If they can knock down the 3 like you used too I’d say we would have a chance in the way the game is played today…. We have struggled with threes the last few years… Garnett and Russell were the only ones on the team that could shoot it from outside… Jordan brown and Joe Charles show promise from beyond the arc. I wish we played half court style ball and work that motion offense. This is the first year in a long time we have 3 bigs who can play and I feel we don’t use them correctly. What do I know I’m just a fan lol.

I am also just a fan and am by no means an expert. However, I do have an opinion on how our inside guys are used. I think part of our turnover issue is trying to force the ball inside when the defense has collapsed on the bigs. I also think the bigs could do a better job of passing out of the double team once they do catch it on the block. After last night's game, I am wondering if we should consider free throw shooting ability for the inside guys when crafting end of the game lineups. Perhaps we should alternate them more with the offense-defense situations.

I’d put free throws in the top of my three attributes a player must have at any position.

I have season tickets & attend most home games. This team is not talented. I could see this coming three years ago. His recruiting classes have not been good. Most recruits were deciding between UL & schools like McNeese & Nicholls. BM has not brought in any quality transfers either. Regardless, BM is ultimately responsible for the talent & it is time for a change.

Akuba gets stripped way too often when he does get the ball near the rim.

Dr. Maggard has hired:

A coordinator/assistant coach from a P5 program (Glasco, Napier)
A D-III head coach (Key)
A successful head coach with ties to the program (Deggs)
He's promoted from within (Des)
He's brought back a former assistant (Luc Godin-Men's tennis)
A JUCO head coach (Kristi Gray)

Here's the reality. We have no idea what will happen if/when there is an opening.

What we do know is what he'll be looking for.

Someone who knows what winning looks like.
Someone who is a relentless recruiter.
Someone who has the ability to forge positive relationships with student-athletes.
Someone with a good moral compass.
Someone who will make the classroom a priority.

And, that person could come from anywhere.

Sounds like you wrote up a description of BBOYD right there! Ha

I don't know who the next coach will be. But I'm fairly certain, it won't be Brad or Brock.

This doesn't seem like a promote-from-within scenario. And I think Brad would be much more likely as an assistant, as opposed to head coach.
