BOL Round Table

If he misses this year and next, yes.

Absolutely....with as many guys as we have coming back and the two post signees. He should be fired if we're a bubble team next year, if we don't make the tourney he should be fired right after the selection show.

I agree, anything less than an invite to the dance should bring grant to the curb. I really like him as a person. I'm just afraid he might be a worse version of mark Richt.

Yes you can't take the forward steps he took the 2nd and 3rd year and then go backward two years after that with your prized recruiting class.

Personally, I don't think it can be an absolute get in or your gone scenario, but I get your point.
What is "catastrophic"? I don't know. That's why an AD gets paid to take everything into context, know if a coach has lost a team/program, and/or is going the things off the court (recruiting etc) to move it in the right direction.

I've repeated myself a million times but there are several things that this coach, the players, and the AD need to do this offseason to shake this program up.
All of those people need to look deep within themselves and decide if they are willing to take actions outside their comfort zone to shift the paradigm of this program.
Are these players willing to rededicate themselves to the gym and weight room?
Is the coach willing to alter his recruiting strategy, and hire assistant coaches who can provide meaningful contribution to the recruiting and team, esp. a new offensive philosophy?

Is Mal Moore willing to possibly hurt the feelings of some big money boosters/ ticket holders and shift the seating in Coleman to reinvigorate the home court atmosphere?

I agree with this 100%. it ain't just the coach folks.

Ive done a total 180 on the whole student seating issue.
And while I still don't think that the students have done everything that they can do to earn those seats and make Moores decision more justifiable.
The prevailing fact is that most of those lower bowl ticket holders don't even use the seats anyway! They buy them purely for tide totals points.
So if that's the case what do they care where the seats are? Stick them up a section.
Heck, for the ones that to care, UA could easily figure out a way to add some club level perks or other amenities to soften the blow.
It all just comes down to: does Mal/UA care enough about hoops to spend some money and possibly hurt some feelings in order to help improve the basketball program?

It is easier to take and make shots when the ball is moving and you have some type of offensive purpose like we did the last 5 minutes of the game. It is hard as heck to make them when you are having to force them up late and you aren't in good shooting position. Our offensive philosophy of running the clock down and not taking shot early is the problem. Think back to how many times we have set plays up for Lacey off of screens he has made the shot. It is because he knows he going to take the shot and is preparing himself to do so. That isn't occurring the majority of the time because there is a lot of standing around and little offense aggression.

We have not missed it this year yet.
