Coach Orr Pros and Cons

[Globetrotter]

I've had enough. I'm done until we get a coach. To much driving and time wasted.

This program just isn't worth my continued emotional investment. I'll see you guys when we see a new coach.

Couldn't agree more. I reinvested this season with a new arena and a team that should have been good. I left sometimes thinking I cared more than the team. Orr can't motivate a team, and he sure can't motivate a fanbase. I'm out.

You two are funny. Coach Orr will be the head coach next year and you will be right back here on the board.

And you know what? Globetrotter will go back through the 2500+ threads that will be posted after this and locate this thread with your jumping off the bandwagon.

That will take too long now that I have moved them up and disrupted the space time continuum.

Maybe. I will probably still attend games occasionally, I mean it is winter in Bowling Green, not a ton of other options. You are probably also right, BGSU will keep Louis Orr, pay him his roughly 200k, and go thru the motions like it usually does. Sports information will put a positive spin on 16-15, insert coach of the year right behind his losing career record at BG. Sports marketing will run promotions to hand out 500 t-shirts for conference opponents only to have to throw those out later to the fans, because 100 students showed up along with a bunch of empty orange bleachers in the end zone. The media will ask simple questions to Orr trying to get any non-religious quote to do an article on an upcoming opponent, or a certain players development. Ya, it's BGSU sports, where mediocrity happens.

I understand that Dee Brown walked off the court after the game without joining the rest of his team to sing the Alma Mater. He gets rewarded for that bad, unsportsman like behavior by being awarded the post game interview? I also watched another player (I believe it was Torian Oglesby - I was streaming the game) walking around at the opposite end of the court while the rest of the team was singing the Alma Mater. Another example of a poor coach. Orr and his assistants have got to go!!

I confess, I didn't "hang around to sing the alma mater" either. If this had been AA, I"d have been on the court giving the coach my opinion of his coaching ability, alma mater or not. I made a beeline to the door, pointing out to anyone that this coach was pathetic and what I thought of the Anderson club "lock in your ticket prices for 3 years" letter. Geeze, I may not even be in BG next year, let alone the Stroh Center.

It would seem to me we should sing Ay-Ziggy-Zoomba when we win and slink off the floor quietly when we lose at home.

Just a thought.

Ha! You think you're so smart.

I near Akron, about 2 hours away. This year was the first in FIFTY YEARS that my family did not hold season tickets to BGSU basketball. With each passing year, it becomes harder to invest the 6 hour round trip, gasoline, and turnpike tolls just to watch such systematic, institutionalized futility. I may be on the board, but I'll have one hell of a time finding motivation to travel to the Stroh.

Let me offer up a reason. BGSU Women's Basketball!!!! You simply CANNOT argue with the dominating success the program is enjoying right now.

In a about 8 years, my youngest may be our starting power forward!

Ya know, to be fair, I doubt that there was anybody on the planet at that point that cared, especially those seniors that just played their final game. Furthermore, I doubt that there is anybody that still cares, except maybe you. There are meaningful standards for assessment, and that just isn't one of them.

BleedOrange, you may not care about sportsmanship but some of us still do. Crawford fell to the floor because he knew it would be an attention getter and sure enough it was. The Blade had a picture with a caption saying "he collapsed." That is crap. Every player on that team should have been at the end of that gym for the Alma Mater. If Orr were any type of leader he would have made them do what they have done at the end of every other game and participate in the Alma Mater. I commend the MEN that sucked it up and stood as a team. Gee, maybe that was the problem this whole season there was no real "team." I think this is a very meaningful standard of assessment, it shows that the coach has no control of his players.

Well now, I guess that brings the count up to two. Anybody else think that standing there singing after that particular games actually means jack s**t?

Put me down as three.....

Not me......back to 4.

I think it matters...it's a tradition, someihng that ties the team to the school. It's part of what makes college basketball unique. This whole "I'm too distraught to sing" bit is such a load of crap. It reeks of emotional immaturity and demonstrates the lack of focus and leadership that's been an issue for this team all year.

As an unbiased observer I can say that this does not appear to be a zero sum game- there is only one side-the original premise was that only one person still cared. The additional votes on the"care" side disprove the premise and that proof cannot be undone by an equal or greater number of responses on the "don't care" side. perhaps a poll would demonstrate which side has greater support but again-that was not the premise here.

I disagree. After 40 minutes of basketball, and the season coming to an end in such a fashion, the last thing player needs to do is stand there and sing a damned song. It may be a tradition, but it's a stupid, silly tradition. Hokey. It's tradition for tradition sake, regardless of whether the act itself makes any sense whatsoever. Time for some folks to get a grip on human nature and the realities of life. Some things matter. Some don't. Get over it.
