I’m not pleased with Autry, but I think he needs more time.  His mistake was his portal pickups, but that too might get better as the season goes on. Taylor, Carlos and Lampkin looked better yesterday and Davis has had some big moments.  Coaching is hard when you don’t have all the pieces you want as a coach.  It’s easy to make adjustments when you have quality players.  When you don’t, you’re constantly trying to find a rotation or someone you can trust to play effectively. Losing your best player and best athlete doesn’t help.  Autry is respected in the coaching community.  Being a head coach at a major program is a different animal. Let’s see how things shake out this year.  It looks like the team is still listening.  Reports about what the players are thinking after yesterday’s game are encouraging.  I still think this team has the pieces to be a good team.  We have to get JJ back ASAP.  We’re starting to see a role for some of these players. Cuffe, Petar and Taylor can be effective in certain situations.  Even Carlos has been much better in the past few games.  We need to get Moore going.  He’s playing too fast and trying to do too much. He might be really effective in the new pressing style Red’s showing. We flat out need him to make shots. He might be potentially the most explosive offensive player on this team.  It’s tough as fans when we want more, but this team needs confidence.  There’s too much negativity going on right now instead of support.  Tuesday’s game could be a huge turn around for this team.
