Eh, I don't know, these all seem like fair criticisms and could be argued either way.

First, I'm not sure our player development has been all that stellar of late.  A mixed bag - but probably reasonable to argue either side, good, bad, or ugly.

Second, college basketball has a ton to do with recruiting, and that aspect of the game is probably more important than coaching to some extent.  OBVIOUSLY, coaching matters, but if you can recruit - you're going to be competitive.  JB is a great coach in my opinion, but there are small things I wish we would implement that we seem to utilize only in the most dire of circumstances.  We seem to generally make great adjustments in the zone though.

I don't know, I don't particularly like the way things shake out at times - like with FH last night.  It's fine to criticize that, and still appreciate how great he is as a coach.

I hope JB coaches the team until he's 100.  If I could never find out how Mike Hopkins is going to do because JB outlasts him, that's fine with me.  I dread the future without him.  I don't know why these arguments get so emotional for certain people - it's oddly fanboy'ish.

Bees post was probably the best accounting (educated guess?) of what we saw transpire.  I would still say he overreacted, but I did notice Frank get called back as well.  JB was probably already hot, and more than likely was ready to go off at anything after that - and Frank aggravated him further with some small miscues (or huge depending upon your angle I guess).

I think that's all anyone is arguing.  It's quite fair to disagree - but the whole, "how dare you," routine is bizarro-world stuff on a sports forum.
