Nell Fortner May be auditioning for the job?
And of course according to Coach Aston the biggest problem is still the defense.
This is not meant as a dig, but this is what I have been saying all along.I’m sorry but it’s not premature. Even if you can’t get a big name you STILL have to make the move. If were all being honest with ourselves we know nothings going to change because it hasn’t since she’s been at Texas.
Ok... You want a pat on the back?This is not meant as a dig, but this is what I have been saying all along.
Not at all, and I have no intention of arguing with you or anyone else. But I was ridiculed for telling the truth, and so many defended her over and over again..... I don't need a pat on the back, but everything I said has come to fruition. ENOUGH SAID......Ok... You want a pat on the back?
By premature, I mean there will be no change this early or even mid-season. End of season, another story...I’m sorry but it’s not premature. Even if you can’t get a big name you STILL have to make the move. If were all being honest with ourselves we know nothings going to change because it hasn’t since she’s been at Texas.
Joyner was kind of shading the coaching staff a little bit by saying they dont know which lineups work well together and which ones don't and saying they didnt realize something Arizona was doing offensively until the 2nd half so she seems to understand the problem is coachingJust doesn’t understand the lack of aggression? How about poor coaching and the team knows it now! That team looked unorganized and mentally beat coming out of the gate.
If Texas loses to North Texas in Hawaii it’s over! She will never get the team back. She may resign on her on?
None of them should even be candidates. It's there fault to that this team looks like this and they shouldn't at all because its alot of talent on this team but she doesnt know what to do with them and how to use them. Aston seems like she just doesn't care. She never tries to get her team fired up she just sits there with a stoned look hoping jesus will just come down and put some spark into the game. I hope CDC sees its time for a change and not give her multiple chances like he has with shaka smart.Aston's body language on the sideline and at the news conference is atrocious. She seems lost. Holmes and Sutton didn't want to be at the news conference. I kept thinking as they were trying to shove the microphone away that one or both might get up and leave. That news conference is all anybody needs to see. I can come up with the scenario after NC State, North Texas, Tennessee, Stanford finish, that CDC just might make a mid-season change. However, if he did, who do you elevate? Jamie Carey, never. Washington, no. Terry Nooner is too new. So will lousy options, I think she survives a very painful season for all. That pain is for players, coaches, media, fans and I think CDC. What a mess.
Barnes did a great job as a young coach.It's refreshing to see a team execute good fundamental basketball on both ends of the floor and do more with less. It isn't fun being on the TOTAL OPPOSITE end of that equation, but I can certainly appreciate how well-coached that Arizona team is. I liked Barnes as a player, and her coaching is impressive as well.
The Oregon Coach or Vic at Miss St.I told y'all after the scrimmage with the Division 2 team we still had Poor Coaching. Y'all got mad and tried to justify it. I knew then nothing had changed. I don't understand why she won't get help. SMH.
I don't think she's going anywhere. But My first coach suggestion Kara Lawson. I just like her. Second, Wes Moore. Third, Dawn Staley. Fourth, Shea Ralph.
Right! Instead of making Texas look worse than they already do and to save the future of Texas she just needs to let it go and resign. After watching that conference she looked checked out and seemed like she doesnt care and joyner and sug really looked like they didnt care anymore but us fans are here forever and we want to cheer on a good winning team with a good coach over the program and right now that's not happeningIf Coach Aston really cares about Texas she would resign with dignity. Watching the first minute of her post game video was blatantly obvious her team and staff got schooled big time. I’m done hearing out her excuses.
I've said it too and was accused of not being a "true fan" and told I should give up my season tickets. Funny how now the same ones who vehemently defended her and the culture of this program are calling for her head.... I said a while back that our program was no longer attractive to these top recruits and you now see what has come to fruition. Their so called sudden change in recruiting philosophy about going for "different types of players" is nothing more than a poor excuse designed to cover up the fact that they simply can't get any top rated players anymore.I posted last year amid the transfer of Chasity Patterson and many of you got all mad. I said the truth. The culture in this program is horrendous. Aston is not only a terrible coach but horrible with players. Did you guys not think there was a problem then? You should have expected this. And some of the kids signed last week couldn’t play at a juco. Oh, and btw, Texas would never get Vic.
Regarding the Deja Kelly situation... I have to wonder if perhaps there was some type of transgression committed during the drama that took place at Duncanville. After all, between Duncanville and Irving MacArthur there are three highly-regarded recruits. Of course that's purely speculation, but seems really odd to me that Kelly was ALL BUT SIGNED with Texas then suddenly she wants nothing else to do with the program. Just sayin'...It's disheartening.
There's a lot of "buts" that can help explain it. But that's the not the nature of how athletics works at UT. Sure, the "buts" are legit, but the buck has to stop somewhere.
I said it after the last game, and I'll say it again. Celeste's performances are concerning to me. Girl has got mad game, but it's not translating. Sure, it may just be adjustment, but whatever the real reason is, it doesn't matter. It's about perception to recruits. If an elite player struggles as much as she has to find a shot, then it has to make other elite players question. (Of course there are other things that cause questions too.)
Honestly, I think a long, hard look at the recruitment of Deja Kelly may be really indicative. Not that she's a once in a lifetime recruit, but, she was SOLID to UT. And then, mysteriously, decommitted. I'm curious about that. I wonder if that's the "beginning of the end".
