#13/13 MEMPHIS (14-2, 3-0) at WICHITA STATE (8-7, 0-2) Game Thread

I don't want to hear a damn word from anyone on this board or anyone on the coaching staff if next year is not substantially better. **** NIL, etc. If Mills does not recruit and coach a team better than what we have been subjected to this year, there is no defending him.

That's the scary part: if next year's team looks like this, where does ADKS go from there?

[ShockerFever]

That went about as expected. Both teams that can’t play or don’t care about defense, with one team having vastly superior athletes and talent… and gulp… coaching. The last part is particularly sad, considering Penny’s deficiencies.

Can you squeeze blood from a stone?

I feel like Mills has the ability to coach better than this. But it's a pretty low bar right now. Wouldn't take much to seem MUCH improved. So I am still hopeful that next year will be much much better. Just have to see what the off-season brings....etc.

Now....if it ISN'T improved and it is the exact same next year.....well.....that would make it tough to keep the hope alive

He probably needs to swap an assistant or two though. Get some better X & O's on the bench

Mills can’t go out and do it for them. At the end of the day, if the players give up there’s not much he can do.

[Kung Wu]

I got a 406% ROI on this game. Crazy!

Feels dirty, but what the heck.

Yeah...he shares responsibility for that.

I typically feel that way also. But game after game.....I dont know that I can keep giving him a pass.

But that is why I said I FEEL like he can do much better and will after a full off-season. But more of the same next year and that falls squarely on Mills

[Mr. Pickle]

Sure he can - bench somebody, make them run, get in their ass, ask them not to come back. All very doable things when players give up. That is part of his duties as coach.

[Ashockalypse]

Mills needs to explain why the defense doesn’t guard anyone and the offense is standing still. I don’t have millions but eventually we may paying mills for uncoached years.

If the players give up that's the sign of an awful coach

Yeah... I don't think that will help.

[Aargh]

Pohto looked pretty good against his unathletic. 6'7" opponents onKP 250+ schools.

Now his play begs the question: What do Kenny Pohto and teats on boars have in common?

[shock]

5 years ago, yeah. Now? Not so much.

[shockerfan]

Yeah... I don't think that will help.

In today's generation and with the instant portal transfer.....yeah it probably wouldn't. Tough love and tough coaching is getting harder to do.
