Most Memorable Bobcat Events Attended 2010 97-83 win over Georgetown in NCAA 1st round 2012 45-13 victory over ULM in the Independence Bowl 2015 34-3 drubbing of Miami @ Peden front of 25,086 Back to Top greencat General User Member Since: 3/12/2005 Post Count: 2,086 Status: Offline     RE: if wekept larry hunter he would still be here    Posted: 2/19/2017 7:25:49 PM  Uncle Wes wrote: Did Larry Hunter break into the Top 25 with Western Carolina? If you were an upper level mid-major prospect in the Carolinas/Georgia/Tennessee are would YOU pick Western Carolina (in BFE but not in a cool way like Athens) over Chattanooga/Belmont/MTSU/UNC-W/etc no matter who the coach is? Even with the disadvantage of being at an anonymous school, Hunter did have an 18, a 19, and a 22 win season at WCU. At the age of 67+, he should be retired by now anyway.

Hunter lost his top recruiters and had no significant contacts in the Carolinas. He and Reggie Rankin would have been pretty good in the MAC. Saul has a good basketball mind. He needs to get some assistants to develop our recruits. JC has potential, he has all around talent that needs to turn into an all around game. he gets into foul trouble now which is to be expected. he has never played against this amount of talent. No lie, I went to a Cleveland Cavaliers game in Lebron's first or second year and Vince Carter hung 30 on him by half time, by Lebron's fourth year, he was an all-NBA defender. Dartis needs to be able to fake the three, take two dribbles and draw the D and pass or hit the pull up J. Block needs to be able to do something great, he is like alright in everything. He needs to recruit competition for that spot. Simmons is putting it all together, he just needs to be consisten. Taylor needs to be able to dominate the boards and block shots and be deadly from 12 foot in. We will see what the next few years bring. Most of all,the coach needs to be able to settle the team at the end of games and be able to draw up plays where we can score down the stretch Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

It doesn't matter what level your school is, you should still expect to be in the upper echelon of your conference consistently. In 12 years with the Catamounts he has a 102-103 conference record. I liked Larry but if he had done a good job then Western Carolina would be on the same level as Chattanooga or above. Larry put together a lot of pretty good teams in his time here but without Gary Trent he couldn't win in Cleveland (or Toledo or Detroit or wherever the tournament was when he was here.) Being a MAC coach that struggles to get past the quarterfinals of the MAC tournament isn't going to keep you around long.

That's when I knew he was done. #BleedGreen #TrentIsGOAT Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 19  of 19 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'Ohio Basketball' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 127 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 126 Guests 1 Registered User:   LuckySparrow There are no other users looking at this page.
