John Groce is not a good coach. I'm sorry. Look at the results he's produced collectively over the past 5 seasons. This isn't a knee jerk reaction to a bad season. It's time to move on.

I disagree on point three. He encourages 1 on 1 ball.

Need some Bob Knight vocabulary to go along with it.
We are the least athletic team in the conference

First thought was "is he really on the team" but you are probably right. DJ can do a few things, but he can't get out of the doghouse
DJW and maybe AJ, but that will never happen because they don't play.
Someone get a meme ready for Groce...that's about as mad as I've seen him at his players on TV.

Doing college destination research on his iPhone.
You know, AJ has been showing active hands on D. That might be a nice surprise right about now.

Ugh. Finally a shot at the rim and we blow it
It would be well worth the T.

Good D by Mav and MH, forcing a timeout on the baseline.
Little late, but its something

Always seem to have 2 thoughts when watching Groce's teams:
1) after mistake made (defensive lapse, poor offensive sequence....) players don't know what they were supposed to have done and not explained to them by the staff
2) really don't think we practice hard (always look lost during times when speed/intensity turned up by other team)

So frustrating that the energy finally kicks in. How hard is it to teach/understand this is the way you need to play from the tip on the road?
Yeah, we were after Carr.

That or Finke for Black. But I'm with you.
I will say that the defense has ratcheted up a notch or two this half. But why does it have to take a coach scolding you in the locker room to play better on that end of the court? I echo many people's sentiments that we have a soft team.
