Birdie says likely is 1st choice, not Parham..

In what conference do you compete for a championship with 6-8 center and 6-5 pwr frwrd?  Leave the touchy-feely behind, coach.

Terrific!

Thanks.

A great time in front of great fan base of near 10,000. and on the road while Oscar and Co. had their way all night long. Wonderful experience out of the chute for DU and coaches.  Do ya think KD now has their attention?  Build on this for 2019/20 though obvious KD's continued over-recruiting must bring in better players.  Pretty evident none of the DU starting 5 on level class with Mounties in that environment.

“Everyone’s going to talk regardless,” sophomore center Mike Hughes (12.3 points per game and 14 blocks in the past three games) said of energy surrounding the program. “Everyone talked bad about us a couple months ago when we lost to the people across the street (actually, I think it was one person). So there’s no need to feed into the energy that’s on the outside."

Seems to be a rather cheap shot of a board contributor.  Please delete.

And, I second the emotion!!!

As I was watching live with my 11 year old daughter I said, just before it was called, that he was going to get "teed-up". (she asked what that meant) Just to make sure, I went back to confirm my earlier observation. After re-watching the last minute or so of the game, Dambrot totally deserved the first T. He was cussing, ranting, jumping a bit, & clearly out of the box. 

Earning the second T, his needing to be physically restrained by both coaches & players, & failure to leave the floor like a gentleman were, in my opinion, a horrible example for his team & an embarrassment to the program. His unacceptable behaviour was exacerbated by his lack of humility & accountabilty in his post-game comments. He did not ACT like a champion. It is one of the few times I can recall a basketball coach taking definitive, specific action that resulted in a team losing its opportunity to compete for victory.

I have lost count of the friends & haters that have contacted me today to ask WTF. There has been plenty of press to make KD out to be a raving lunatic. Even Deadspin picked it up.)

Before last night I suspected  the coincidental conclusion of EW's lesson learning before the most winnable of meaningful games was more about winning than teaching. I now know KD is way more interested in winning than developing. Put that together with his poor judgement at Central Michigan, on-air bullying of Ray, & last night's unfortunate events & you have a guy I probably don't like.

Having written that, I really don't care if he is likeable or not. He is a very good coach & this program is lucky to have him. Provided he doesn't break any laws or get in trouble with the NCAA, I am super-high on Coach Dambrot. I just expect more from a guy that is 60 & is being paid 7 figures to be the face of the program.

 

You hate him then, oh wait, you love him -- no cajones?

You got me. I am, sadly, sometimes without testicles. Your siste
