The most successful program on Liberty Mountain deserves its own forum. We give Coach Green and the Lady Flames their props while breaking down their run to the Big Dance once again.

I’ll say it since nobody else wants to: pretending LUWBB and LUMBB are even remotely comparable is pure fantasy. Green made finals run in first year of CUSA— congrats!!!!

Winning in women’s basketball is flat-out easier than men’s basketball. Period. Comparing the two is like saying HCJC and HCRM are the same thing. They aren’t. Never have been. Never will be.

And for the “recruiting experts” in the comments, let me help you out. This LU armchair coach actually knows how this works. About 90% of recruiting is assistants filtering, vetting, and deciding who’s worth the head coach’s time. In my recruitment, the head coach was the only contact — no assistants, no middlemen. Different world.

So yes, assistants largely control who gets recruited. If that offends anyone, that’s fine. I’d be shocked if most head coaches weren’t letting assistants do the dirty work while they step in at the end. Facts don’t care about feelings.

Oh I am not confused. You are a liar. You are absolutely one of the people that criticized me. You supported Green heavily that he did well with recruiting. I keep saying he recruited the same level of players. Now this team is showing low level athleticism for most part. Now you are pinning it on Green. Absolutely you are contradicting. You know it and I know it.
You are correct. I absolutely criticized you because your solution in every sport is to fire the coach. I’ve always stated that he recruits players that fit his style. That’s just a statement of fact. You are upset because he didn’t recruit players that would fit your style.
You might want to leave the personal insults out and re read my posts about CG and recruiting. You will find you don’t know what you think you do.
At first you told me that I was mistaken about you criticizing me and now at least you admit it. Like I said, you contradict yourself and you lie. In the past I called for Jackson from baseball to be replaced because of his poor decision making and cost games over the years. Then, I called to replace the hitting coach from softball because almost every hitter had bad approaches with their swings. I called to replace Green, because like you continuously stated, he had his prototype players he recruited. Obviously, those players were not good enough to compete and win outside the conference. I called for a new coach that can bring in players of higher skills. Look what the team had to deal against SHU. SHU are too athletic and faster than LU’s players that Green and AS recruited. Granted, SHU did not have high level basketball players but they had athleticism and speed.
You went on a rant that I want all the LU athletic coaches fired. You are the delusional one here. It’s not a matter of what players I want. It’s logical to desire better players in the program. Then it needs better coaches or the ones that has the ability to bring the higher level players.
Thank you for going on your rant and proving that the only reason you post here is to attack others and bring down everyone else except for yourself. You never seem to have opinions or praise for anyone when they accomplish great things.

With respect, the personal attacks are completely unnecessary.

The point of a forum was for enjoyment and camaraderie of debating sports.

I'd suggest if you find you taking it this seriously then maybe it's time for you to step away.

It would be better for you to do it on your own before moderators are forced to take action, since that's pretty embarrassing for a supposed group of adults.
Those are wise words for a man of your stature.

Or maybe you are biased. You only read my post and failed to read others who have attacked me for writing my opinions.

As I told another, you are biased with your vstatent to me. Maybe you should read other people’s comments towards me. The attacks towards me has been happening for a while just because my views are different. I understand that most of you here walk in the same circle and side each other. But at least be fair.

Just a guess but if you didn't solely post about how coaches should be fired then maybe people would take you a little more seriously

Especially when you never wanted to give the man a fair chance. 1 season isn't a fair chance.

But his expertise on all things Air Force One make it worthwhile to keep him around, don't you think?

Ah, the continuous Middle School frat boys are at it again. You have no other logic to argue, all of you result in Middle school taunting. To think someone points me out about attacking someone. This is good.

I don't know why you keep ignoring the very rational reasoning I keep providing to you for why people aren't taking you seriously. You have done nothing but called for coaches to be fired in all of your posts on this board. Nobody takes it seriously anymore.
