Ruefully amusing:
"Our 2018 campaign ended on a sour note, and it left a bitter taste for many of us that we are all eager to get rid of."
As opposed to the 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 campaigns?

He’s not interested in any kind of social anything. Did he not realize there is a figure head component to a head coaching job ? I love this line : "It is, by a significant margin, the deepest team I have coached in my time at Ball State." How exactly is this years team deeper than last seasons ? We lost our two best players and didn't bring in anyone who can replace them. |

Sorry, can’t agree that we have had an abysmal recruiting record. In the overall scheme of things he has been one of the better recruiters we have had at Ball State. IMO, you can argue about the use of the players, the style of play, and the ability to keep players healthy. You can talk about the inability to recruit bigs, though we do have two 6’10” players this year. I think this will be a good year for the Cards if we can stay healthy and if they are coached to use their talents to the best of their abilities. I see really good year this season. |

We lost our two best players... Last year we had nobody on the bench too often. We lost 3 players, but have twice that number of replacements. Plus injured players last year are so far injury free. How can we not be deeper? |

I won’t say abysmal, but maybe ineffective. We’ll see this season.

Recruiting has been mediocre at best overall. No impact players and not one all conference MAC big player. His philosophy sucks and we are at the end of September and we do not have one committed player for 2020. The apathy for our basketball program is palpable.
