2023 AAC MBB Tourney Thread

[Jaxwave]

His defense doesn’t work against anybody who can shoot and he actually thinks rebounding isn’t important. Does that sound like a good basketball coach?

[Jaxwave]

So the freshman signee we had last year can’t get in to this game? Hunter is a joke.

[Jaxwave]

Hunter is only an ideal coach for low level HS job.

Team finally ran out of gas. The starters got heavy legs and that will mess with your shot. Season over most likely after today.

Agreed. Not much of a bench to share the minutes. I do not believe we will make a change but if we do Billy Kennedy is available.

Memphis moves on in 94-54 route of the Wave.
Wave longshot waits to see if NIT interested.

If Hunter goes to GT Billy Kennedy would be a solid hire.

This game negates everything this team accomplished this year.

Will you guys quit with the BS, you waste so much time on things with no chance of happening. Hunter is like Fritz he is not leaving players that gave him his 500th win!!! He is not quiting on his team!!!

[Jaxwave]

I think not teaching your boys how to block out is quitting on your team.

Yesterday I was accused of hating Tulane basketball. I don’t but I think their coach is a fraud.

We could always go back to Dunleavy.

[greenie78]

Geez Jaxwave, go get some Midol.

[Jaxwave]

Guys I am not mad. I am just analyzing what I see. Where am I wrong?
I will admit I didn’t like the Hunter hire or what I’ve seen since and maybe that inherent bias affects my analysis.

Calling him a fraud for one. He's not a miracle worker, but he's improved the program to the point where it's become respectable. He has a long way to go, but he's definitely not a fraud.

Today, you are correct Engineer!

I cannot blame the coach when we play in the worst gym in college athletics. I am amazed we can recruit anybody. Until the facilities are addressed, this is where we are at.

Can Jaxwave be banned??? Every post in this thread from him has been pure idiocy.

It's hard to imagine that the NIT would take any team that just got toasted by 40 points.

Have you seen any of the 250+ gyms that are D1 but not in a P conference? Some of them make ours look like an absolute palace. They have pull-out bleachers and an 1980's scoreboard. The gym has nothing to do with getting blown out by 40 points on national TV. One team wanted to play for a conference championship, another couldn't get out of there fast enough. Blame the gym for a team mailing it in playing 554 miles from home. Sorry, but I blame the coach.

He's done a good job building a team from nothing, and I really don't care if they're transfers or freshman recruits, but his game day coaching is horrible. This team should have done a whole lot more. There's talent and it was harder and harder to see as Hunter's self proclaimed brilliant strategy of shortening his rotation took hold. I'd be shocked if he went to GaTech, not because of any loyalty but because my sources in Atlanta say he's not a well-liked personality there.

Hunter has said multiple times he can recruit better via zoom when the players can't see our facilities.

NIT is a long shot:

Wrong, Sports Illustrated has Memphis as a Number 9 seed in the tournament, if we beat them to sweep 3 games against them then play Houston tough, we should get a tournament invite!!!

You're dead wrong as usual!

Then why take the job in the first place? It's not as if he was promised a new facility.

[winwave]

Maybe it's his way of trying to get them to build a new facility.

Quite to the contrary, Hunter has said multiple times that he likes our arena because he knows he can fill it up. He also noted in a recent interview that in several places (mentioned UCF) the arenas are big and have just a couple thousand in them. He said it has a terrible feel and the crowd noise gets swallowed up. The only time I heard coach Hunter talk about Zoom interviews was during Covid.

[winwave]

He said again in just the last couple of weeks.
