“I told our team in the locker room: Tough times don’t last; mentally tough teams do.” Coach Whitford on today’s loss in the final minute at Ohio. If he would just grind it out on the recruiting circuit and in practices teach fundamentals, he wouldn't have to work so hard at coachspeak, data and processes that don't generate wins, and lame excuses.

Tired of the excuses for Persons. Was going to say tired of the passes....but that wouldn't be appropriate given his assist total! Im not making excuses for him. I agree he has not been good either but without his 20 something we lose by 15.

Did whit also tell the team they played the right way? Well, we did, didn't we? Apparently just making the trip, getting off the bus, getting dressed, and finding your way to the floor constitutes playing the right way.

Weak ass coaches lose and get fired! If he doesn't turn this 6th season around the 2 back to back contract extensions are the only reason he's back next year. I and I imagine 95% of this board would support a 3 yr buyout but I fear the powers that be won't pull the trigger, yet.

As it looks right now, Thompson is going to be playing about 25 minutes a game next season, and Whitford is busy throwing scholarships at Jarron Coleman and the man bun.

As I watch Person pill-up the turnovers with limited numbers of assists, I start to wonder if Bumbalough could do any worse? At least the number of turnovers might go down. I suspect Bumbalough will not be able to get-off that many 3-point shots, but that might force an actual running of the offense instead of playing "hero-ball".

In another parallel to Bill Taylor, it will not be this year that end's Whitford's time at BSU, it will be next year. Just like it wasn't Jarrod Jones and Randy Davis' last season (2011-12), but the following year that Billy got canned. Whitford will not get fired this year, the last year of Tayler Persons and Try Moses, but next season.
