We've played three straight Big South teams, and it looks like it will be 3 straight losses.

My recommendation would be to drop both the men's & women's basketball programs. Both stink to high heaven.

Western is an average AAU Showcase Team with an AAU Coach.

A good player doesn’t = a good coach Right, that’s a given. And your point? It seems like you’re piling on for the sake of piling on. Are you even a fan of Western? |

Point = he’s a horrible coach Western Alum prior to Wokeness His coaching resume (3rd assistant down from HC at Winthrop) doesn’t qualify for an interview much less HC. And his SALARY as a 1st year coach is NUTS. A guy at the Flea Market could’ve worked a better deal but that guy probably wouldn’t have interviewed him! |
