Something has to be done.

[Green Mean]

If CJ and Jordan can play like they are capable of and have before in the past few years we will be in line for a lot of wins this season... But as of now it's looking very dim :/

By God in heaven you've watched the program Johnny built you have got balls saying that, you have got balls saying that Andrew, you have got real nerves saying that you have got nerves saying that! That is utter unbelievable nerve. Nerve! That is nerve!

The whole audio is a great listen but if you listen start listening at the 6:40 mark it's a treat and all I can think of is Andrew when I'm listening tot hat caller.

Someone on here said he basically stormed out of the Northwood game in anger.

For realz? I haven't heard that yet

Yeah, don't remember who or in what thread. Someone said Ernie was a Benny supporter, then someone said he left the Northwood game not happy and before it was over.

[Andrew]

It's that much to say that CJ is not playing like a point guard and that he can play better? Really... I'm not bashing the kid but his minutes should be at the pg position but as of now Alzee has taken a lot of those minutes. Really not of line there. It is a fact. CJ has been a bit loose with the ball this year but I know he can bring it back, and when he does we should see some W's.

Probably just in a hurry to pick up Benny's dry cleaning.

[Andrew]

Lots of blame to go around and someone in practice needs to be emphasizing defense. That is obvious. Until I see them practice I will not know where all the blame goes. Lots of things going wrong this season but every game leaves a slight hope at the very end. If we could play the whole game like we do the last 5 minutes we would be a very good team. Maybe we need an extra 5 on the clock haha

[NT03]

I'm so lost.... Things gotta get better ASAP

Who Is that tweet?

[UNT90]

Am I suppose to come up with something...? It sucks. We have promise but as of now it sucks. I was thinking we start the season 4-2 maybe 3-3.... So we need this one and it's just not happening.

So, when players have talent that doesn't translate to the floor, whose fault would that be, Andrew?

[TheTastyGreek]

People, people... Let's not fight.

This Benford Era could be over before we know it. If he gets fired midseason, do we want our last memories of this to be of us all fighting and arguing?

Let's cherish it while it lasts. It's practically a miracle to be brought this low this fast. Marvel at it! It's like we're witnessing the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs, live and in person!

[Andrew]

So, when players have talent that doesn't translate to the floor, whose fault would that be, Andrew?

I would think a mix of both. It is their job on the floor to perform and the coaches job to prepare them. It's a mix of both. We can all agree tonight was a pretty poor showing. Yet the last x5 minutes every game we someone decide we want to win...

[NT03]

Does Ray Harper have a twin brother ?

[Andrew]

Who is this?

[UNT90]

I've been one to try and give Benford some leeway. This is still early in the season and there's a lot of basketball left to be played.

I gotta say this though-- hearing Benford in post game state that he and his coaches told the players they had to defend the three is getting old. His job is not just to tell them what to do but to get them to execute.

Blaming the players? Benford? Really?

Shocked.

I mean, he even got RV to but into it.

Seriously, if this is what he is doing, he will lose the player's trust and this whole thing will melt down just like last year. Maybe then some will finally see the common denominator in this whole deal.

No, Andrew, that is the other team just running out the clock.

Good god.

Two nights in a row!

Maybe if we can just have an intern print the scouting report, we can get rid of Benford entirely?

[Andrew]

The other team running out the clock makes us hit some amazing and deep threes? Wonder why we cannot hit them sooner

Benny Ball watching party:

Picking up on a theme?

A real coach would step in front of the bullet for his players... Not blame them, even if it is their fault.

[BillySee58]

Who is this?

Jordan Williams.

Defense.

Ever heard of it?

[UNT90]

Which is why he will lose this team if he continues down this path.

Oh, and so should an AD, by the way.

[Andrew]

Jordan Williams.

Thanks. I wonder if he is talking about himself or the team. I hate tweets. So unreadable!
