OK Tinkle lovers. Justify his existence please.

I think the rationale many Griz fans is that when you look at the talent, facilities and the fan support... we expect to be higher than fifth out of eight teams, especially when we return the players we do.

Correct me if I am wrong, but weren't you one of the ones pointing out the lack of athleticism in the team? Combine that with no leadership, and I just don't see how this team was going to be successful. Of course, no one anticipated the loss of a couple recruits prior to the season, or the fact no one steped up to lead. Add inthe 8th best FT shooting team, and close games became an L more often than not.

I am glad the season is over and the Griz can address the deficiencies in the off season and prepare for next year. Qvale said it himself Monday that this team needs to get stronger, and tougher.

I like hearing a player admit to any weakness and own up to something. That from a Freshman, that is encouraging. Also GB beat me to mentioning the loss of a few players. We had no true 3 this year. The loss of Watson was huge. This would be similar to any football team losing a starting WR, and Starting RB. I say that because Watson was not the biggest piece to the GRIZ puzzle, but was a key piece. Most anyone would agree QB is the biggest key in FB, I feel the loss of our only 3 was very equal to a FB team losing any 2 other starters offensively other than QB. Defensively it is equal to losing your starting Safety and MLB. We as fans do not realize how important every position is. In Basketball your starting SF is suppose to be a combination of everything skill wise with good height. This team lost that athleticism, height, and versatility when we loss Watson.

I guarantee with the additions of Taylor and McGillis being able to add those key elements to the GRIZ we will see a much improved team and record.

For you baseball fans this very similar to losing your #2 pitcher and your SS at the same time. I think Tinkle saw this too, and in turn chose to develop Staudacher this year at his true 2 position, rather than detering his progress as an overmatched 3. The others that played 3 just were not quick enough or have the skill set to be a 3. Next year when Staudacher is lighting it up, McGillis and Taylor giving us minutes at 3, we will be all thankful for Tinks choosing to develop Stauds this year at his true position, instead of waiting on it. I am confident this team will be very successful next year, and go at least 11-5 in the BSC. To be honest I do not care about OOC record due to the BSC being a 1 bid league. Keep the Faith. :thumb:

I said we needed to address athleticism with the potential losses of graves and rundles. Still needed more but this team was not a 5th place team.

I agree, but this was not a championship caliber team either, too many weaknesses. I think 3rd is about where they should have been, which means they should have made it to Portland at least.

I think if Rundles plays well it changes everything. Even if he's just at freshman form we're a way different team. His ability to shoot but also drive and dish would've been huge and impacted all different parts of the game. Then with improved play people listen to what he says and we have our leader.

 

[mtgrizrule]

Most on here would agree that Rundles had the biggest disappointing season individually. I hope he sticks with the GRIZ, but if they chose to part ways, I understand. As for leadership, the combination of Hasquet, McGillis, and CET will fill that role just fine. For those who have not seen Hasquet and McGillis play together, they have great chemistry. McGillis has an attitude and fiery spirit that will be contagious next year. As for Hasquet, he is capable of leading. I have a feeling he may have felt like he was stranded on an island the last 2 years when there was nobody else to speak up without offending anyone. McGillis will make Hasquet feel more comfortable leading. As for CET, at seasons end this team was responding to him well. They were a much better team with him running PG than anyone else.

Lets hope the addition of Stockton may lead to a few practices being attended by John Stockton. With some luck, maybe he will even say a few words to our PGS and or team. If they could not respond from one of the best PGS ever, then something definitely would be wrong.

 

[Forshizzlegrizzle]

Not sure Stockton would attend practices for his nephew. Unless his son is a two sport athlete and I was not aware of that.

He might drop in while he is watching his son in FB, they do overlap a little.

 

[mtgrizrule]

All I know is, as a coach with possible access to an alltime great, it would not hurt to ask if he would mind dropping in to give them some advice or show them a thing or two. It never hurts to inquire at the very least. :thumb:

 

[PlayerRep]

I think John S. stops by the office from time to time. I think he sometimes plays some ball in the gym (unless I dreamed that).

 

[JahGriz]

Neither Tinks or Huse impressed much this year. I think both are good coaches, with my limited knowledge. Both know more about the game than any one posting on this board, neither are morons. As far as finding a new coach, I don't think it should even be a consideration until we see what happens after next season.

I think Tinks has done a pretty good job recruiting, maybe I'm wrong, but that is a plus. He is coaching in the wake of a very good coach, who had a hard ass style that at times seemed too hard, but it obviously wasn't, because he got results and didn't lose a bunch of players who couldn't take it. Perhaps Tinks needs to harden up, I really haven't a clue.

What I really think is some posters are jackasses and have no respect for their fellow humans, and think they aree so freakin smart and know it all...wake up call, you don't know it all, and couldn't do a better job of coaching than any of the coaches in the BSC. So some fucking respect for a man who works his ass off, loves UM, and even if he isn't the best man for the job, he is giving it his all. If he doesn't get results, he will be moving on one way or another. I hope the best for the Griz and their coaches. Whoever coaches, in the next few years doesn't really matter to me. But I think the coach deserves some respect, and I hope to see the Griz back in the big tourney. Too bad Krysko didn't have enough plusses to keep him here, but he's gone, I really would have liked to have seen how far he could have taken the team, or if they were maxed out because of the conference we are in.

Go Griz. Lets kick some ass next season.

I also wanted to say, both Huse and Tinks deserved a shot at being a head coach. Both learned under one of the best head coaches UM has had. Now if either of both can't cut it as the head man, that doesn't take away from the fact that both are good coaches, otherwise coach K wouldn't have had them on his staff. So like it or not, both are good coaches. Whether or not they are going to be good head coaches has yet to be seen. I hope the best for both, and think they will rise to the occasion, we'll see. Go Griz. And thanks to all the coaches at UM who give it their all.
Peace!

He's 2/3rd of his way through his shot, next years make or break, and without some serious Juco help or a tremendous season by Selivg, I think it's going to be very similar to the past 2 yrs.

So who justifies your existence? Get a life! Sorry that the coach that you can't stand has got standout kids, good students, socially responsible men, and good basketball players to step foot on Dahlberg Arena's floor. Seems to me somebody is doing something right. Apparently your tunnel vision is creating issues for you!
