Time for a change

[bobcats35]

Didn't attend tonights game, only home game I've missed in many years. Glad I didn't waste $28.00 for tickets to see the same old crap from our BBall Team(s). As stated on an earlier post, another disappointing end to another disappointing season. Can't wait until next year for another 15 and 15 season.
We need a change. Huse has had his chance to make something of our program and has failed. Yes we beat the Griz and that's great. But, that's one of very few positives to come out of this program.
We have the facilities and the scholarships as well as loyal boosters and fans that deserve a better team. We for the most part have not recruited quality players for our level of competition.

IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE - HUSE MUST GO !

Maybe we can bring back Stu Starner for his swan song in coaching. We have not had that type of exciting basketball and players since he left.

Let's pool our money and buy him out from the fatcats at Texas A&M.

Motion is seconded. Huse has had plenty of time to make something happen, and we haven't seen it. Time to go.

Oh but guess what? Fields won't fire him because he doesn't care about W's.

[zootowncat]

Easy now, last week after the sweep of the griz in which Huse clearly was the better coach and cat fans praising him to this saying its time to fire him, the reason we lost was not because of the coach. Losing sucks and im just as pissed as anyone but not gonna call for Huse's firing after this loss...yes it was a home playoff game and this will sting but the seniors and players on the court needed to take care of business and they didnt.

Huse has done a good job - MSU's first trip to the BSC title game since Clinton was president, 4 straight trips to the tournament & 3 straight wins over UM isn't THAT bad. Let's not overreact to one game, even if it's a very frustrating one. My main concern is our lack of interior players for next season...doesn't look like either Swita or Anderson are going to pan out and make an impact down low. Hopefully Budinich and anyone else we have coming in next year can do so.

[bobcats35]

Please help me out here - Where should the blame be placed that the players didn't perform tonight or for most of the season, or that we don't have any interior post players now or on the horizon?
Anderson should never ,ever been given a scholarship. He's NOT a D-! player and never will be.

The head coach certainly has to take a certain share of the responsibility for any loss (and for any win), but he wasn't out on the floor making those bad decisions in the last minute. PSU played a good game - MSU had a great chance to win it at the end but didn't make the plays they needed to make. Recruiting is always hit and miss - unfortunately, Huse's hits have been with guards & forwards while all his misses have been with centers. Whether this will be a long term problem is yet to be seen, but I think it's safe to say that the only way Huse leaves is if he decides to take a job elsewhere. It's going to take much worse than a 3rd place finish and first round tourney loss to cost Huse his job. Miss the tournament altogether next year, and he could have a problem.

I used to go to all the Bobcat basketball games but now I find it totally boring. I don't think Coach Huse has lived up to the promise. He doesn't get the students to the games and he has only produced mediocre teams. Yes the wins over the Griz have been good the last couple of years but where is this team on a consistent basis. I think we can do much better. Sorry, not impressed!

Something for everybody to think about: in 2007 N. Colorado was 4-24. Four years later Tad Boyle's team is 24-6.

You can say whatever you want about Huse's coaching, but it isn't his responsibility to entertain you at the games. If you aren't entertained, it's probably you.

I don't think it is time for a change, but we do need to do a great job of recruiting a legit power forward or center for next years team. Having Cody Anderson injured for this game, and Switka not working out hurt this team down low especially with the inability to rotate and keep players fresh.

Besides lacking the inside power like Al Bey, or Mgbunga(sp??), this team didn't have a lot of margin for error for doing anything in this tournament to begin with. They either made their shots and played great defense and gave themselves a chance. Last night they didn't play very good defense.

This team was a very good defensive team (except for 3 pointers) but was almost dead last in defensive and offensive rebounds. It is hard to win games when you can't rebound.

I thought the team played smart/tough basketball most of this season. Huse didn't have a problem developing an offense that created open shots. It seemed like this was the first year Huse established his program of what it will be for years to come.

Recruiting may be a question in the long run, but Coach Huse is a good coach.

The improvement in players like Navarre, Piepoli, Rush and Johnson shows there is quality coaching going on. This team showed great chemistry and poise. As compared to years past, their character was commendable. The team hustled evert night and never gave up on the team concept.These attributes will attract good players. I think the program is heading in the right direction. Huse stays!

Best post on this thread yet.

Jude ie a good coach the players respect him and certain players have improved over the years. The. Big question is recruiting, huse and the coaching staff certainly struggle in this area. I am not a coach but how in Tue world could you bring someone like swita into our program. That was a terrible schollarship to give away. Along with Anderson. Who is one of the biggest guys in the conference but he thinks he is a shooting guard. He needs to get down low and bang like a center should do. If we can bring in some better recruits we should be fine, I don't think coaching is a problem.

Some of you responding to this posting are not attending the same games I'm going to at the "Brick"
Either that or you don't have a clue about the the game of basketball.

ha. well that is one way of looking at it i guess. "if you don't agree with me...you don't know the game of basketball". you know what, i know plenty about the game of basketball. i have played and coached my whole life. i am very familiar with this program, as well as the coaching staff and players. for the millionth time...all is not won or lost based on one game. and for some reason i didn't see you here talking this nonsense after we beat the griz last week. but after a loss here you are. it's a joke actually. i agree huse has yet to show us anything as far as recruiting goes, and i agree that i'm not real happy about that. however, once the season begins there is nothing that can be done about that. and based on the guys on our roster, i think huse did a great job. in fact, i'll go out on a limb and say they over-performed this year. listen, i'm not happy with the cats being mediocre every year. i'm not happy with the fact that i haven't seen the cats play in the dance since i was a freshman in highschool. but i don't see how getting rid of huse will change that. just like i didn't see how getting rid of durham would bring in the wins, and i was right. i'm curious who you think the cats should go for as far as a coach goes, and i'm also curious who of our previous coaches in the last 40 plus years would you like him to be like as far as wins go?

[CATS2000]

I'm not here to say Huse has to go - but losing a home playoff game to a 6 seed is unacceptable at this point. I was at the game and the D was horrid. This should have been an easy win for the 'Cats.

[GrizinWashington]

i'm curious who you think the cats should go for as far as a coach

Ernie Kent is available. Or will be very, very soon.

probably right. although i'd put huse's basketball mind ahead of his anyway.

[CATS2000]

Ernie Kent is not the answer.
