Letter writer critical of Falcon men's coach
To the Editor:
Although we hear a lot about Coach Stan Joplin's tenuous situation 25 miles to the North, the real mess lies right here in Falcon-land. Coach (?) Dan Dakich has systematically dismantled our once proud program. Why he is still here on campus is a mystery to me and many of the declining faithful who continue to show up for games. It isn't the players... they work hard. They want to win, but it is obvious they are not coached. They flail on the floor, they are tentative, it appears as if they are symply broken by a Bobby Knight wanna-be. Now Steven Wright is gone. Dakich advised the press that Steven left the team by " mutual agreement." What a shame .. another talented but disillusioned young man leaves the program!
Why are so many players injured during practice,why do so many quit or transfer? Why are players tentative, why do the flail? We fans know, the administration has to be aware also. Will Dakich be permittied to to drag us further into the basement? It's embarrassing; Dakich is an embarrassment!
When you boil it all down to what's really important ... it's the players! They deserve better; they deserve to leave B.G. with fond memories of their basketball experience. It's time for the Stan and Dan shows to move on. Stan is at least a gentleman; the words that are descriptive of Dan are not printable in your paper.
Hey.... Jim Welling just retired as Owens' basketball coach. He's a young man ... he might look good in orange!
