Paul Mills Not Hot Seat

[BostonWu]

Since you asked and understand that he is someone who played out of position much of the season which caused him to handle the ball a lot:

In 959 minutes, Bell was .436 FG (3rd best among non-forwards) and 77 TOs which is second most to Beverly at 81. However, his 77 TOs and 959 minutes played should be compared to our actual point guard at 46 TOs in 356 minutes played. One should also consider Bell's 3pt% at .310 compared to Beverley's .236 and Cortes' .229.

The choice is yours.

I suppose I'd take a heart attack over cancer

I mentioned before I have friends in the Tulsa area - Have gotten a few notes sent to me about there being Oklahoma State fans who would really like Mills after Boynton's firing earlier today. Doesn't seem likely to happen, but I would guess some will throw his name out there for that job.

No chance

We can get a batter ead on Mills next year when (hopefully) there are significant roster changes. Coming out of halftime flat and getting destroyed in second halves APPEARS to be the fault of the coachng staff.

If that happens again with roster changes, then it's on Mills.

If that doesn't happen with different players, then it was either a problem with this year's roster or Mills changed his half-time approach. Either one would be on the plus side for Mills.

Too stupid to get the link - but mentioned as one of many candidates in an article from the Oklahoman.

As I said it seems unlikely for a ton of reasons. I do think it’s interesting that many okie little fans seem quite a bit more excited about him than many of posters here were.

I see some of several of their fans posting about him on twitter, as well.

Bell is like a "utility infielder". Those guys never start, unless a starter is injured. They tend to be "adequate" at several positions. They're useful for resting a starter from time to time.

I understand what him changing this year’s roster would be, but, Just what do you mean by Mills changing his halftime approach? Tell us what that strategy change would be.

Pretty simple. He figures out that what he's doing now isn't working and changes his half-time approach.

If you're asking me what he should say and what adjustments he should make, then I would be worth more than the million+ they're paying Mills, and I'm not.

Ok. From what you claimed, it sounded like you knew what you were talking about. But you said nothing. I don’t mind criticism of Mills, but Then give us some real basketball knowledge. Not just he should do something different. Tell us, What should he do different ?

Do whatever he did today. We came out of half on fire until our legs gave out

Yup! Bottle it!

We effectively beat a minor league team with amateurs.

I was going to say we beat a prison squad team with amateurs but yours works too

I don't know but if I am the captain of a team cage match in the octagon, I'm selecting DeGray first!
