Valid opinions across the board, but it's fairly simple when you think about it...
Mid-major players + Mid-major coach = This
We simply don’t have a roster that could ever compete in the top half of the conference. We’re so modest talent-wise that I’m not sure you can even judge DD’s in game coaching at this point. We’ll need another massive re-build to fix it for next season, and we’ve basically admitted we have to approach that endeavor much differently next season if we hope to achieve a better result.
Would love to know what DeVries believed could happen this year when he assembled this team, but we’ve seen what did happen, and it’s obviously not good enough. Worse, we could see what was coming a few months ago and had to just sit and watch it happen. Very difficult to be confident about the future with this guy at the wheel. Just hope the help he’s bringing in will result in a reset.

no confidence here... doesn't take 3 years to see it. It's clearly posterity at this point
We don't have the roster because he put together a team that lacks the talent to compete. I've said this before.. blow your wad in 4-5 world beaters. You had the 3 freshman , make your son take a discount or pay him yourself .. hell DD got a raise he can afford to pay him , and scrounge up 2-3 others on Pennies. We haven't had more than 10 on the bench all year anyway. He chose this roster. Why is the question...

You could see a few months ago that we’d be fortunate to get to the middle, at best. DeVries isn’t going anywhere for another couple of years, so talk of him getting the boot is wasted. Leadership is the foundation of winning. We don’t have it.
Watched game and multiple players had wide open shots and missed……Tucker, Lamar and Dorn. Could have gotten bailed out and went to OT possibly when Tucker had arm slapped when taking late 3 that wasn’t called….don’t understand why coach doesn’t get a T to try and fire team up, tried everything else
@hoosiers94 Really? There are things to harp on, but Lamar was 0-9 in the second half! He couldn't get to the basket, couldn't make a shot! Lamar had plenty of shots - 18 i think -
Silly! If the loss at Minnesota and NW last night were W's this thread would have 2 posts. From the usual suspects. All in for year 2.
@gthomas….I say cut bait and hire Josh Shertz….guy wins a lot!

there was a long stretch where he didn't take a shot, or very few. About half way tough the first half into the middle of the second ...

but they weren't. And yet here you are

we don't have it you're right. But sitting silent isn't an answer to me .. they likely won't fire him but they aren't blind either .. when they see empty seats, read articles of apathy and simply just watch the games they see it. So to have more fan noise endorse it perhaps it helps them move faster this time ...

The silliness is discussing “if”. Those things did happen, but it’s obviously more than just those two games. Anybody watching for the last few months isn’t surprised this morning. Not the end of the world and DeVries isn’t going anywhere, but we’re exceedingly average. Again.
Such silly nuance.

He’ll get a minimum of three years, even if we’re no better next season. Empty seats have been a thing for over a decade as the wait list for tickets has evaporated. What used to be a tough ticket is anything but now, but that revenue isn’t so vital that we’ll move on a first (or second) year coach.
