Slow build is a loser, excuse making mentality, imo.
Time to start the coaching search
- Thread starter Boston Rebel 2
- Start date
I think we probably could've bought the slow build sell if Kruger had actually tried to go that route. Recruit, build, retain, and fill with select transfers...
Instead he tried to capture lightening with Bryce/EJ and failed and his coaching got exposed. Now that he doesn't have a single go-to scorer, there's no answer to carry them, and since the entire roster turns over every season there's no leadership to pull team together on court. With all the transfers and seniors, they're here at this point for themselves and it's only going to devolve further as losses stack up. If I'm Boone and I'm an NBA talent, I'm going to demand the ball and shoot whenever I have it regardless of situation. Same goes for Hill when he comes back.

The only one who is completely oblivious to the inevitable is UNLVRebelGrl on Twitter.
NIL money and booster desire has been there. They were hamstrung initially due to the "optics" (which was BS to me then).
After seeing what the coaches at CSU and San Jose St have done with far less than what we have I would say the coaching hire is going to make 90% of the difference between us being respectable or not. The NIL money will help push us up a tier or two but I want the correct hire much more than NIL money.
He had it at his fingertips but called off the dogs.
What could have been with Kaluma, the guy from UNM last year, and countless others.
Correct, the regression we’re talking about started early in conference season LAST year. The only hope was Dedan and he can’t even stop this train wreck of coaching.
You gotta be wondering what’s going through his head right now.
I think he’s gone after the year is over, but maybe the new coach can keep him.
Lucky for him this is his first year and he will have many options to choose from after this season. Dedan is going to continue to get all of the minutes and experience he can handle. Next year he will be able to either come back under a new coaching regime or move on to a reputable P4 program. He’s really good and being at UNLV isn’t going to hinder his ability to show that to potential suitors.
If I were DEDAN, I’d stay..you got the whole team to yourself.
Uncle Eric already took care of him.
Yes, she said "UNLV, should never have fired Marcus Arroyo".
She is, the slow build loser.
She’s one of the worst out there. Can’t listen to the nonsensical rambling so I ended up muting.
Yes. She is very mean to you. If, you disagree with her.
To be fair, there are a lot of people who don’t allow disagreement and they throw their hands up in the air and try to turn it around and play the victim instead. It’s a deep flaw. And even when they are wrong, and they know deep down they are flat out 100% wrong - but they double and triple down and get angrier and angrier and angrier. They’re not angry with you, they are pissed because they are wrong but they can’t let go and admit it. Terrible cycle.
Nah, I don’t think so. They live on it. It defines them.
You see it more with guys than girls in my experience. Beta types especially.
Dedan has to be part of the thought process for Harper, perhaps even conferring with his father. Slippery slope there but if Harp can keep DTJ and makes a solid hire that can bring some studs with him and nail a few portal transfers the program could be in a much better position going into next season. Of course all that depends on whether UNLV has the $$ to buy out the contract. I’m sure Odom doesn’t want to see the football money dry up bc of MBB.
Keeping him will see money dry up from lack of ticket sales. Nobody wants to see this shyt.
i use to get anxiety when i missed a game due to being at work. Now i just check it a couple of times with no emotion and usually just delete it when i get home. Not going to watch a game that we loss.
Nobody wants to keep a 5 star legacy point guard currently playing at a level of most sophomores and juniors (when he should be in his senior year of high school)? I must have misunderstood your post??
