to call the Players Only meeting? Because it’s overdue. I just don’t know who would take that lead. JJ see a to be the candidate but I don’t know if he has that in him.
 
Nobody cares. I don’t mean that in a dismissive way. I mean the players don’t care, I think the fans have stopped caring, and if the admins and coaches care they have a funny way of showing it.
 
What does a player's only meeting accomplish?
It's usually because the players themselves want to get on the same page amongst themselves without the coach's presence.

It could be to unite and rally as a unit for the coach...I remember some teams do that after losing a team member (death) or hearing the coach is on a hot seat so they want to galvanize and elevate FOR the team.

It could also be to unite AGAINST the coach.
 
Most players only meetings have to be called by someone who has accomplished something of which we have nobody. Or someone who is tough and scares people, something we are also lacking.

Thank you for explaining this to the less educated hoops members here

I know what it's usually for. But with this team what would it accomplish?
 
They would most likely start the meeting with how big of bag each of them are getting.
 
I don't know that we have that guy that anyone would actually listen to/be inspired by.

Food fight as a team building exercise, throwing around dry rub marinate and powder...ultimate goal should be to get more wins for their sake, otherwise, how could they maximize the NIL demand for their next stop after this season?

What's he going to do..teach them to play defense?
 
Do the coaches even have meetings? Sure doesn’t seem like it
 
Gonna speculate here, as long as everyone else is.

The players' on court effort has been terrible. This has to be a reflection of the practices. I can see Autry and the staff trying to ramp up the players' effort level during practice, esp defense and rebounding, and the players not responding.

The players are not motivated to put forth the needed effort, but they also see the end result: 5-6 and heading in the wrong direction, fast.

The players need to decide, as a team, to play, no matter what they think of Autry and the staff.

Who to call that meeting? It could still be JJ. Maybe Lampkin. Def not Bell. Maybe Moore. He's the only one that plays like he means it.

Has anyone here attended recent practices and willing to share what goes on? Chemistry, intensity, body languages, players, coaches, what are they practicing?
