hoopla Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 do i think KD is a great coach? NO... but i do think that he is the best that has been here a UA. plain and simple.he has had great players here. the top 6 last year can be mentioned among the best that has ever played here. they had 5 1000 pt. scorers on that team. and still couldnt win the MAC tourny. with that kind of talent in this league, that has to be a givin with that kind of talent. he may know xs and os, but the players are not responding (this is another way to look at it). so in turn, i dont think he is a great coach. just an explanation for my conclusion. but he is the coach for UA. he is from here, went to school here, and is a part of the city. but we will only be a mediocre team from here on out without improvements to the university, its buildings, and other staff. in my guesstimation, if you improve those things, it would help the team, but still wouldnt affect the coaching ablility of KD. just the winning % by attracting talent.

Captain Kangaroo Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I totally agree with a couple of the above posters. Zip fans have become SPOILED!I felt so SPOILED after the MAC Tourney and NIT snub last year. ALMOST as spoiled as when we lost to Toledo the previous year, blowing a 10 point lead with 5 minutes remaining. I feel so SPOILED when I look at those poor souls over in K.e.n.t. playing in post-season tourneys, winning marquee games, while I sit at home counting my "what if's."KD commonly uses the "Zips fans are spoiled" phrase when he talks about the slow-to-grow JAR crowds. But it is wholly inaccurate.Give Zips fans some respect. They want to win something of consequence. Winning 20 games in the MAC, with our soft non-conference schedule, is a good accomplishment. But, stand-alone, it is simply marginal. Until we stop choking in the tourney, until we start winning some decent OOC games, please spare me the "spoiled" term. "Tortured?" Maybe that hits closer to home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 On the list of fans that are spoiled, I can't except that a "zip fan" should be anywhere on that list. I don't feel spoiled. I have felt like spoiled milk a few times being a zip fan.Here is to a bright future, and looking forward to being spoiled some day though...
