WSR Full Court Report

Was it after a couple of rebuilding seasons? No. We just made the NCAA Final. Not what I would consider a "rebuilding year." We may have lost sophomores, but that was more of a "reload" situation because we were so good.

I'm asking when the last time we had this current set of circumstances befall our program (losing two excellent sophomore starters during a program rebuild). Besides that, it's been a long time since we've lost a top5 draft pick and that's beside the fact that we also unexpectedly lost our floor leader to transfer, our "1st guard off the bench" to injury, and another starter to injury at both the beginning and end of the season.

I'm just saying, come on, be rational. This has been a really, really rough year. I don't think you can make an accurate judgement given the circumstances.

30-8 last year! I think losing DWill, MoMo, and Parrom can explain a 21-10 season.

I agree that CSM is totally responsible for this year. We're in his 3rd season and he's had plenty of time to put his stamp on the program. I have to believe that AD Greg Byrne is having a very serious conversation with coach about how unacceptable his performance has been this season. Missing the tournament and losing to ASU in two out of his three years here. its not an anomaly. it seems to be the standard.

I disagree that he has had enough time. Miller has recruited 12 kids. 4 of those are gone (Bejarano, DWill, MoMo, Sidiki). 2 of them missed significant time with injury this year (Parrom, Mayes). 3 of them are freshman. There is a good reason why some sports writers said it would take Miller 5+ years to get UA back to where it was in their prime.

If DWill and MoMo were back this year and Parrom was healthy. We would be looking at a 1 seed and then you guys would be praising Miller. Put everything in perspective.

Stop it, we are not going to the dance.

Guys, lets give ASU some credit, though it hurts to do so.

They played the best game they have played in years. We can say all night that we shouldn't lose to a team like that, but the stars all lined up for them, they banked in at least 2 3 pters, and shot 55% from the floor.

Blav shot great, but was, as usual, the weak link on defense and was taken advantage of a number of times, especially late in the game. No one can defend his defense, but he isn't in the game for that, and he probably is a net gain for us.

Turner and Johnson didn't show up or contribute much. I don't blame Miller for that. It is his job to motivate them, but they have to step up in a game like this. It was obvious that ASU wasn't just going to roll over for Arizona.

We basically had 4 guys contribute today; Perry, Hill, Fogg, Blav. Five on four, even against ASU, isn't fair.

On a year long scale, losing Parrom for basically the entire season has really hurt this team. Not having Mayes for a string of games has hurt us.

Before the rioting and pitchforks and torches are brought out for Miller, let's reflect the miracle of winning over 20 games with no one over 6'6".

Win two games in the Pac 12 tourney and we squeak into the NCAA. Maybe. Considering the lack of depth, and losing 70% or our scoring from last year's team, Miller has done a good job.

So we're just going to conveniently not count angelo chol and jesse perry? Seems kinda odd. I get your point, I think. But lying isn't cool.

Oh here it goes I was waiting for the if you don't support your team and pudge unconditionally you are not a real fan. Well I say anyone who doesn't demand excellence isn't a real fan either. I am not saying we should fire Miller, but the man is not above criticism. Perhaps if he turned the berating he gives his players in practice onto himself he can see the things he needs to work on in his own game.

THIS IS ARIZONA THE NIT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

The honeymoon for CSM still isn't over. Arizona fans are going to give him a pass b/c they still feel like they're lucky to have him. They have this inferiority complex where they think they can't get a great coach to come to the desert. They could be right. But too many fans are afraid to place to heavy a blame on CSM b/c they're afraid he'll leave. Truth is, he's been here three years, and in two of those years, we've had the worst two teams in the last 25 years. Worse than KO. Worse than Russ Pennell / Mike Dunalp.

Honestly, I think CSM is going to be fine. I think he's going to get this thing turned around eventually (hopefully next season). But he's not above criticism. He's not this guy who is totally irreplaceable. This team stunk up the joint this year, and we'd be okay without him. There are other coaches out there who are great coaches. Heck, people on this board talk shit about Josh Pastner, but every year his teams get better. People didn't want Randy Bennett, but I guarantee his teams would beat us. CSM can get this thing going in the right direction and I'm all for giving him a few more years to really have a fair shot at doing it his way, but there are others out there as well. He's Lucky to be here.

fan comes from FANATIC which explains the looney reaction to a bad loss. no perspective. liver and wk are fans no doubt. they are also knee jerk loonies who lack perspective.

I have been critical all season, please don't paint it as just a reaction to this loss

don't care if you have been negative the entire season. I'd say you lacked perspective all season. what were you saying last year?
