Doom is the first word that came to my mind also. How can I be depressed about next season already when this season technically isn’t over yet?! This sucks. We are always thinking doom. and we've basically seen it but now we are into it waist deep

As frustrating as his turnovers and out of control play is, he is a talent who could put it all together. There aren't many of those on Whitford's roster. I'm a bit surprised on this. I always thought Coleman and Whitford were joined at the hip. I wonder if there is any tie-in with Whitford's contract situation. Could it be he and Whitford realizes Whitford isn't going to be BSU's coach past next season, so might as well transfer now? Could it be Whitford encouraged him to hit the transfer portal as leverage to get an extension? Like, "hey Beth, I can get our most talented player to stay if you extend me a few years". Here’s a news flash. Coleman is more interested in Coleman than he is Ball State or whatever school he attends. He has looked at our returning roster and prospects for next year and sees what we see. Our frontline consists of Thomas, Huggins and the freshman from Winchester. Our backcourt is him, Bumbalough who has been overmatched most games and The Finn. Our wings are Acree and Gunn and a gimpy Jones. That is a 12 win roster. He is not a team first guy, he’s immature and a acts like a Prima Donna. He’s very talented and will likely get swept up. This is another indication our culture is extremely dysfunctional.

Oh we will be ok lol.... Doomed we are Doom is the first word that came to my mind also. How can I be depressed about next season already when this season technically isn’t over yet?! This sucks. Because Whitford is the coach and the best you can hope for is mediocrity. Even if Coleman stayed there wasn't much to look forward to. Best case scenario is champion of the awful MAC west and an early bounce in the MAC tournament.

I had the feeling there was a strong chance Coleman would leave....missed the chance to be prophetic by not posting that.

Shows you how much I've been paying attention. For some reason I thought it was just for this season.

Here’s a news flash. Coleman is more interested in Coleman than he is Ball State or whatever school he attends. Yup. I think his self interest interferes with a team's ability to create a balanced offense.

Dearest Ball State Fan Base, I have decided, after much thought, spiritual guidance and talks with my family, that it is now my time to also enter the NCAA Transfer Portal. While I have enjoyed my 44 years of fandom for the Ball State Cardinals basketball program, it is time to see what other options might be out there for me. There is, quite possibly, another program out there, looking for a diehard fan like me, whose program is in much less shambles. Although it is likely that I will return to rooting on my hometown college basketball program, you just never know. So, I want to take this opportunity to thank the fans, community of Muncie and moderators of this board for their time, energy and guidance in making me a better fan.
