Solution to TCU's Basketball problem

[ChemicalArts]

Take heart. Auburn's basketball team is just as bad as ours!

I guess good football accompanied by good basketball can't happen....

Plus they have a brand new facility.

Except Florida did it a few years ago. They won the title for both football and bball in the same year...or pretty close to the same year.

If this hasn't been posted it should have been. Now that we are going B E we should consider bringing Jamie back home. Dixon has done a great job at Pitt and perhaps would not consider leaving but now we are Big East does the playing field change for him. It would be great to have him back at TCU. Pappy your thoughts please....

Doesn't he have family ties up there?

Does Christian get the opportunity to recruit with the Big East in our future? I say, yes.

 

[TCUSA]

I just don't think he is the guy and I don't think it is his fault. I'll be the first to admit that I don't know crap about basketball but I do think TCU needs to do something bold and that is going out and landing a nationally recognized coach who would commit to a long term deal which included a commitment from the school and alumni to turn this ship around. Coach Christian is a great guy and probably a great coach who is in the wrong place at the wrong time.

We had that and people still weren't happy...

We need to win first, then make the financial and human commitment. That's how it works.

Patterson and Schlossnagle have found success and are now in the position where they could ask for virtually anything and receive it.

Do we have recruits knocking down our doors to come here now that we are going to the Big East? Haven't heard of any. Kids still want to know they are going to play for a good coach also.

We need to hire Billy Gillispie first, then make the financial and human commitment. That's how it works.

I agree.

 

[purpleshades]

Its Christian's third year. It shouldn't be this bad. His first recruiting class should be upper classmen. I'm not sure he should be the coach next year.

See The Ohio State University-FYI.

once you go 0-18 and lose in the openers in "The Garden" in tournie play then you will get a new coach.

Wow. That sounds real easy.

Just how are we going to win first. We have a coach that cannot recruit good players to come to a doormat team with zero fan support. We have problems that require dismissing players. We are sure to finish dead last in the MWC. We are going to the best basketball conference in the country.

How has "win first, then make the financial and human commitment" thing worked out the past 7 or 8 years?

How about 1-15 and lose in the opener at the Thomas & Mack Center, do we get one then?

We aren't going to let CJC go, mainly, due to money. I get the feeling they don't think there is anyone out there that can do a better job right now. I would not be surprised if CJC gets an extension, albeit a small one.

He hasn't done anything to warrant an extension but he does have next year.

I know that it looks bad right now but this is the time to get behind those guys

2.crowd was pretty pathetic and sparse.Huggins complains when 7-8000 show up for some low [Deleted] in Morgantown.
3.not much talent on the floor.
4.this team will never win a game in the BE.
