Is Dambrot the right coach?

[zipshoops]

why all the hostility on dials? the kid is playing on one leg for the whole year. he isnt even suppose to have played till feb. or mar. and yet he gives more than anyone on the team night in and night out. and youre bashing him. get off that kick. without him we dont reach 20 wins this year. and we dont get a bid in the nit. and we dont beat temple. he is the only reason we won that game. and one dimentional? are you crazy? he does a little of everything. he is a winner. he finds ways to win. ced can only play in sperts. he make way too many dumb plays. must i bring up all the late game situations like dribbleing off our own players foot? when dials can move next year and play without the brace he will be a first teamer for sure. heck he was doing it against the wonderful d.brown and williams and head his frosh year at osu @ illinois. all of you will be sorry to dis him come next year. he is our best player and it will show next year.

I agree with ZipsHoops on Dials, he's a gamer... anyway, he could never be worse than Bryan "I get my PT because of daddy" Hipsher if he only HAD one leg.I'm still dumbfounded that there's coach and player bashing going on after this team just had literally their most successful campaign EVER. Really, UA has never had a basketball team that performed this well and some jamokes come on here wanting the coach's head. I'm all for sharing your opinion, but if you think Dambrot should be fired, then my opinion is that you shouldn't be allowed to play with grown-up scissors. This guy is passionate about Akron basketball and his first two years have been Akron's best in the last 20 years... when was the last time we had a coach at this school say he was proud to be at the helm of one of their sports teams? King Zip, this was a .500 team this year w/o Joyce and Travis, and a .250 team without Joyce, Travis, and Dambrot. Joyce shot 44% from the field including a team-leading 40% from three-point land... both absolutely acceptable stats for a point guard. He also tallied 5 assists per game with a 2 to 1 A/TO ratio... what's not to like? Travis paced the team in FG percentage (53%... which I don't understand how you could carp about coming from an undersized "center") and grabbed almost twice as many rebounds as anyone on the squad. Did he miss some easy shots? Yeah, everyone does. It's pretty sad when "non-partisan" All-MAC Team voters think a guy is better than his own fans. I've never been a big St. V fan either, but get over yourself, these guys are a great find for a mid-major program. You'd better believe Jim Christian would have been more than happy if they'd have enrolled at that crap school down the road.The Hipsher Years00-01 --> 12-16 (9-9)01-02 --> 10-21 (5-13)02-03 --> 14-14 (9-9)03-04 --> 13-15 (7-11)MAC Tournament Record: 1-4The Dambrot Years04-05 --> 19-10 (11-7)05-06 --> 23-10 (14-4)MAC Tournament Record: 3-2 (Three times as many MAC Tourney wins in two years as his predecessor had in eight)NIT Record: 1-1...but yeah, let's run Dambrot outta town before he does anymore damage. You people are nuts.
