We stayed close for a while though.That sucked.
The tipoff was hotly contested.We stayed close for a while though.
Remember Bill Self lost to Gonzaga (Before Gonzaga was even rated) by about 40 points in the Great Alaska Shootout his first year and fans were ready to fire him too. And that was before NIL has tried to decimate TU. We gave him some time to recruit.Sad absolutely no interest. Konkle was never my choice but have to give him a year to rid this team of demons. Next year we will all know if this decision was correct. Hard to believe we can be this much worse than ORU. Add to that, how can we get so much worse as the year goes by.
Self's first two seasons at ORU were really rough. I believe TU is close to the situation ORU was in when Self replaced Ken Trickey. But we can also rebuild fairly quickly with the right moves.Remember Bill Self lost to Gonzaga (Before Gonzaga was even rated) by about 40 points in the Great Alaska Shootout his first year and fans were ready to fire him too.

Steve Robinson did not leave the cupboard bare like Haith. He left Ruffin, Coley and Bennett to Self.Self’s first team improved as the year evolved. They even made some noise in the WAC tourney. Bennett just needed to make some free throws.
That team had a tiny roster, but there was some good talent.
My dawg Jonnie Gendron was on that squad too…great leader and good shooter.
Camp 1= Complete and Utter morons who remind me of monkeys throwing crap at the zoo.It seems like our faithful fall in two camps:
Camp 1: we suck because of Konkol regardless of the situation he came into. 100% konkol’s fault, no ifs ands or buts about it.
Camp 2: we suck because of the situation Konkol inherited from Haith and konkol is working with the hand that was dealt this year while looking to retool next year.
The whole athletic department IS stepping up now.He is fighting something no TU coach starting out has faced with the Portal and NIL. But he and his staff are putting in overtime to address the needs. The collectives need to step up to AAC standards.
Honestly, I can't think of anyone in Camp 1.It seems like our faithful fall in two camps:

There are plenty.Honestly, I can't think of anyone in Camp 1.
Camp 1: Didn't take any time to renege on their promise in record time, despite his recruiting achievements.It seems like our faithful fall in two camps:

People baffle me. This program will be on much more solid footing and the results will be MUCH better next season. Then all these woe is me impatient dbags wont be able to say much.Camp 1: Didn't take any time to renege on their promise in record time, despite his recruiting achievements.
Camp 2: Holding to that promise.
This April/ May and next November recruiting seasons will define the Konkol hiring IMHO. This is about when Self/ Gillispie hit the home runs. Last November was a good start. Every coach looks good with good players. John Phillips went to two NCAA’s with good players. Just think Billy Tubbs, Tarkanian, The only coaches that I can think of who failed with superior talent were Josh Pastner and Penny Hardaway. Funny that both have been at Memphis. Very few coaches can excel with lesser talent. Kelvin Sampson ( before he got the 4 and 5 stars) and Chris Beard. Eddie Sutton and the Oregon Coach. The current UCLA coach we hate. What do all have in common? They seem to eat the players alive if they don’t give 100% all the time. I saw Self run some starters out of practice for not giving 100% and told them not to come back ( they did thank goodness).People baffle me.

Are you Konkols mom or something? You get soooo defensive and start attacking soooo quickly.Camp 1= Complete and Utter morons who remind me of monkeys throwing crap at the zoo.
Defensive? I just thought TU had alot smarter fans than maybe I was thinking.Are you Konkols mom or something? You get soooo defensive and start attacking soooo quickly.
There is also Camp 3: Konkol can do and will do no wrong anywhere, anytime.
It’s been a disappointing season.
If you don’t think so, you’re not passionate about TU basketball. You’re passionate about the coach.
Next year will certainly be improved but this year sucks donkey marbles.
I don't see the value in camp 1 or 3. Give him time to prove himself. He has already done something with Selebangue & the three he has coming in next year. We haven't even given him time to judge him on Knight & McWright. It is way to early to judge him on their play right now.Are you Konkols mom or something?

NIL is not an excuse for poor performance when you didn’t lose any players lol.Remember Bill Self lost to Gonzaga (Before Gonzaga was even rated) by about 40 points in the Great Alaska Shootout his first year and fans were ready to fire him too.
