If we had Roy Williams, who is a consistent winner over many years with many different players, then blaming the players might make some sense.

We have PH, who has consistently been average or worse for nine ACC seasons with many different players. He's the one consistent factor over all these years of underachievement.

Besides, ripping kids who choose to come to our school is low-rent. It just is. I see no reason to believe they're doing anything other than trying their hardest.

Seriously. No need to rip the players here. They won again in spite of their coach.

This argument surfaced before when Dickey and the others in his class were here. Many called Dickey lazy and a dumbass for how he played, as well as some other players because of the number of bonehead plays we had. Now the argument is repeating itself and at the end of the day you can't blame the employees, you have to blame the CEO.

God, Dickey was lazy as hell. I must have lost several years off of my life screaming at him to box out. It was just unbelievable how little he cared unless we were playing Duke or UNC(at which point he became a force to reckon with.) I used to see him playing at the CRC, it was amazing; he played exactly the same where there that he did on the court.

The first few posts were questioning their intelligence. That's low. If it is a matter of questioning their attitudes, that is corrected by the leadership.
