Utah Basketball is officially a joke! Add Comment    May 04, 2010

Listening to the news, sports radio, watching TV and listening to everyone who is even a little bit interested, I have decided that the Utah basketball team has officially hit a dead end.� When your team plays bad, and then four key players, including the two highest scores leave the team, something is wrong.� Players, coaches, schoolnot sure exactly, they dont let me in the locker room, but something is wrong.� I would have to say that when a coach says the team did not play as a team, and leaves it to that, almost blaming the players; I say it is then the Coach!� It is your job Coach, to, well, um.coach!� It is your job to bring the team together, help them mold and mesh.� Maybe coach you should not recruit guys to play in your system when they would fit a better system, either that or adjust your system to your players.� You hear about Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky and other schools doing this all the time.� Learn a lesson.� Also coach, learn a lesson that you are the coach.� If the team fails, you have failed.� You have failed.

So the bright side, we are signing great JC players.� Is this the answer to the problem, I think not.� It takes a special group to mesh within a few months and actually make a run.� I believe if you, coach can help them mesh, let them play their way within your system; you may get us back in the top four of the league.� Can you make a run at a title, probably not, can you get back into the tournament, you better hope so or you will be done.� So in case you actually read this coach, I wish you the best and hope for you and the team.� I wish I could be in the locker room to learn about the team and you, but since I am not, I will just wish you luck.
