HB

Yes, has had a fantastic year on defense. But at the next level great gloves/weak bats are a dime a dozen.

No, can't hit a lick.

5 walks, 3 error. Disgusting.

Really sloppy play, physical and mental errors. Must think we're all world after last night. Problem is, it was only Creighton. ?

A little flat early ?

Yeah, but Morrow was really a 3.

Pretty selective snippet from the article. More denials of that scenario in the article than support for it.

NBA players make a lot of money, but they spend a lot also.

Wild times these are. Plus its Masters week.

Yep. Last time I checked the ocean had a lot of salt in it.

Stuff be goin' on.

Yeah, like Standhardinger.

Uh oh. Prepare for meltdown.

No, that would be player abuse.

Ersty hates the safety squeeze, but we gotta do something to score a guy on third with no outs.

Great win. All it took was for me to give up a couple of weeks ago!

Good road win tonight. All it took was for me to give up on the season a week ago. Two long balls?? Wow. Let's keep it going

Let's hold on here!

Nice condescending post, Sam. How I feel about Eichorst's job performance can only be couched in terms of whether I "like him". You know, Sam, if he and I were drinking buddies, I would still think having a one sentence tweet as the only public comment under the circumstances of the past 6 weeks was strange, and the wrong approach. I'm sure your colleague Lee only wrote that column critical of Eichorst and Boehm because he didn't like them. And Eichorst is like SP in many ways. One example is having a "policy" of not talking about a coach in season. Except when he talks about a coach publically in season. SP did the exact same thing with dishing out lavish praise for his hire Callahan during season, yet invoking his "policy" on some other sports when he chose. Kind of like the great Bill Murray line in Ghostbusters about his "rule". "Actually, it's more of a guideline". I know a lot of current and former athletic department employees. They certainly feel there are a lot of similarities between the leadership styles of SE and SP. And I know some coaches who feel the same way. Perhaps we're all wrong, but I wouldn't be so dismissive of it.

No, it's not close to some conspiracy theory. I didn't say he wanted to have the program fail. Those were your words. But he may very well want to make his own hire. If so, he should have done it. If he decided not to, or someone else intervened and said he couldn't, than he should show some support and not go silent for 3 weeks. If the problem is Miles not winning games, than do something about it. But IMO this guy is adding to the problems, not helping any of them.

My point is his sending a pithy tweet and then going radio silence for 3 weeks makes zero sense, and a lot of bad stuff can happen this time of year absent some leadership. No one has set forth a rational reason for that delay. At this point none of it may matter as things looks extremely bleak. And maybe that's what Steve Pedersen Jr. really wanted in the first place.

So 13, do you think sending a short tweet and then going silent for 3 weeks is smart? Good leadership? Even if you say you're not going to comment during the season, is there a reason to delay public comment 3 weeks after the season? Do you think any recruits just might be getting told "careful, don't go there, that guy hasn't' been extended for 2 years and will be gone in one at the latest"? Think the assistants would feel secure? Is Miles Eichort's guy, or is he just cutting his nuts off and letting him twist in the wind?

A long shot, no doubt. Cook said she moves sideways very well. She doesn't move well vertically or "upward" (polite for "can't jump"). Working as a middle.

Who knows what all the cause and effect things are going on. But there is dismal leadership out of Eichorst and Boehm. Eichorst makes no public statements due to his "policy" of not talking during the season (a policy which he selectively follows), while there is a lot of drama, pressure, and season-ending implosion. Then, he sends out one concise tweet saying the coach will be back. Then he says he won't make any public statements for 3 weeks, until after the final 4. Nothing about a contract extension, active or demonstrated support, why he made the decision, reasons for optimism in the program; nothing. So we have tepid support at best, and with no comment on Miles' contract, the feeling that Miles will be one and done with Eichorst (similar to how he retained Bo for one more year; if anyone believed he really supported Bo as a long-term coach at that time contact me for some oceanfront property in the Salt Valley) is pervasive, and rats might want to leave the sinking ship. Despite extremely active recruiting, we get no commitments. Not making excuses but I can't imagine that bizarre way of functioning out of the AD's office hasn't hurt. I have no idea whether any of this caused Ed to transfer, or Glynn to get shopped by his AAU coach per rumors, and if assistants are polishing off their resumes. But Rome has been burning for at least 2 months and all we have is a 3 line tweet from the leader. Now I suppose SE can claim that things have changed since the tweet and he has to make a move. Gets more clout and public support for the move than he would have had at season end. But his weirdness could have caused some of the doom and gloom and further swirling down the drain. Hard to understand this guy. But to me he needed to either make a change (which I would have been fine with), or understand that you have to provide a lot more support than some months old statements and a tweet, which most people don't believe anyway.
