Levesque is a RS Soph, so he has 2 more years, so that's the debt somehow Golding owes to the Athletics Dept. Someone has pictures of Golding, because there is no logical, basketball explanation for why Levesque plays instead of Jones. Its no longer basketball, its personal, either Jones intends on portaling so Golding is not playing him or he mouthed off, so in that case let him wear street clothes, but to keep a 6-8 guy who plays with energy, and yes makes mistakes (Which Golding has mentioned), out in favor of a walk-on makes no sense. Imagine a 6-0 185 pound, QB from Canutillo named "Jonas Senter" or "Andrew Teicher" playing QB against Liberty with the team down 13, yet Shay Smith or Pickles doesn't play (assuming they didn't redshirt). We would wonder what the hell is happening.
Did we need Levesque getting 4 min of experience to prep for next year instead of Jones, did he give us a better chance to win? Does he match up better, is he a better shooter, does he get less nervous?
A few points (not saying anything others havent said on here before but just venting)
1) What a contrast between Walden and Golding. Walden is all over X, hyping up his program, hyping up other teams, getting rowdy at a game, and generally generating excitement for his program. Golding is radio silent on social media (As are his assistants), gets into verbal shouting with fans, and his team has checked out.
2) Why does Golding insist on his team race to the sideline at time-outs, they never do, they alsways walk over. Maybe his first year, you would see that but not anymore. Yet he yells at them to run, but really only Terrell and Horton do it. Is it no leadership or upper-classmen are tired of his antics (a la Wolfram and Rabedeaux)
3) "Not a championship team" - on a radio interview his 1st year, Teicher asked him about recruiting and he said ssomething like "its frustrating that with our history, the feeeling is this is not a championship level team" - so kinda blaming Terry. Yet, Year 3 we are in last place in the 12th best conference, and our Net Ranking is 225. Enough said.
4) A mark of a good coach is a) Does the team get better in Feb and March? b) Does a coach make good halftime adjustments. Answers are easy, how many games are we down 4 at half, yet opponents come out on a 8-0 run? How many games have we lost in the last 4 minutes? How many consecutive games have we lost in Feb?
5) Substitutions/Minutes - That one boggles me. How Hamilton wont play 5-6 games, then gets you 14. How Jones shows flashes, yet sits on the bench in favor of a walk-on.
6) Recruiting
If this same coaching staff returns (We know Golding will); I'm out for 2024-25. BTW, I'm in for Football. Call me bandwagon, but I'm tired of Golding. Just tired of it, why waste my energy. I'm done for this year and we'll see what happens in the off-season.
