[quote="BCEagle74"]In all seriousness, when a Head Coach loses a team it is very difficult to get them back, and worse the next year since once lost, it takes a few recruiting years to flush out the malcontents or the just plain discouraged.
BC new recruits are watching the situation and hopefully will stay, but to what end?
It is a complex delicate psychological and athletic balance between maybe the kids are not enamored with the stupid flex or Al's Coaching Style, or the the flex doesn't fit their style--- and when they are disinterested, ergo they stop hustling and playing defense, and they lose that inner intensity and drive to excel.
There is a fine line between losing a team and failure to motivate a team.You can't motivate hustle, desire, intensity, rebounding is nothing by WANT-TO, boxing out or team spirit--IF!!--there is an real dislike for the Head Coach's style or system.
If the team doesn't want to do all these things, then they are sending Al Skinner a message about his coaching and his poor in game management skills, and Al isn't gonna be "flexible" and change. No Way!
Maybe the rigid flex, ---(I love that oxymoron)-- is a bigger problem than we though?
Last year we have 4 guys watching Rice dribble, turnover, chuck, drive and lose the ball or foul and
now we have guys who never learned the flex system since last year was a washout and now have no interest in Al or a failed system?
The 74 suggestion about a new trapping, pressing and running style should be implemented...BUT...then again Southern and Dunn are poor, poor post players and it would take others to crash the glass while the other 2 or 3 were breaking up the floor. Maybe a change ignites the intensity to box out and rebound and run and it works and fits their playing style?
To me with Al sad recruiting issues in the past few years and style, Al Skinner needs to be fired in March. I see no turn around with this under talented and lazy on defense bunch. Your defense and in you grille coverage sets up easy hoops, the crown gets rolling and lifts a team.
Maybe Al is just tired as he looks and its time for a rejuvenation change?
This team is now "El Conte De La Ole Matador Casa!"
No way this team makes the NCAA and wins at least 2 games so I say BC should fire him immediately
Maybe this next story will help Poor AL Skinner.
Say thank you for my presence and humble, humble genius!!
