Your right. I was wrong . No one in this thread said Tommy was mediocre coach. It wasn't in this thread.....now go back and review the Arizona 24-25 thread and tell me the same thing. Sorry I confused the threads but don't tell me it was a fucking lie. You can make this personal and remind us how connected you are and how you never post but when you do it is with great authority all you want. Please don't tell us you never said that. What you just wrote above is Tommy pulled a rabbit out of his hat despite all his fuck ups. You remind us how we started and ended the season but what happened in between? Let's not talk about any positive shit here. You talk about this roster having the worst accountability....must have been one of your magical connection that told you that. I call bullshit on that. It might be true but YOU would never know it if it was. Your narrative explains the losing but ignores any winning. I guess we had accountability then and it slipped away.JMarkJohns wrote: Tue Mar 11, 2025 6:10 am Ironically TheCat is the only one in this thread calling Tommy a mediocre coach.
Reviewing the thread it’s something he completely made up to emphasize his point. A nice little “When The Fuck Did We Get Ice Cream?!” lie he told to try and command the moment.
Who the fuck said Lloyd was a mediocre coach? I said this is a mediocre season by Arizona standards, largely because the roster is incomplete, a mediocre assemblage by Lloyd after 4 offseasons to create it.
One facilitator
Four centers
No playable wing shooting
No post defense
No perimeter three defense
Stifled top freshman role
Too little accountability for Love and Lewis
Lacking frontcourt athleticism and size due to Trey and Awaka both being several inches short and below the rim players for their position, starting alongside each other for 75% of the season.
Team had major issues, everyone of them a Lloyd choice, and they finished 5-10 vs Tournament teams, 0-5 to begin, 0-4 to end
Lloyd maxed the hell out of that roster year one Big12. Hell, if they don’t choke vs UCLA and close out vs Houston and BYU, they would be a top-15 rank despite all this.
But they did choke vs UCLA. And several other teams that ended up wins, and vs Houston that was a Loss, and stumbled down stretch vs Kansas that was a loss, and allowed themselves to be in a situation where Tony Padilla could screw them over at home vs unranked team, and lose to non-tourney team again in February, etc etc.
This squad is the worst full roster Tommy has had, and, it has had some of the worst accountability, which, shockingly, means they play like crap late game and lose more than they win when it matters.
Not sure how this is even an argument.
Since Tommy max the hell out of the roster why won't he do it again?
You obviously don't like your narrative challenged with all your connections and stuff. Sorry if I insulted you I was just trying to "command the moment" whatever the fuck that means on a message board.
