I find the overall results frustrating. The product on the court has been entertaining, more so than any year since the CBI season. 

again, a sad testament to this tenure

Carrollwood Day guard Tre Lockett has committed, but it doesn’t look like we’ll see him for a bit. Looks to me like he had a major leg injury recently . . . his pre-injury highlights are pretty impres

This is easily the most frustrating year of Bulls basketball since I have been following the team. The team is 9-13, but could just as easily be 20-2 at this point. We were in position to win every ga

Not sure about that, but I do like the focus on signing good high school players this go-round. I'd hate to lose those four guys with a coaching change, but, it is what it is. We'll see.

Giving him one more year doesn't hurt anyone. It's not like we have the millions laying around to buy him out and make a splash hire.

It continues to send the message that winning isn't a priority at USF

This just isn't true

I'm open to examples of coach's decisions losing multiple close games. Our last two we had open shots to tie or grab the lead and they didn't execute ...... Again, ultimately it's all on the coach for W/L records because they're his players who aren't closing the games out and you can't fire players ......we'll see what happens at the end of the season.

How about the other 39 minutes and 50 seconds Trip ......

6 straight losing conference seasons, 5 out of 6 losing seasons overall, continuous 2nd half meltdowns over the years ..... etc. and etc.

But yeah, can't fire the players .... give him a raise and a lifetime contract ... not his fault players can't "execute"

 

I just thank the basketball gods that girls keep wandering onto out campus who can play basketball and "execute" so that one of our basketball teams actually win something because obviously coaching has nothing to do with it

Assuming there is no turn around It sets the program back another year. We have one winning season in the last decade. I am tired of losing. I recently turned 40 so I am getting older, so I would like us to be relevant in basketball as soon as possible. At any other serious program and he would have been fired last year.  Men's basketball is behind football the most important program. We invested in basketball facilities, and now we should invest in a proven coach who can get us to the NCAA tournament. Under Gregory the best we can hope for at this point is mediocrity.  If we have money for an OCS we  have money to invest in a new coach.

Do you know CBG's buyout? I do not. What coach would you like to see replace him?

Don't have any idea about his buyout, but whatever the amount it will be worth it if we can get someone who can get us out of the misery of the last decade. Maybe poach FAU's coach.

I wouldn't be opposed to that, but I imagine they can match whatever we would be able to offer, especially considering that they will be our conference mates next season. I don't think we need to hold on to CBG, but I would only want to move on if we had a slam dunk hire lined up. USF doesn't have an unlimited supply of money to throw around at this point. If you aren't certain that you have the right replacement for CBG lined up this season, you wait one more. Things can turn on a dime in college basketball.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
