@BShark Self may have made the official “hey guys it’s cancelled” decision but that’s because half the team has checked out of classes and is done. No one was sticking around for that….there were only 3-4 guys on the roster (that played) that respected Self and likewise Self to them (he didn’t respect many from the jump)
I’m curious what people have seen in these last 24 months that make you want to have Self around next year
The only reason I’d keep him is for DP but if it got out DP would come if Oats or Golden accepted the job then Self can exit stage left for the betterment of the program which per his words no coach is bigger than. He did well during his time here but it’s time to step aside
When you don’t play the best players, never attempt 4 guards in a legitimate game except once and then it works but you create some ridiculous reason how we were “so bad defensively” - what a freaking crock so he can keep playing “his guys”. If Self is some defensive genius he should have figured out a way to teach the 4 guard lineup to defend
He’s always done this but as others have said the players having equal leverage with the coaches has exposed it
Storr and Griffin came here after being at big P5 schools NOT THE MID MAJOR EXCUSE — and they digressed horribly
It not the players it’s the coach, his system and how he treated the guys
Issue is he always latches onto a lower level guy who he favors over the higher ceiling guys. Morningstar, Reed, traylor, kj, d2….
That’s why I know he can’t fix this, won’t change his ways and we are wasting years “letting Self go out on his own terms”. I mean fine if you want to watch the house burn down standing inside so be it
Indiana and UCLA here we come! Heck we are letting guys come here for a year and then play in their prime for IU and a coach who without his best player and another injured best Self’s “boys” in AFH
Looking forward to playing a round with Self when he’s retired, looking him squarely in the eyes and asking WTH were you seeing/thinking because it clearly didn’t work!
