The_Reaper Posted December 7, 2006 Group: Member Topic Count: 114 Content Count: 2,052 Reputation: 0 Days Won: 0 Joined: 10/06/2002 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I have stated my stand in another post. I have and always will support the USF teams in any endeavor. BUT, after giving many benefits of the doubt concerning Mac, I have to say I have had enough. After the debacle against Richmond, and observing the coaching "techniques" of Mac and the assistants, I feel a change is needed. Glaring at a player when a time out is issued for almost 15 to 30 seconds and then yelling at them, or getting in their face if taken out of a game, not talking to them and teaching them, is an outrage. A coach is a teacher, not reserved for practice, but in a game situation as well. I tried to do a comparison of both coaching staffs from this game. Not only was the Richmond head coach encouraging, he was teaching. If he wasn't talking to a player, his assistants were. There was more involvement in interacting with a player than bees hovering around a queen bee. Our coaches would just sit there. Coach Burnell looks like he's going to fall asleep and the others look scared to death. I am sorry, but actions reflect on players. When Coach would get in the face of the player, the body language was that of defeatism. How can we win if we are going to fear the rath of a coach who is a dictator. Not todays ballplayer. Discipline is one thing, but the iron fist of coaching is gone as fast as the dust. A new wind of change has to come to USF. Unfortunately Coach Mac may think he's doing his best, and if that is the case, I applaud him. But his best is not working for us at this level. Coach is a great guy, but maybe he's in way over his head here at USF! Reaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just watch the games and be a fan and forget I have soe message board to talk aboutthis crap anymore because I'm exhuasted by this non-stop BS exhibited by these people pretending to be so concerned about the program but restating the same tired complaints. I know that won't stop anyone. But even Muhammed Ali needed someone to stop the fight when enough was enough. consider me MikeG-Frozen-In-Carbonite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even Muhammed Ali needed someone to stop the fight when enough was enough. consider me MikeG-Frozen-In-CarboniteMy complaint is Bulls Basketball has become boring and laughable. I am a football season ticket holder and fly down from DC for almost every game. I would never get on a plane to come watch this basketball team. You have to realize that not every Bulls fan is going to be as hardcore as some. That is evident by the number of fans that attend basketball games.Put a program out there that is respectable and people will show up. I don't care what world you live in (even if it is green and gold), a Big East team losing to teams like Richmond, Texas A&M - Corpus Christy, Bethune Cookman consistantly is unacceptable. I really don't care who's falt it is. The fact of the matter is that as long as this is occuring, Bull Basketball will be a joke and the majority of fans will not support it. That is reality, and some of the people on here need to take off the green and gold glasses and realize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
