Handy Johnson Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 I’m guessing if we were 10-2 right now there wouldn’t be a lot of discussion regarding Fred’s court side demeanor, his level of “energy” or the sincere concerns for his health… Ron Mexico and Silverbacked1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uneblinstu Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Of course not. But when you're 5-7 when you're supposed to be at worst, 9-3 after the last two years, everything gets overly scrutinized BannedAccount, Handy Johnson and jason2486 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then turned Utah State around immediately, winning the Conference in his first season in Logan. He's highly respected out here in the Beehive State. Most local pundits were happy to keep him in the state and think it's only a matter of time before he gets the Utes rolling. I wouldn't be so quick to judge a Year One rebuild, particularly if your primary complaint is a road loss at a Power 5 school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husker4theSpurs Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 I blame Ryan Anderson for all of this. I sentence him to having to run the stairs at the Devaney yet again and having his coach forget he had him do so and then immediately throwing him into 5 on 5s full court and chewing him out for dragging.
