I would play for him anytime..........
- Thread starter number1
- Start date
Sure, especially if you liked losing. Worst basketball coach in conference play in ISU history.
Quick, see how Wesley Johnson or Justin Hamilton or Lucca Staiger or Dody Dunson or Corey Johnson feel about Greg. Would they be all hugging it out too?
Seems for every JVDB there are about 4 or 5 guys that would tell Greg to get lost.

I've always longed to play for a coach who would hold me in a warm, gentle embrace as well.

I wouldn't. That many players can't all be wrong.
I have no doubts, as much as it pains me to think it, that the three who stayed would have gone if they had the eligibility to do so. Very few programs have a vacancy for a one-year transfer.
Except for ours, and we are really lucky to have Jake Anderson.

I have nothing against him either. I think that he was a good man, and a good coach. Just not the style of coach that can be successful at a bigger school. I was always puling for him to get over that hump but it was apparent that he couldn't do it here. And really now look at where we are at!!! Without him and now getting to have the mayor back coaching here is just the best. I know it is early but I think we finally can maybe start to see over that hill and then going into next year. It's been a long time for me to feel this good about the future. Both for whatever we can get this year and the years to come.
I would not play for him. Well I would but then I would transfer after a year.

You guys have to understand the context. JVB just switched to the Mach 3.
You are right. Big 12 athletes don't want to run plays and be team players....FH freelance game will work though I don't care for it as a basketball purist.
I've never met him, but McDermott seems like a good man. Unfortunately, your job depends on performance, and he simply didn't get it done here. I wish him well at Creighton though (just not yesterday).
Greg, I'm sorry you lost, but we've moved on and you should too. Shouldn't you be watching game film or something now?
I like him. He didn't win here, but he wasn't a good fit. He did great and UNI and probably will do well at Creighton as well
the big 12 coaches all spoke so high of him as well...they didn't want to see that system with 500 plays leave the big 12 because they knew it wouldn't work

Two thoughts about this:
1) "Running plays" doesn't make a basketball game any more pure than a complete lack of plays.
2) If you watch the game, our guys actually run some plays.
You can still feel pure while enjoying a style that's flexible enough to succeed.
I don't know, I think Ben Jacobsen is a pretty damn good game coach and wonder how much in game coaching he did while Greg was at UNI.

Until Greg proves otherwise at Creighton, I'm assuming that he did most of it, and certainly did most of the player relations sort of stuff.
