As for folks disliking an open criticism of a player, I think it's more than a little hypocritical to frown upon this and not on the many threads I have seen since the start of the season with open criticism of Coach Christian. Complaining about his demeanor, his rotations, and lately questioning his practice teachings with regards to rebounding. All this for a coach who has his team 18-6 and with the best conference record OU has had at this point in the season in a long, long time.
I dunno about the criticism of the player vs a coach holds much water in the arena of hypocrisy but I do think it is what most astute or rabid fanbases do....
Every legit basketball power with a fanbase holds players and coaches responsible. That is how you know the players from the posers in the big picture of successful programs. . I just take it as a sign that this program is becoming a force in college hoops. Higher expectations of the individuals. Bang for the buck.
I wll continue to say it. We should dominate the MAC every year, We should swing for the fences with recruits, We should never be even close to another conference peer in attendance. The fanbase should continue to grow both in size and BBIQ. We should not ever put ourselves in a place to regress.
Criticism just shows that folks are caring about the program and becoming passionate. Game is to avoid becoming idiots with continued success as many who have gone before us have done.
