Simple Solution:
1. Hire Bona-fide Division I Coach
2. Recruit talented players that can Shoot, Rebound, Defend, Run, Hustle and more. Oh and Hit Free Throws and Lay Ups.
Again there are 500,000 male basketball players in America alone.
Find 14 of them that has heart, smarts, team player and Aggie Pride. That is a formula for winning and restoring the credibility of our program.

Horton was not the only one that missed a layup.

We need this win to move into 5th place with a Drexel loss to Towson today. Drexel won in overtime, so we are now 2 games behind them stuck in 6th. Not a good day all around.

Same old same old. Terrible shot selection. We refuse to box out. #13, #25, and #31 CANNOT SCORE 1 foot from the basket. Enough bricks were thrown up by #2, #3, & #4 to start construction on the new Aggie athletic complexes we have been asking for. SMH I love how these threads on game day start...first they are so optimistic. Lot's of chatter about the conference, the fans, the pep band etc. But the minute the game starts, reality hits! And the reality is this team is a hot mess. So after the game we return to being optimistic about the season and our chances in the conference tournament.

Horton was not the only one that missed a layup. Agreed. It was just that it would have bought us to within 5. That said, it wasn't as late in the game as I thought...9+ mins.

I understand what you are saying. However, to me he is the best player on the team overall. It is a mystery to me why they don't involve him more in the offense.

Maxell it is obvious that some Aggies are not obvious to the fact that we need to revamp our basketball program and hire a Bona-fide Division I Coach to restore us to respectability. I like Coach Shumpert as a person and the job he has done as a coach on the spur of the moment. That said it is obvious that he is not the right person for the HC job. It is obvious that the team of Martin/Hilton are not that smart and astute in hiring basketball coaches on the Division I level. My points in my statement may be obvious in your eyesight and a few others but the fact remains that we need changes made in our basketball program. Some people don't think change is necessary at this time. However, it is not so obvious that we need change by some people who have not learned the failures of the continuance of hiring sub par coaches, Interim or otherwise. They are still ok with the continuance of hiring sub par coaches. MY point about hiring better coaches and recruiting top notch players may be obvious to most but not all. Where do you stand Max?

Hey there's good news on the horizon... this ugly season is almost over. We have just 4 more games to stumble through and then we can start the visual... obsessing over who will or won't be our next head coach and which players will remain and how to fix those players that remain and how to improve our facilities and all the other hundred of things us Aggies obsess over when it comes to sports. So start drafting your list of the 200 most and least qualified potential men's basketball coaches (all of them at one time will be discussed on this site before we finally pick a Head Coach) and get ready for the long visual!

I’m with you on both points. In this transition to the CAA, it’s not as simple as it could be. It seems as if we’ve chosen to be a football school. I could be wrong. We’ll see.

We are a football school. We joined the wrong conference from a basketball perspective because the successful men's teams in the CAA are non-football schools. They pay their coaches much more than our football head coach to remain that way. Yes, we can find a good coach for less, but will we as fans give him time to build a good program against these odds.

We are not a football school...We are a basketball school. We have more conference championships in basketball than football. Correction, CAA is a basketball and football conference.

That is old news now. We have not won anything since we left the MEAC. The closest we have come to winning anything since the move is football (excluding T&F). Martin has moved us towards focusing "more" on our top money generating sport which is football.
