Stack knows more about basketball than I do. But what I do know is that if he wants to keep his job he needs to change is starting lineup.

Dort, Smith/Dia, Wright, Stute, and Manjon. Stute at this rate should come off the bench for Shelby if he can't make 3's. It's not hard. You have to score, or win, or play the young guns.

Hopefully we revert to the mean with some better second half shooting.

Wright needs new shoes...he slips and falls a lot. He hit a couple early so I thought he would have a big game. Come on guys!

Stat summary. VU is 10-40 FG. Stute 0-2, Thomas 0-4, Lawrence 1-7, Wright 2-7. That's 3-20, half our shots.

Dare I say that this is not going to work. Our players who have no athleticism and can't get open or easy buckets are taking all the wrong shots. Yet Dort gets no offense and he has 5 points 100% FG%, 4 rebounds and a block.

The players we rely on we can't rely on. We can't make the post season. It's time we play every single player than can contribute in 2024.

Don't know about basketball but Ive kept my job in corporate America at the same company for 20 years now getting raises along the way. I do know how to keep a job and perform. Just not in basketball but running a team of 40 people successfully I have done. And when you have a bad year, you better be able to point to the future and show off your talent. If you don't you are history. There's a lot of people that have wanted my job, just like Stack. He better show that the future is better than the present and like soon. Or there's 1M people that would love his salary

What a screw job with the ref tripping Lewis and then giving the ball back to bama as it goes out of bounds.

This is embarrassing. We are slipping and falling down on every possession. Just not sure footed and obviously not confident. This is how you spiral out of control. Where's the team from last game? I never expected us to win but we look like a high school team today. Play like this for the next 4-6 weeks without Liam and there will be a coaching search.

I like Stack, I love his intensity, defensive approach, etc. Lots to like and I think he can be successful if he throws away his hubris. He needs to show that 2024 or 2025 will lead us to the NCAA or he should just resign. I imagine next year and I shudder at what's on the court.

He has a net worth of 70million$$ .... So he needs your advice or even this job?

There might be a million people who need what he is getting paid here. But he isn't one of them.

Are you crazy? His net worth has nothing to do with his performance as VU coach.
