Grading the 2022-23 Griz Athletic season

I find it hilarious that people try to convince OTHER people that THEIR “grade” is wrong, somehow. How YOU grade the various Griz athletic performances last year is irrelevant to how someone ELSE grades them…we’re each entitled to our own “grade”…

True. And you're each entitled to be told you are wrong. And many people are wrong.

At your company, does everyone get to grade their own work/evaluation?

And you’re entitled to be told you’re wrong. You just never believe it and INSIST (even in the face of insurmountable evidence to the contrary) that you are correct EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
 
TD's teams finished 3rd, 6th, 5th, 4th in the BSC over the past 4 seasons...

Hard to argue his Seat is not 🔥

Conf rank improved each of last 3 years. Positive trend. Also, his team won the conference the 2 prior years.

His contract was extended during the prior season (2022). "DeCuire's new extension ... runs through June 30, 2025."

Doesn't look like a hot seat to me.

From his bio last season:

"Now entering his ninth season as head coach of the Montana men’s basketball program, Travis DeCuire continues to etch his name into the Grizzlies’ record book. DeCuire has led Montana to three Big Sky Conference regular-season championships (2015, 2018, 2019), two Big Sky tournament titles (2018, 2019) and two NCAA tournament berths (2018, 2019).

[He] is the only one to lead Montana to three Big Sky regular-season titles, winning in 2015 – his first season – despite Montana being picked eighth in the preseason poll, and going back-to-back in 2018 and 2019. That dominant two-year stretch saw the Grizzlies win regular-season and tournament titles both years, winning a school-record 52 games over the two seasons. He was named coach of the year by the Big Sky and NABC District 6 in 2018.

DeCuire’s 160-98 record (.620 winning percentage) entering the 2022-23 season is historic on many levels. In January 2022, DeCuire passed College Basketball Hall of Famer Mike Montgomery and his predecessor, Wayne Tinkle, on the school’s all-time wins lists.

On a conference level, DeCuire is the Big Sky’s active leader for wins, owning a 103-45 league mark (.696 winning percentage), including a winning record over every Big Sky opponent. His 160 overall wins rank fifth in Big Sky history. His 103 Big Sky wins rank third all-time. DeCuire was the fastest coach in league history to win 50 Big Sky games, needing just 65 games to do so, and the second-fastest to 100 wins.

Montana has had a winning record each season under DeCuire, including four 20-win seasons and four postseason berths (2018 NCAA, 2019 NCAA, 2015 NIT, 2016 CBI). At the Big Sky tournament, DeCuire has produced an impressive 12-5 record, including four appearances in the title game and a league-record eight straight wins from 2018 through 2021.

DeCuire has coached seven first-team All-Big Sky selections, in addition to four second-team honorees, plus the Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year, Freshman of the Year, Newcomer of the Year (twice), Top Reserve (twice) and tournament MVP (twice). He has developed three of the top-eight scorers in school history in Sayeed Pridgett, Ahmaad Rorie and Michael Oguine.

Off the court, DeCuire proudly boasts a 100-percent graduation rate,
in addition to earning the NABC Team Academic Award five times (2016, 2017, 2020, 2021 and 2022). Montana has obtained a 3.0 cumulative grade-point average for six consecutive semesters, and in 2020-21, Montana earned a 3.30 team grade-point average, with 10 student-athletes earning Academic All-Big Sky recognition and zero falling below a 2.0 GPA. DeCuire has mentored two of Montana’s eight Academic All-Americans in Gregory (2015) and Josh Bannan (2022).

Also off the court, multiple team conversations about social and racial injustices led to action in 2020, including 100-percent voter registration, a solidarity message on the backs of each jersey and the launch of a Free Little Library on campus. The library, which was funded and established by the men’s basketball program, features minority-themed literature that the community can freely take from or add to."

I also have a bio. It's also long and filled with sunshine and rainbows.

Last 4 seasons were bad. It's not a secret to those paying attention. He will not overcome a fifth. Please pay beyter attention in the future, so your posts will be more informed.

Last 4 seasons were not bad. 4 seasons ago, covid stopped, UM was 3d in the conference at 14-6.

DeCuire is fine.

You seem to have nothing on your bio, and nothing for brains.

The question isn’t IS his seat hot, it’s SHOULD his seat be hot?

The answer to both is yes - despite what ole man Playa writes.

3rd - 6th - 5th - 4th in conference over last 4 years. Results alone makes his seat simmer - as it should.
 
50-41, 28-25 (conf) in the last 3 years. Not what we're used to. We get beat by the wide bodies underneath, because we have none. TD likes a lot of guards.

Yes he does. We’d KILL it in a 6’0” and under league… :lol:

He has was given a long-term contract after finishing 6th the prior year.
Crazy that you’ll defend Bobby and Decuire to the ends of the earth, but you literally will not give Holsinger any kind of a pass after year 2 of a re-build. You need to come down to reality dude

He is in his own reality. Sad, despite so many in Griz Nation working tirelessly to help him.

I don't say much about Holsinger. I don't like what he did when he came, and still don't. His first year recruiting, after cutting 6 schollie players, got little in return, other than bringing back Fatkin. His results so far are not very good and no better than SS's last year. If you think achieving the same conference record as SS's last season, and not winning any conference tourney games, in H's year 2 is great success, go for it. Your problem is that you can't be objective, or don't know what objectivity is. I'm not the only poster pointing out H's mediocre results so far.

Hauck and DeCuire have long and good track records. They should not be judged just on short term results, and Hauck has actually done quite well (just a disappointing season last fall, largely due to Johnson's health).

You are an idiot. Can't back up hardly anything you say. Don't understand the game. Don't know anything about Griz sports. You do know how to say a lot of stupid things, tho. You are becoming the no. 3 joke on egriz, behind Growler and Uptop.

Gee, yet another idiot on egriz. Haven't you gone through about 30-40 of the posters by now, all idiots according to you? You are the joke of this site, and you are such a narcissist that you don't even realize it.

DM me. We are going to need to transition to Phase 2 of mentoring. I have a plan - don't worry. I will help you de-fog your mind so you can post more coherently and with less blind, ignorant allegiance to coaches falling well short of the Griz standard. Right now you are on an island all by yourself...living your own reality.
