He did answer them! lolol he has yet to state his qualifications, sir. i'd suggest to you that they probably aren't even "remotely" close to that of one mr. jerry eaves. yet he implies to know more about basketball than eaves. so don't just say you can answer yes to one or more questions. that's classic dodging of the question. tell us exactly which one's you can answer yes to... I broke down your post a section at a time and quite frankly, slayed it. As for qualifications, I've got one question.......why? This is an opinionated message board. Since when did you have to be qualified to be a D-1 coach in order to criticize one? Heck no, I don't have the qualifications of Eaves and I've never implied that I did. Does anyone on the football board or anyone who posts in the firing squad have the qualifications to be head coaches? Exactly, so you have to ask, why are you trying to vet me? You know why............because I support my criticisms by numbers and basic knowledge and deep down you know them to be true. lol Most of you just hate that I'm the only one that "seems" to not bleed the aggie blue that you do. I just have very strong opinions and the numbers (38% in-conference win pct, lol) happen to back me up. For the record, I'll pay Rock to have a FREE BlueDeathValley.com party at the empire room if any of you can find a thread in "The Firing Squad" asking for Eaves' job. I'm not doing that. I'm asking for excellence at A&T, and if it weren't for Bibbs and her staff, we wouldn't be getting it. Stop getting mad because you hear a difference in opinion. Heck, if McCain knew you could vet like that, we may have never heard of Sarah Palin. You got a future in something oldeschool. lol

Now we need certified coaching certificates to post???
I disagree with aahhbigboy on some of rhetoric he uses and he may be 24-7 anti-Eaves, but nobody can argue if he's pro A&T. The bottomline in measuring who can coach, is who has the "W" when buzzer goes off. Not a hot hand on a fall night in Chicago, or a night when the coach flips out in the waning seconds at the Burr, gets tossed (double tech) with his team down three with ball. In my mind, because of the results of last year's 7 senior fiasco, this is a show me year. I'm pro Eaves, but to me in the MEAC the measurement is CHAMPIONSHIP. aahhbigboy is right, sixth years is enough to at least be a contender. Never, never, never forget this is not about Coach Eaves, me, aahhbigboy, or you, this is about NC A&T SU.

The bottomline in measuring who can coach, is who has the "W" when buzzer goes off. that statement is exactly what i mean, especially at the college level. good thing you're not our ad. the playing field and court in college athletics is not and never will be level. there are numerous coaches who lose games to inferior coaches because the playing field and court in college athletics is not level. your statement is completely false...

Chris Berman never coached or played, is he ignorant when he criticizes on Sunday? Most athletic directors haven't coached 99% of the sports they oversee. Do they have amatuer knowledge? I can't be president but I can tell you that Bush can't lead. Am I ignorant? Exactly.

Why is it some coaches are on the "W" side of the box score consistently, game in and game out, year in and year out and some coaches are on the "L" side? What happens to the coaches that are consistently on the on "L" side when the buzzer goes off, that's all I'm saying. You either get the job done or get to packing, that's not my rule it’s the nature of the business. So, I ask you, how long is long enough?

Few beleived that Obama could contend for the Presdency early.. and so I'm saying early in the season that the team will contend for a championship. But President-Elect Obama proved it day in and day out through hard work and a convincing message along the way, and not to take anything from Mr. Obama, but he benefited greatly from the worst economy in 80 years, the worst sitting president ever, and an opposing party with worst approval rating ever during a presidential election and an opposing candidate that was old as h-e-l-l and probably ran the worst campaign ever. What in the three games or about this team makes you believe this team will contend? I would love to see this team contend, but I haven’t seen them play yet. So, please elaborate.

I never said any of these coaches can coach rings around anyone. You're giving me too much credit. Please show me where I said that. I haven't seen High Point play in years, literally.
Also, I've only talked to Eaves about 10 times. I don't know him so I can't hate him. However, I do detest his coaching and it has not proven to be beneficial to the university.
And it is blasphemy to mention Eaves and Corbett in the same sentence. lol

Don't get me wrong, I'm pro Coach Eaves, but six years is long enough to be a contender and stop being a pretender. In my book we are pretending. "this is a&t... & like most hbcus (administration -- added for clarity) who never give their coaches a level playing field to work with... but will fire them in a new york minute..."That statement implies that HBCUs are on the same playing field, so shouldn't all HBCU's have a 38% in conference win ratio? And is six years really a New York minute? I’ll ask again how long is long enough? The thing that I singularly and wholeheartedly agree with aahhbigboy about is Aggie mediocrity! We need to stop accepting sub-par performance at our Alma Mater. Change will not happen from the top down until we reach critical mass at the bottom. The sooner the rest of you get on board the sooner change will happen.
