If Dunleavy isn’t flushed soon after our “one and done” AAC tournament appearance, the focus of criticism should entirely shift from MD to Dannen.
And it's not just MBB
It's women's basketball where we have a sacred cow.
It's women's golf
It's women's tennis.
It's, perhaps, baseball
That is 4 definite plus 1 maybe spring sport that is a disaster. That's why the focus needs to be on Dannen.

You blowhards need to go hide, somewhere so the true Wave Fans will be heard without your noise or should I say static. I was two rows in the corner by the Wave bench Sat. night it was electrifying. The players and coaches hugging, the most togetherness I have seen in a long time, through all the noise you so call fans put out. Daniels, Semir, and Crabtree gave their hearts out for a victory not only for them but for their loved coach Mike Dunleavy. Total team effort. Coaching was outstanding!!! The young Wave team gave their heart and souls out against a much more experience and deeper team. Help is definitely on the way to compliment the your team we now have. Can't wait till next year can't come quick enough. Roll Wave MBB!!!

No. You're the one that needs to leave this board. Everyone here is in agreement that we have a serious problem with men's basketball.. It's you who needs to GTFO.
God Bless Everyone!

I hope this chain will lead to pitchforks and a fever pitch. If not us- then who ? Brainstorming after a few cocktails:


Create a stink on this forum, create a stink on Yogwf, create a stink on Facebook !

tweet angrily and at former players and writers (preferably nationally)

Go Fund Me’s to fly a drone banner ?

Email Aresco ?

Email Fritz ?

Email boosters ?

Email board members ?

Tell your season ticket rep why you aren’t re upping

Let’s show we give a sh*t. Not everyone has money to spend on the cause but most of these solutions are free. Money helps.

Feel free to add to suggestions !

But let’s clarify this: when we stop caring and stop raising a stink then this program will fade off into the darkness as an afterthought and truly be of no consequence. It’s time to sharpen the pitchforks ladies and gents.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Dunleavy should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Edit: a start-

Yes we have a couple similir threads but I thought it needed a separate chain for actual action. Everyone is being pretty passive and hoping someone else will storm the castle. I think it needs its own chain personally. But hey who cares, let it get buried in with the other or 14 pages threads.

I think emails to Fitts and Dannen are the least any of us should do.

I'm not sure if that's Fitts' email address. If others know, please post!

I honestly do not believe there is one person in the world that believes retaining MD is the right thing to do. Not the troll, not Dannen. Not even MD himself.

Unfortunately, a terrible contract has tied the hands of the university and as such, it is those that put the contract in front of him that should be held accountable. Complaining to those that created the mess will do nothing. They know it's a mess but are as much of the problem as MD.

What Dannen spewed mid-season was not genuine. No person could be as optimistic about the program as when he was first hired. No way. 2 losing seasons and winless in conference at the time... asinine. He was attempting to cover his a$$ because he didn't have an out. And hoping to retain some of the recent recruiting buzz.

So I'll happily get blocked from Dannen's Twitter by expressing my opinion. But the problem is bigger than just making the right decision.

Dannen should get on his knees and go beg some of the boosters and big time donors to fix this problem. I assure you hertz, glazer, forgelman etc didn’t donate $$$ to be associated with an all time bad Tulane team. The $6-$10m annual AAC tv deal is coming too, time to spend some money.

Last week I had fun surfing the Tigerdropings board (though I never have posted there). Today, I've gotten a kick out of YOGWF. Things that are being said are worse than what got me banned permanently from there (which is one of many reasons I despise JtS.)

Even the most die hard Tulane fans, those that don't ever want a post on their board calling for a coaches job, are calling for a change at HC.

I have never been involved with such morons as the one's posting on this board. Your arguments are empty, drop basketball really, comparing our Green Wave Team as CAA level you might as well spit in our student athletes face. You are a bunch of disrespectful low class clowns posing as Tulane fans. Fans my rear butt. Putting down the players is as low and classless as you morons can be. Grow up and go elsewhere if you can't show some respect and class. This is not "Constructive Criticism" it is "Destructive Criticism". Destructive criticism to the University and to the team and coaches. What coach would want to come here with such low class, ghetto level class fan pretenders. Learn what is the difference between Constructive Criticism and Destructive Criticism that is if you morons can read. You act like a bunch of animals or should I say vultures describe you perfectly. Respect the University and players who gave their hearts to be a winner this year, that's more then I can say about you who abandoned them yet spit in their face comparing them to CAA level, really!!!

Where is the media on Dunleavy?
Will Wade gets destroyed because he can’t coach and LSU lost yesterday.
Dunleavy can’t coach either and deserves equal time.

I really would have liked to see what Dunleavy could have done this year if the team was 100% healthy and ready, but losing every single conference is just a hard pill to swallow no matter what happened. The Alabama A&M game was an all time low. Tulane losing to the worst team in the damn SWAC? Shit!

National media couldn't give a rat's ass as we are as irrelevant as you could possibly be and no one outside of our small fan base cares. Locally, we always struggle with coverage but now we are getting as much coverage as we deserve, Dannen has given up so why shouldn't the local media.

We MIGHT have doubled our win total, and been 8-23, which in year 3 would still be cause to fire Dunleavy. He can't coach on this level and has not learned on the job. The program is worse than it was three years ago.

We've already seen what he did with a team that had two NBA players. They had a losing record overall, went 5-13 in the AAC. In some ways a more head-scratching performance than this season.
