Travis is really struggling on both sides of the ball right now.

Can't Miss Shooters
Every game our opponents have a player that can’t miss. It’s usually a known shooter. Is it bad luck or bad defense?
I genuinely believe it's some of both.

Not even kidding...
CMM should start by like, game 3 next year. TC is brutal to watch, bless him.
Contributing Writer for Blogger So Dear, SBN's Wake Forest Blog
Not really. He's had all kinds of space on some of those 18-footers.
Our guys need to be tougher fighting through screens.

That is THE biggest flaw in our D.

We have absolutely no gameplan against Virginia. None.
This is embarrassing.

like some writer said before
prepare to hear “The Ballads of Bzdelik”, i.e. “if only they hadn’t scored 40 and we only put up 19 for the first half, we would have won the game!”

I'm sick of defending Jeff Bzdelik.
Screw this.

He’s an embarrassment to Wake Forest University. His teams don’t play with intelligence or effort.

Because they don't have a good teacher.
The ONLY evidence to the contrary is Ty Walker, but broken clock, twice a day, blah blah.

I usually avoid doing two things at once/I usually watch then think & post
But wow. This is not acceptable at all. 40-19 at the half? I don’t care about his contract, it’s downright humiliating. Stuff like this is what makes me say things like “swan dive”

It really is laughable. It's frankly disgusting, and we don't usually agree.

They could buy out his contract (pay him his salary) and fire him,

Only problem with that is you risk losing the class.
But honestly that might be a risk worth taking at this point.

Never sacrifice the good of the program for one class. There's a class every year. There's only one reputation per school.

Not only that...
But we kept the JT/Travis/Carson/TC/Tabb class after firing Dino. Bzdelik leaving is not a given for losing all or even any of them.

I am sick and freaking tired of not seeing ANY adjustments. That's the part that angers me.
Your offense ISN’T WORKING, COACH. CHANGE SOMETHING. But no, he has his “system” (which has honestly no business being run at any ACC program) an he’s just gonna keep running at that brick wall, sense be damned.
Contributing Writer for Blogger So Dear, SBN's Wake Forest Blog
Yeah and if we still had AFA last year we might've finished in the middle of the league.
You don’t coach for what you wish you had, you coach for what you’ve got.

I have forgiven this BS for far too long.
Jeff Bzdelik has made me look an absolute fool, and the only thing he’s made look worse is this OVER 100 YEAR OLD PROGRAM.

Mike Scott is an unbelievable basketball player.
He’s a hard worker who plays hard every minute. I’d take a team of five one-armed Mike Scotts.

This is the WORST game I have ever seen. By ANY team. EVER.

This is a specious argument at best.
I still believe the friendship between Wellman and Bzdelik is overstated, and Dino’s situation was a dumpster fire.
That said, this is Chernobyl.

Why should we be worried?

Here's the thing.
I legit feel bad for the players. They deserve better than this, even more than we do. It’s sad.

As I just tweeted, Ron Wellman has a much higher tolerance for pain than I do. This just can’t go on, can it?
If it does...

If I was coach..
And I am certainly no basketball coach. I am sure that Bzdelik is a much better coach than I would ever be. However, I think this is as good of a time as any to TRY SOMETHING NEW! You know, to improve for the next game or something dumb like that.
But CULTURE!
And SYSTEMS!
