of skill, they aren't very smart when handling the ball, can't shoot from 3,
and shoot free throws like they don't really care what happens.
They are really hard to watch.
Was talking to Kevin McKinney the other day and almost asked him who the new coach would be.
What are you smoking? Edwards biggest weakness is he coaches at the level of a Wyoming middle school basketball coach. The kids on this team look like they have no talent because he is such a terrible coach.castlerocker wrote: ↑Sun Feb 09, 2020 7:59 pm Larry Shyatt seemed to have a knack at finding talented players that

Allen Edwards may have the smarts to be a good coach but hasn't been around long enough to have the contacts at recruiting like Larry.
It was actually Scott Duncan that was the person who found talent. Shyatt hated recruiting, and really was never great at it - here or anywhere. Duncan was a master, both stints at UW, and successes, can point directly toward him.castlerocker wrote: ↑Sun Feb 09, 2020 7:59 pm Larry Shyatt seemed to have a knack at finding talented players that

Wasn't it down to Edwards and Scott Duncan? Man, Burman is clueless at hiring basketball coaches.McPeachy wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2020 12:22 pmIt was actually Scott Duncan that was the person who found talent.

Duncan didn’t want the position since Shyatt was leaving. Duncan was gone either way. Only way he was staying is if Shyatt stayed. So Edwards got it.LanderPoke wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2020 12:59 pmWasn't it down to Edwards and Scott Duncan?

As the story goes, Edwards used to argue with Shyatt about how to coach and what they should be doing. Guess it is pretty obvious why Shyatt was the head man. Edwards is one of the worst coaches ever.
Exactly what I understand as well. That and Duncan really isn't the X's and O's type of guy - he is a recruiter, and players-coach.seattlecowboy wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2020 5:36 pmDuncan didn’t want the position since Shyatt was leaving.

It should cost him his job, but as long as the football team is winning at least 7 to 8 games a year it won’t.McPeachy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 11, 2020 9:05 amExactly what I understand as well.

Edwards lived off JJ, et al - that Duncan recruited for the first years of his tenure...although he really tried to screw that up anyway.
This is strike 3 in my mind with Burman and the basketball program. Schroyer, Schroyer's Extension, Edwards. He has no choice but to hit a HR with the next hire, or it damn well should cost him his job.
