Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Making shots in a stupid shooting drill is a lot different than playing in games.
JD was a 5 star, coach him and the other players up better. Come up with a better offense than this shit where they all stand around looking to throw up 3s. Coach them to their strengths, not some analysis bullshit.
It funny how it was on the previous coach for not developing players but it’s not Oats fault that his players hasn’t gotten better. Shit if it wasn’t for the previous coach players, last year would have ended up in the NIT…
Crazy thing is...ND is not a very good basketball team! And they just waxed our Butts.
Are you at practices? Because I've never seen a practice Rojas has dominated like you said. This game resulted from a few things. 1) #5 averages 8 ppg and hes got about 30 2) JQ is continually our best player deep down the line in close games. Makes a massive difference because now our best guard hands the ball of better than tom brady, his are just to the other team. This is what happens when you try to keep "good kids" from in state. In the state of alabama high school basketball is taught very different. Very low level IQ coaching. from MS to GA. It shows with most "top recruits" from these states.
I’m afraid our coach is over his head. This was a bad team. Really bad basketball the second half of the year. Turnovers. Shitty D. Shitty substitution rotation. Shitty game management. At least Rojas got his minutes
When it was time to finish this season, botton line is this team just does not have it.
We all hoped all year this team would find it again in March… we played our worst ball of the season in March and every issue this team had showed up when it mattered. It is what it is.. RTR. Maybe next year
The fish heads just eat our Oates.
Maybe we will get a good coach before the new facility is completed.
Can’t wait for all the excuses of how it was not Oats fault at all.
Avery never got to coach him, willing to bet if he did his shot selection would be better and he would play better defense. Herb and Petty was by far the toughest players on the team last year.
JD was a 5* in the state of alabama for basketball. JD has actually got better through the year. He literally just sucks because of where hes from and the lack of knowledge from coaching throughout the state of alabama. Can't see the floor to save his life. JD will have to play years in the Gleague if he leaves or develop here.
Horrible product. No sugar coating it. We were not going to win this game even if JQ did not get hurt. They just weren’t.
Next year is a make or break year for Oats. Not from a win/loss perspective but from general effort, toughness, hustle and making smart decisions with the ball.
Avery couldnt coach to save his life. He just liked to talk about it. Never reached the sweet 16. or back to back tournaments
Keep Oats, he needs a reality check that his shit don’t stink. He needs to learn for coaches like Coach K instead of making arrogant remarks about on of the best ever to do it.
I actually think they could have easily won it. Its a much slower pace with JD. And you can't count on him to completely suck if hes the go to. JQ is edgy and the best down the line for us in close games.
I'd keep him for sure. Dude just went to the sweet16 and back to back tournaments lmao.
What are you talking about? Think everyone on here agrees we had to have an impressive combination of bad play and bad coaching to achieve this kind of collapse. I do know that Bray didn't coach 29 points out of Ryan today. Pretty sure he just delivered, and we don't do that anymore.
Make or break? Back to back tournaments. Just coming off a sweet 16....You high?
Shack 4 for 17.....sheesh (and Miles was 2 for 7)
Meanwhile Ryan for ND, averaging 8ppg, scores 29 on 12 shots, and ND shoots over 60% from 3pt as a team.
CNO has to find some guards, so I sure hope Bradley, Griffen, and Miller come ready to play, but CNO still really needs to scour the transfers and find some options.
Just unacceptable guard play on O and D for much of this year.

dude averaged 8 points a game haha. Bray probably just clapped and happy he did it.
Keep thinking it. I remember all the hype about Rojas at practice. Maybe these guys play well at practice bc our defense is guarding them. Bottom line, Oats can only coach if he has the players to fit his system. He can’t adjust and make things work with any other types of players.
We don’t have a half court offense. And we have nothing to fall back on defensively to break teams rhythms and such.
But has nothing to do with how bad they play D. It is historically bad at every level.
I dont think it. I literally see it. Every practice. Oats just went to the sweet 16 and back to back tournament appearances. Just won the sec reg season and tournament. yep people bashing him like crazy is truly funny.
After the first couple, a coach who is willing to adjust would have ran him off of that handoff. His defender got hit with the screener on the handoff and our big was playing drop. But no need to adjust.
not defending oats at all, but can’t wait for you candy ass excuse about JD. Good riddance to him. Sorry as all get out.
Did you not watch the game? He could have been getting touched by their team priest while chucking up a 3 and still would have made every shot. Didnt matter when he was smothered. Sometimes players just have those games.
I'm not saying he should or will be fired after next season but he cannot field another team next season with this much talent only to watch them play so poorly for 2 months straight. If the team plays like this next season then he should be on the hot seat going into the '23-'24 season. Sorry, Oats makes way too much money to field a team that poorly prepared and coached.

Right now he's the Gus Malzahn of CBB. Last year might have been a little bit of smoke and mirrors with teams having limited practice time due to COVID.
Teams in the SEC will not allow you to be a one-trick pony and win consistently. He needs to develop his coaching style and develop his players because I didn't see any growth from them individually or as a team.
Hes avoiding everything i've said about JD. He needs to hit the portal and go play for the peacocks or go gleague for years.
He went to the sweet 16. He lost the core of that group. We were all happy. But this group couldn’t play the same way and Oats did not adjust. If you think he got everything he could have out of this group, we will never agree. He may have got everything out of them playing his system. But without a doubt, he could have got more out of them by adjusting things.
Does not matter. This product sucks from here to the moon. Oats won last year with a senior laden team be did not recruit. Other teams have basketball players/ not sure what the hell we have in Tuscaloosa.
