Good grief... All of those great coaches, K, Boeheim, Izzo, Calipari, all yell and scream at their players.
Apparently no one seems to remember Underwood coming off the bench at a time out and firing up players after they made a good play or great hustle???
Underwood and his demeanor is fine. He both praises and yells at players. If those players can't handle it, then they aren't the players to play in this system. I'm with Desert Illini. Unless he starts going full on Bobby Knight, he's fine.
Recruits see results and outcomes, not necessarily how you got there. Recruits see that many people are leaving the program, including pretty much all of Underwood's own recruits in his first year, in addition to having a terrible team last year. They would have the same concerns if those two things were happening even if Underwood was babysitting players and cracking jokes every second of practice.
Why does 247 show that he committed to VA Tech after visiting them, yet shows the Illini offer 3 days later.
Agree to disagree on how much fun it is to watch a 14-18 team.
I'll take Bruce Weber trying to win games 36-35 and actually pulling it off most of the time over that.

Webers games were brutal to watch at the end of his tenure and if you say otherwise you are just being naive or playing devils advocate.
If we had an exact replica of the year that got Weber fired next year, you and most of this board (probably me too, to be honest) would be praising to the heavens that we had found the right coach and it was onward and upward.
That's just reality. That's what has happened to this program.

He wanted to commit to VTech but they did not take his commitment for some reason.

You sure? He just took an official visit there a few days ago...
Poof. Better than losing him to Weber St.Higgs was just offered by Louisville

When do we just cut bait and move on to the next class? He was already behind in this class. Lets get off this ride and move on.
