Next Year

This is not trolling, this is not just reactionary-posting saying "Fire him" like guys do on the football board after we lose a recruit or a game.

If Kevin Stallings is the Pitt head basketball coach next year, I'm out.

I used to get so excited to watch every game whether it was St Francis or Duke. Even watched all the CBI games and went to a few.

I can't do this anymore. It's beyond embarassing and there's just no defending it.

Kevin Stallings WAS a decent coach, but he has never been that here and this year he's been worse. I realize how untalented we are (his fault), but even so to just lose games so routinely by 30-40 points is just unacceptable at this level. And the talent is only getting marginally better with Luther (solid role player) and Ellison who might be good but is probably not the ACC Star level player you need.

Today really was the breaking point. I mean I felt this way for the past month or so, but then I woke up today and thought this was gonna be the game Pitt steals that might (hoped not) steal Kevin another year. Home game, so-so team without their best player. And we lose by 40!!!!

It's an absolute disgrace and the fact it's gotten this bad is all on the coaching staff.

The Pitt fanbase has a lot of issues, but I have no problem with anyone who quits supporting this program next year if Stallings is here. Because if he is, it means the athletic dept quit too.

Stallings provides no hope. Not even a tiny ounce. 11 recruits and not one of them ranked in the Top 100.

I wrote a long letter to Barnes for many reasons why Stallings can't be hired here. Of course he left. 9,000 plus season ticket holders, which at least a 1/3 we're real donors are gone. I sat today in a tomb watching a bad team named Louisville destroy a Pitt , bombs away group of kids who dont know what Pitt basketball is. I know Stallings is gone soon and he knows it. Our new coach has 4 kids to work with, plus Ryan. Heather knows the fans, donors, and excitement will be back by giving us a fresh start. More than anything Pitt Basketball and the Pete is the center of Campus life. The Oakland Zoo was a huge part of the buzz on campus.
