I had family members in text chains telling me to "have faith and patience" and they "liked the Tang hire" after I told them we are playing like garbage and that Tang hasn't impressed me with his adjustments over the last month and was getting clowned by other coaches. Two mutually exclusive things. Sometimes our fans are so brainwashed they refuse to hear criticism. I never once said I wanted Tang fired or anything close to that. It's amazing what people choose to hear/read/comprehend. Makes it hard to be a fan sometimes when you deal with so many people who can't take off the purple sunglasses and look at a situation objectively.
With all due respect, this is stupid. If you're claiming "he's getting clowned by coaches" you're going to need to provide details on that. What are coaches doing to clown him, what adjustments is he needing to make that he isn't? Presumably these coaches are doing something different each game given personnel. What did Tang do in the first Texas Tech game that he didn't the second, what adjustments did Adams make that Tang couldn't figure out?
Getting clowned = getting outcoached. Leads are blown. Players are not adjusting to the game. Putting Keyontae in position to pick up two quick fouls in first 3 minutes of games. Last game we were double teaming down low and giving them wide open looks at 3. OU missed in the 1st half on 3's but was killing us in the 2nd. Moser stuck with his gameplan as he saw the potential if those 3's started going in. Why are we not adjusting to that? Why are we blowing a 10-point lead to Texas at home?
It's a bad stretch, but a lot of points of failure we are not fixing. Tang is getting outcoached because the other coaches are exposing our weaknesses (Keyontae's aggressiveness driving to basket, Nowell's careless passing, team's over-aggressive style of play, etc.). Have you noticed the opposing teams anticipating all these bad Nowell drive passes? Turnovers are out of control. Some of these guys would have been benched during the Huggins/Martin days.
We've only beat a Miles Jr.-less team at home since Jan 21st. We have a good team, but they are in a funk and the coaches haven't figured out how to get past it (yet). I think Tang will figure it out (I think).
