    Yea...Brady pisses me off. He couldn't hit a basket in the last 4 minutes of the game. Damn him...All he had to do is hit 2, just 2. What kind of coach can't score 4 points in 4 minutes? Damn him...

    Ok, I guess I meant I've never seen a disciplined offense. And I'm not calling for his head this season.

    His team's offense is averaging 58 points a game in SEC play. If his offense can't figure something out I expect if we make the tourney to make it by the seat of our pants. I know that his team's have a knack for winning ugly when they need to, but this doesn't seem to be the year.

    I can't understand giving him a complete pass when it comes to the way we've looked this year. I don't think a little bit of grumbling is out of reason. He's been through a lot with LSU, but LSU has been through a lot with Brady too.

    Lets see... coaching hmmm... we had the SEC player of the year with the ball in his hands to win the game and HE comes up just short to possibly win the 2nd game on the road for an SEC West team . That surely shows bad coaching if you ask me.

    Wonder why we were in that position in the first place? Why we've been struggling since starting the SEC...? There is still time for Brady to turn things around, but he's recruited and coached this team and so far this season its performance is nothing exceptional. It probably isn't helping Big Baby's stock.

    I don't feel optimistic, but Brady has shown the ability to compete as the season matures. Before we talk about firing Brady and Skip let's see what happens.

    I'd like to see how many outside shots he made in the Ncaa tourney.
    My memory can't be that far off.

    rankings have never meant much in basketball (last years ff team probably wasnt ranked this time last season---the '00 team surely wasnt)

    it amazes me how many pessimists are coming out NOW. lsu loses on the road to a top 50 rpi team on a shot that has about a 10% chance.

    this team is no more poorly coached than brady's previous teams. it may just look worse because the team is young (only davis has a lot of pt under his belt), and slow on the perimeter.



    if this team plays like this the rest of the season. if they continue to work to get martin open looks. if they continue to go to the goal when davis gets doubled/tripled. and if they continue to play solid D (uga shot 34 %). i will be happy.

    My complaint about Brady is the fact that a final four appearance did absolutely nothing for our recruiting. That tells me a lot. The elite players in the nation just aren't enamored with playing for Mr. Brady.

    I guess it all depends what you want out of a basketball program. Based on Brady's history at LSU, I don't think we'll ever be a horrible basketball program, but we most certainly will never be great. With LSU being a football school, maybe that's cool with most people.

    I think it would be nice to have an elite basketball program. To achieve that end, you would need to replace the current head coach.
