Very true, he (or anyone) would have helped, alot, which in itself is saying alot. ANYONE would be a help to this team. Recruiting has been plain BAD! Yes, we lost a few "good ones" but you don't think that comes with the territory? You don't think all schools have to deal with the very same issues we are?
The sooner we stop making excuses, the sooner we fix this thing.
We are fans, we're not going to fix anything, and doc isn't making excuses. He himself has said he needs to get guys that can score better.
Then why hasn't he?
I'll cut Doc some slack ... for now. Next year will be different!
Nobody has said a word about why they feel Doc is a "good coach".
The reason he hasn't gotten that guy yet has been discussed over and over in other topics. Lack of tradition, support, facilities, etc. And yes, i'm frustrated he hasn't gotten that guy yet, also.
Doc is a good coach because he game plans well and gets his players to give 110% night in and night out. He does some questionable things, sure, but what coach doesn't? If you ever listen to a big xii teleconference, tv announcers, or read national/regional writers' articles about doc, every single one of them praises doc for getting nobodies to compete with teams that have FAR more talent. People (including me) question doc's thinking behind playing time, clock management, etc. but the bottom line is he somehow gets trash players to compete against the likes of kansas, k-state, texas, etc. The only real knock you can have on doc at this point is recruiting, because if you watch the games it is obvious that the majority of the time if the talent level were equal he'd be winning.
