Floyd picks up a guard commit: Tim Cameron; Hargrave Military Academy

In the big picture we are spending way too much money on basketball. Hoops is in a one bid league the regular season is irrelevant. If football doesnt improve basketball will continue to fall farther down the conference pecking order. Basketball cant float or improve our conference situation. We are going to have to make big cuts to the basketball program to improve football. It will be painful in the short term buts its the only way to improve the football and basketball situation in the long term.

I never thought of it that way, but you are correct. I think basketball and football needs to be revamped. Bring in an up and coming assistant coach who is hungry for his first head coaching job and see what happens. If he leaves after he has success here, that's better than not having success at all.
 
Probably because you are asking the same questions over and over again. We keep asking you the same questions because you never respond.

Read slowly chi, I asked him that question for the 1st (first, primer vez) time a few days ago. How can you say I asked the same question over and over when it was asked for the first time? (Don't really want to know your answer by the way)

See, I gave you a chance and thought you changed, but of course you haven't. There is no point in responding to you because you clearly don't get it. Epsi answered that question many times before and I reiterated his answers here and then asked you question. You don't have any answers because you know you're wrong. I will not be responding to you anymore because you provide nothing to this board and my time is well spent to people that actually want to have a conversation.
 
You didn't answer my question epsi, why if you have such disdain for Floyd and the basketball program, will not buy season tickets or go to any games this year, as you have already declared, do you even bother to follow any thread having to do with UTEP basketball? Everyone here knows how you feel, you bring nothing new at all everytime you post. One can only surmise you're sole purpose is to troll, so don't be surprised and get all butt hurt at the tag. As you and little chi tell others, don't like our posts? Ignore or don't follow us. Hey, don't like the basketball program and its coach? Ignore and don't follow it, right? Quit dragging every thread down with the same old crap. If you and/or chi really cared about this board and its function, you two would lighten up on the same repetitive negative sh!t. You two drag simple informative threads into your own little side shows time and time again. Cool it already.
I don't answer it because this has nothing to do with UTEP basketball and derails the thread and I have already answered it. First of all your the one getting butt hurt and the last few posts are of you crying why I don't answer your question. I am a UTEP basketball fan and I want UTEP to be a basketball school once again. Thats why I follow basketball threads. This board is to discuss UTEP sports. I don't remember reading when I signed up that I only have to post homer positive thoughts. UTEP basketball sucks right now. Floyd has done jack crap in 5 seasons. I want UTEP basketball to take it up to the next level. Our current coach has been given the most resources in UTEP history for basketball. We have seen zero return on this investment. I was very happy when we hired Floyd. He has had average results. It seems like Floyd is more concerned with landing a bigger job than he is trying to take UTEP to the next level. I have no faith in the guy and I am just expressing it on the UTEP SPORTS MESSAGE BOARD. Then on top of that our AD is a washed up moron who sets no performance standards for out football and basketball programs. All Chi and I do are state the facts. We aren't making anything up. You guys just can't handle the truth.

I wouldn't say "most". If it was "most" I would have very few likes.

Sweetlou posted something that isn't correct and I responded. Why is that a problem? I didn't derail anything.

You are more than welcome to put me on ignore if you don't want to read my posts.
Sorry to burst your bubble but "most" is 99 percent of the ones on this board! Haha!! Before you come back with another ignorant comment, I will put you on ignore. You must be after some type of record wanting the most "ignores".
 
BG, Doc, Barbee...All three were assistants before getting the head coaching job here at UTEP. All 3 had to deal with tougher league competition. All 3 had us in the NCAA Tourney with in 4 years. Floyd is a seasoned coach , plays in a much weaker conference than the 3 mentioned above, hasn't even come close to taking UTEP to the NCAA Tourney. What does the UTEP vs. USC recruit excuse have to do with anything?????? His coaching experience alone should get us to at least the CUSA Championship game every year, but he continuously gets out coached in every big game.
Yes but they were here for one reason only! to move on to a bigger school! they did it at the expense of the Miner program, quick fixes , no long term commitment! Floyd had to deal with this, win games and recruit to build the program! what part of "build the program" do people not understand! Haskins asked Floyd to come back and REBUILD the Program! :eek: Hmmmmmm, why in the world would he ask him to do that?:confused: (all characters are ficticious! any similarity to knowledgeable UTEP fans is merely a figment of their imaginations)

So you would rather have Floyd than those other three coaches?

This is Floyd's sixth year. How long does it take to rebuild a program?

Floyd took over a NCAA Tournament team. He didn't have to rebuild a mess like BG had to do. Everyone keeps saying BG, DOC, Barbee were only here to move on. So can anyone answer the question of why Floyd keeps interviewing for other jobs every season? ?? Everyone keeps saying Floyd is here to stay and build but keeps interviewing??? Can anyone comment for once on this?????

What truth, the one you can't comprehend.
Let me help you a little if possible.
Now a days college sports are a big business and the big schools are taking the best recruits
available. Don't even start with Gonzaga and Richmond because they have done squat in the
last couple of years. In the past 10 years you might get a Cinderella team but that is all, it is a
Cinderella team who will make some noise and at the end of the day they go home back empty
.
Some of those Cinderella teams might make some noise while they keep the nucleus of the team
intact. So think about it for a second Mr. Chihuas.
Go Miners...

Wichita State? Butler? VCU? Creighton? There are more but need I go on?

Those are some quality programs whose recent success I can only envy and heights I wish UTEP would ascend to.

What was the question again?

I say Barbee. He is an assistant at Kentucky. He is just strengthening his already strong recruiting connections. Someone will give him another shot and he will have them in the Tourney before Floyd has us playing in the tourney. He will be a steal for who ever hires him.
If BG wasn't addicted to alcohol, he would have had a much better coaching career than he has had. He would have been a top 10 coach. Its a shame about the alcohol.
DOC was average but he is 1-1 against us since coaching at USM, and they are one of the worst programs in the country.


Dude Barbee didn't want to be at UTEP. Can you dig it.

GO Miners...

How can you prove your aguments.
It's all speculation...

Google Tim Floyd interviews for Missouri job usc and Seton hall or De Paul. I forgot which one from the two. Plus after that scuffle with Enfield , Enfield stated Floyd was mad cause he didn't get the USC job and Enfield got it. Don't you think it was a strange coincidence Floyd was meeting with the USC AD when their basketball job was open to discuss what happened "when Floyd was there the first time".
