Wow...we've gone all the way through anger and frustration and reached sympathy and acceptance of our collapse.

Is this what folks mean when they say "we've hit rock bottom?"

You forgot the denial step that a lot of people around here were going through when we were beating the sisters of the poor by 7.

Rock bottom it is. Coaching changes are usually exciting for the fans though.

Maybe we can hire Elisabeth Kubler Ross if Dan doesn't come back

Ooooo, now I am having flashbacks to Philosophy of Death and Dying. Daily doses of death for six weeks in the summer of '89. Good times, good times.

We could save some money by hiring her. I don't think she has many expenses these days.

I reached acceptance before the 1st game was ever played. That's why I didn't mind the weak OOC schedule this year. That's also why I didn't understand all the bitching after any game in which we actually won. We played teams at our level which gave us a chance to see a few more "W's" next to our name this year instead of seeing us lose by 30 points to [INSERT MAJOR SCHOOL NAME HERE]. If we had played a "normal" OOC schedule, we'd be looking at a 4-20 record right now. The MAC looked weak enough that some false confidence could help us pull out a few more wins in the conference than we could have otherwise - didn't happen.

In hindsight, it is interesting that we somehow beat the two toughest OOC opponents this year (Wright State - just beat Butler and in 1st place in the Horizon, and South Alabama - best record in the Sun Belt), but get blown out by NIU and fall to EMU at home.

U guys are soo funny with your sympathy. If you only knew college basketball and what really goes on. We will finally have a new coach that is the bottom line. How many losses have we had in the last 4 years. One other thing do any f you know Dan signs the scholarship papers so we can't keep saying its the players EVERYTHING falls on the HEAD COACH and that is the bottom line. Deal with it.

Yes...feeling badly for another human being who's dealing wuth a difficult set of circumstances is such a silly and misguided thing to do....

It id sad that you think it is ok for him to run off the last 10 guys that actually could have helped the program. U think College programs don't have crazy kids? Get a clue. How much more should we feel sorry for Dan than Ed Schilling at Wright State who is a CHRISTIAN man not Mr F Bomb. Remember Dan ran those kids off that he recruited. He signed there letters of intent the biggest mistake he made was coming back from WVU. Not for us at BGSU but for him. He will never get another shot Athletic Directors won't ever trust him again. So you can think that it is fun for him to get fired in my eyes it is not but he is not the man you portray him to be. There is alot of things that come back to get you when you hurt others. But the funny part is not one of the post will talk about the Jay Keys of the world the Jermery Kings, Seth Dolabou's the Ron Lewis Dan ran those guys off and each defection has gradually took a bite out of BGSU as it was when Dan was there. Lastly DAN be DAN not Knight smarting off to reporters throwing supporterss out of practice. That wears on people. The proof of the empty stand is PROOF that his way is noot the NORM. But each person can keep supporting him and yes it is hard for his family but was it hard when he ran off Crawford, or when he ran of Issac Roosefelt remember he recruited him or even Moss who he threw off for being late to class or when he ran Steven Wright off as well and Heck John Floyd was someone that ARTIE
PEPELEA and DAN recruited while he was at OAKLAND and he still transferred so Go figure? Dan we should feel sorry for you! You are a Saint and you have never wronged any STUDENT ATHLETES.

And the Hamburgers are just AVERAGE but when you need a friend you will say anything! Thats the truth

Nobody has said Dan is a saint, he most certainly is not. However, he is a very good man, despite not being a great basketball coach. I'll be quite glad to see this program head in a new direction, but at the same time I will always wish the best for Dan Dakich. Say of him what you will, but I will never question that he always did what HE thought was best for BG, despite how the results of his actions may have turned out.

Who let their 4-year old use their computer this time?

lilballer34 · Post by **lilballer34** » Tue Feb 13, 2007 7:07 pm

I respect that and I do admire you for that I just don't like for the last two years he has ran off players and coaches and just things haven't been right. It should have been a clue when Pepelea left for a smaller school in MTSU they were connected by the hip but he seen the writing on the wall? I wish him the best as well but it is time to focus on BGSU basketball he knew the risks in coming back in Mid Major basketball the maw is 8-9 years after that you are a sitting duck and this is a perfect case.

I think Dan is one of the top basketball coaches in the country but that doesn't just win you games Brad Brownell at Wright State runs motion and he has the smae players but he has different tactics and that is the difference. So Yes Dan is a GREAT GREAT coach but it is more than just screaming and yelling at young men you have to get them to play.
