Who's going to be in on Tad's "State of the Program" call tomorrow?

What questions are you going to ask?

I have a bunch of ones I'd like answered, but I'm too polite to ask them.

1) After four years with zero disciplinary problems on the team, what the hell happened last year?
2) WTF is XJ's problem?
3) Why don't you pull guys when they make stupid, lazy passes that get picked off? Worse is when they just randomly throw the ball out of bounds. Where did that come from all of a sudden?

I'll be on - this will be heavily moderated, you are likely going to ask your question to a host who will then relay to Tad on the call - mostly softball questions IMO, zero chance they let this get awkward or Tad gets put on the spot.

 

[FLounder]

The grand question: Why do you always bench the player who's getting hot.

 

[Daaah]

Do you regret focusing on an uptempo offense in the lead up to last season?

 

[tante]

What is your new recruiting focus?

Beyond that, they seem to give preference to older boosters who have supported the program a long time.

Kinda interesting. He's finally acknowledging a lack of leadership and chemistry last year. He also brought up a lack of desire down the stretch, which he denied, but why did he bring it up?

Finally acknowledging a lack of leadership? He called out Booker all year, sometimes in nice subtle ways, and other times he just referred to the seniors showing no leadership....at all. Every press conference I watched Tad do, the topic of lack of leadership, specifically senior leadership came up. There was no other senior that played, just had to read between the lines.

For whatever reason, every basketball coach seems to do this and I've never understood it.
