Men's BB is on a DII level right now. These players haven't gotten better during the season, they have just gotten worn out. The excuses for men's BB will just continue if Edwards is the coach next year....I argue that the only way that he won as many games as he did in the previous 2 years was because they were Coach Shyatt's recruits, period!
The bold part I completely agree with. Edwards is a horrible coach. He did a terrible job with Shyatt's left over recruits and if Shyatt was the coach they would have had a lot better record than what Edwards got with them. Unlike Edwards, Shyatt is an extremely good x&o's coach and can get a team ready to play and at least has some sort of game plan to be executed.
Edwards on the other hand has no business ever being a head coach at the D1 level for a long time. He belongs being an assistant.
The fact that there are stories of Edwards trying to argue with Shyatt on how to do things when Shyatt was a head coach makes me question whether or not Edwards should even be an assistant anywhere.
He needs to be gone. No one is going to give a crap about the basketball program until he is gone, so no reason to prolong it after the end of this season. Just end it already. If Burman is stupid enough to give him another year then he should be fired also. That will never happen of course. Just hope Burman has some sense of IQ left in him and will do what needs to be done.
Edwards may be a nice guy but sometimes even if things don't go your way and you could use the excuse of injuries or what not, there just needs to be a change for a fresh start. I think this is one of those times.
