For one thing he's a vast improvement over the coaches that were here the 15 years before he arrived. If you want to see "trash" results, I think you might want to peruse those 15 years.

Was I supposed to type something here?
That is not at issue. What is at issue is the word "trash" which was used to describe a fellow who does not deserve it. At all.

So we just accept mediocrity because we’ve always been like that? Give me a break. And I’m not staying he needs to be top 20 every year. But surely if he’s a good as y’all want to defend, he would have at least one season with a game above .500 in conference play.
If y’all are ok with NIT appearances or less, then I can’t help you. He’s not getting it done here, plain and simple.

Did my post not resonate at all? The first 4 years in the big 12 we averaged 2 wins per year. Since he has been here we’ve averaged 7.25 wins. Would you say that something he has done here? That is a 360% improvement in conference compared to the previous coaches. That seems like doing something to me.
I think using the term trash is really unacceptable. He is a great person and does things the right way. If you mean he isn’t a very good basketball coach in 2021 then I agree with you. He did pretty good with the former coach’s players but the guys he’s recruited aren’t setting the world on fire. It’s time for him to start getting us to the tourney on, at least on a semi regular basis.

I think Jamie had us on the right path until that disastrous trip to Hawaii. Don’t know the full story but the problems that occurred during and after that trip set this team back a number of years. As I have said before we have a lot of good young talent we just need to see progress. Fans are restless.

Truth be known mediocrity has been an aspiration.

Prove you wrong? How exactly does someone go about proving an opinion to be wrong?

Jamie wins more than we did before him - that part is pure math and not debatable
I think the issue is twofold - there is a lot of really good basketball being played in the B12 - Baylor, Kansas, Texas, Tech - are all really good teams
So that results in 1) it being harder for us to win period because the conference is so deep and 2) everyone to wonder why we can’t be one of those teams when they have all had bad times before just like us
maybe the game has passed by JDs approach - or maybe we aren’t recruiting the guys that fit his scheme or maybe the guys aren’t as good as we thought
Or maybe some of all 3...hard to know in this conference at the moment

You mean, besides winning more games than any coach since Tubbs? In the toughest conference we've played in, probably ever?

Winning more games than any coach since Tubbs falls firmly in the "tallest midget" category.
So you think the coaches have changed how they coach? RJ and Kevin are the only two scholarship guys on the roster who were on that trip so it sounds like you believe the coaches have changed how they instruct the team.
I don’t think Jamie has done a very good job of roster building. His system is so dependent on a point who plays down hill and handles the ball and yet he hasn’t recruited one. His system works better when he has a big that can make a shot from 15+ feet. Hoping the Doumbia youngster can provide some of that. We have good talent but they seem to not fit together.
Bottom line is the more games we play the less it looks like Jamie is going to be the guy to make us a winner.

Maybe, but when the category is "what he's done at TCU", you have to consider what others have done, and what the situation allows.

The emergence of Peavy and Cork have had an effect imo. Better decisions from Baugh as well

It's the toughest bball conference in the country... no freebies. Team just had to get healthy, continue to gel, and find the right rotation... we are a solid 5th in the conference.

think the 5th place rankings is solid when you go back and look at the 3-4 games this team could have won in conference play.
not farfetched that this team could have had the first winning record in b12 play. still could, pulling the double of kansas in a week with the second in lawrence is going to be tough. sweep of wvu is very possible if the frogs follow this recent trend and that puts them at 9-9 which ties their big 12 best record
