I'm sorry I have to be the one to bear the bad news to anyone, but my prediction of UL obtaining twelve wins last season was wrapped light years in ions & ions of truth and factual credibility more than anyone will ever give you credit for on your completely myopic opinion of the basketball program. As soon as you can come to that reality, you will also be able to cope with the fact that no one is rooting for dumm dumm to fail at this job & nobody hates him either ( except mother of Ramone). He is just in over his head & he's over the hill. IOW he's how shall we say, behind the music?

Despite how wonderful you think you are, your opinion is just that. An opinion. Get over yourself.

That means the effort of the players has been there. What seems to be happening now, is they are giving up, because the kid isn't gtiing any better or "maturing." He may be maturing as a person, but as a player, he just doesn't have it( as a point guard). If you have it especially at this level with the amount of focus & time Marlin has obviously devoted to making the kid the point guard, it would be shining through by now . . .

This was your comment on Payton (one year ago, day before yesterday) when he had played his first game as an 18 year old.

So what is this supposed to mean to me? Did the kid ever become a point guard or not? I thought a point guard's number one job was to get his team involved in SCORING! The purpose of the game is outscoring your opponent to post a win. At least that's what my misguided opinion was. How many players scored more than 3 points in the last game they played?

Your prediction went unopposed by anyone who understood the impact of a bad attitude clearance

Question: What was your opinion of UL's 105 point outing against the so-called NBA lottery pick?

Did they win? I asked a question about 6 posts ago myself. Can anyone tell me how many players scored more than three points against UALR? This is a legitimate question to ask 30 games into the season. I'm not picking on anybody. I'm simply saying if you want a following with a fan base you can count on making their plan for the night around your entertainment product, then you have to have a product that people want to go watch. The reason the New Orleans bowl was such a hit besides all the drinking & partying was the fact people knew they were going to see a pretty good football game. Guys would be flying around like madmen & that coaches would have some crazy stuff up their sleeve. They knew win or lose they would get their money's worth on the entertainment end.

He also leads the league in assists. Our team has many deficiencies. The PG spot is not one of them.

4 guys scored more than three points last game. In response to your previous question.

So what are the deficiencies? How do they get fixed? Realistically, how long will this take? And finally, back to the OP's original question how long is the rope on the guy who is supposed to have the cure for all this?
