?

If that's even remotely true, we're in for a long slog this season. Can't do much in today's game without at least one dependable 3-point shooter. Most good teams have 2 or 3 guys who can do this.

I think the bball program and the FB program are way different, and so are the coaches.

Anyone hired by Booby Bobbins is automatically assumed by me not to be able to coach their way out of a wet paper bag.

Tommy Boy is going to get his shot to disabuse me of my prejudice real soon.

To me, your “reasonable goals” are minimums. Those are things I expected of Miller this season and he was fired so we could have better on court results.

Just one fucking game.

So far that’s been a tall order…

This "if he doesn't achieve right now what Miller could have maybe achieved" mentality is a great way to stay mad.

Glad someone said this. I've never seen this degree of angst from AZ fans.

however, i fully appreciate and understand the wait and see approach - the one thing im most happy about that was caused by the departure of Miller is the subtraction of James Akinjo.

his vacancy immediately ups the overall vibe and provides tremendous opportunity for Mathurin and Tubelis to take the team over - their style and personality fits the new head coaches system much better than the aforementioned.

agreed, it's pretty remarkable...the boards are not fun places to go to right now, feels like half of the posters have already made up their (feeble) minds on Tommy being a bad hire...season can't come soon enough. it was very clear to any rational Arizona fan that Miller's time had come and gone, and imo Tommy was the best realistic hire we could have made this offseason - Onward!!

97cats wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 10:58 am oh good god stop the in-fighting.

Miller did so many amazing things at Arizona its natural for die hard fans to still be a little perturbed at the way he was let go, and annoyed at the almost comical way the administration has ignored all his tremendous accomplishments as if he didnt exist, filling his void with a career assistant coach....sorry HOF career assistant coach.

ive said on here many times im excited for the change, excited to watch a new style, and generally excited for a new voice, its time, IMNSHO.

however, i fully appreciate and understand the wait and see approach - the one thing im most happy about that was caused by the departure of Miller is the subtraction of James Akinjo.

Our soccer coach has won 3 games so far so there is that. Although we have are having our worst season since at least a decade which seems to be a theme.

Fair enough. If your reasonable goals are different, let's hear em.
