Like him or not, they're stuck with him until the end of his contract. The problem with not committing further to him (and I am not suggesting they should)is that it impacts recruiting. Kids want to know who's going to be their coach.
I went to the game today. The Zips were competitive in he first and fourth quarters but got outscored by 17 in the second quarter. No effort seemed to be made during that run to stop the momentum by calling a timeout. Overall, they turned the ball over way too much, couldn't stop dribble penetration and gave up way too many easy shots. Gentzler did way too much yelling and gesturing, including a Rick Pitino like tearing off and throwing of his sportscoat.
