I know most won't agree with me but I have no problem with trying to score on every play/possession.. the only exception is when your opponent is too small or old or young. Make sure you play all you guys though.

Walk off the field as you must but take that ass whipping like a man ..bother' s me more to whine about it..

From the article, it doesn't appear any of the opponants were whining. It also says his boss specifically told him not to run up the score. And by the coaches own statements, he ran up the score in some games anyway, despite his understanding of what his boss said. It depends on the work situation, but I've had some bosses in the past who told you to jump and you better say how high on the way up. This coach went against the specific wishes of his boss. In the real world, you can and will get fired for that!

Much more to the story here. Like others have said....very doubtful the "real" reason is due to his running up the score on anyone. Probably a big ego problem employee not worth the trouble he caused at the school even if he did win games. I've had to "find other career opportunities" for employees in my time that performed quite well, but were pretty much cancers within the organization. Life's too short to put up with these folks and there are way too many alternatives out there to put up with this sort of employee.

Have no clue what really went on...just reading between the lines and drawing on a bit of experience...something just says there is way more to this.

What if the opponent cheats AND runs the score up? Would you have a problem with that?

      I think Floyd is going to be solid at the point. Our backcourt is deep with good shooters. Massey has me really intrigued as he hit the glass and appears to have some hops to him. I think I expected more out of Wright, thinking he was our prized pick up out of the portal. Lorient, even if Hodge says he is the most athletic player he has had during his time here, doesn’t really have a shot and doesn’t go up strong at the rim. I thought Sissoko looked tons better than last year. Better hands, couple of steals and solid play in the paint. He’s not going to be a double double player for us and that’s alright with the scorers around him. Stone still runs to hot. I think in his effort to be our energy/hustle player on defense, it hurts his offensive game. He rushes to shoot or pass and the same dribbling to the basket. How many breaks has he had where he didn’t finish? There is no rhythm to his offensive game and that kills him. He either has to contribute more on offense, or we need to give Cotton and Mason a shot. I don’t know much about the freshman Smith, but he needs to put in some weight and probably get up to the speed of the D1 game. Hope to see some of the youngsters tomorrow night.

      I'll be at The Pit tomorrow, but between my friend group we've got 8 tickets unable to be used. All lower level near the UNT bench - two solos, a pair, and a group of 4. If anyone needs tickets, let me know! Per my ticket rep a ticket for the men's game will also get you into the women's game at 5:30 if you can make it.
