For the first time I think there is a very small chance this is it for White. Doubtful....but a sliver of a chance.
I wonder if there is ANY chance he would step down? He’s connected and could quickly land something and avoid the heat he’s about to experience. Mann leaves and Lewis and Payne transfer....He’s looking at a near total rebuild.
Maybe?
There is absolutely 0 chance he is gone. He gets at least one more year. If we had gotten knocked out in the first round of the tournament last year (which we almost certainly would have) then MAYBE, just maybe he would be gone after this year. Covid and keyontaes injury saved his ass. Maybe even for two more years.
There was just an article on the sun like a week ago about how well he did this year with what he had...wtf??? You mean the 3-4 nba prospects still left on the roster after the Johnson injury are just good enough to put us on the bubble?? If we had keyontae we would have been a 7 seed instead of a bubble team and that's some sort of great accomplishment?
I'm infuriated that espn commentators and the sun have oohed and awed over what he has done this year. Wow yeah it's soooo impressive to go 13-9 with a bunch of four and five star basketball players.
The guy might eventually be able to go somewhere and be good. He does make some nice adjustments in the games SOMETIMES. But he obviously has not been able to develop talent. Until he learns how to do that or hires an assistant coach that can do it for him, he's gonna be just another mediocre coach.
Lewis has regressed to a shell of a basketball player. From a lottery projection to maybe not even getting drafted. Payne- no improvement. Castleton- regression as the season has gone along. Locke, still a liability if he isn't sinking 3s and probably barely better than he was as a freshman. Jitoboh- still a fatty. Fatter even. Duruji- lol. Appleby- sometimes good... not sure what position this guy even plays still. All our freshman- still barely serviceable at the end of the season.
Only guy to develop this year was mann, and you could see that happen throughout last season as well. Everybody else stayed the same or regressed. Horrible.
