This thread hurts my brain. Hasn't this thread been running since Coach got here like 17 years ago? Maybe it is just new threads every year about how COACH can't COACH anymore?

An appearance in the Final Four would the dream come true. Winning a National Championship is exceedingly difficult, but making the FF is a realistic goal for this program. The Kawhi/DJ Gay team had a real shot at that. For some reason, I have the feeling next year's team is going to be really good. Better than this year's crew. Be happy and content with what we have achieved this far. None of that "FF" talk around here, please. Side note: that Kawhi/Billy/Malcolm/DJ/Carlwell/Rahon team did have a real shot at it. If not for a couple of technicals (Kawhi early on and Jamaal's "bump"), anyway. Might be a few years before we see a team come together the way that one did.

Coach Fisher to me has Kobe status. He has earned the right to do whatever the f x x x he wants to do. Like it or not. We won't even be debating about the team or give a $#!+ about the team if not for coach bringing it back to life. I hope we give coach Fisher the best that we can as a fan during these final years of his career. Yea, this includes showing up for games.

Really? Here is the relevant dictionary definition of fair weather: loyal or helpful only during times of success and happinessNo one besides yourself has EVER used that adjective the way you are using it, so congratulations on making up your own, not-so-common sense definition. So, yes, by any objective standard, you are dead WRONG as to the term "fair weather". Alright, thanks for a definition. Again, I've been a SD sports fan my entire life, have bought season tickets for multiple teams, and continue to watch my teams. Have the Aztecs, Padres, or Chargers always been good every year for the last 35 years? Because that's how long I've been a fan. How many championships have "we" won? But hey, if you want to say that I'm not a fan simply because I suggest that we're good enough to win more, go ahead. I'm not going to stop supporting my team or being a fan but as long as I am a fan, I'll have my criticisms, and that doesn't make me any less of a fan. I think it makes me a passionate one. Anything on the contrary and you're just blindly following your team and accepting that the best is behind them. Don't worry NCmike...sdcoug and legkick had issues with Statler and Waldorf and felt they "weren't true Muppets."

Another great coaching performance tonight against The powerhouse Grand Canyon! Embarrassing that we scored 45 points at home! Fisher, when are you ever going to bring in somebody to help out the offense? Once agin Pope got only 3 shots....that is just so on excusable! If that's not on the coaching staff, then what the heck is?

Ctap should be Crap...
Who the hell cares that Pope got only 3 shots..that's all he deserves..the guy doesn't hustle while on the floor..to earn shots, you have to work hard while you are out on the floor..Pope needs to ride the pine even longer

This is great for our defense but terrible for a shooter's confidence. I believe coach Fisher thinks this works and defensively it has, but I am not a believer in how the staff doesn't coach offensive ball flow when they build players back up. Shep went through this as a freshman and I remember the exact moment this happened a few games in. Same thing with Kell last year. I assume Pope is getting the same treatment.

Understood, but we need points in a major way. I would never want to come play at San Diego State if I'm in offensive player it's an absolute joke. Cannot believe the coach to get him three shots a game.

Keep blaming the players as we score 40 points a game! Lol it's all coaching! I wouldn't want to play if I was Pope either, as no attempt has been made to get him involved in the offense! It's a joke how he's being treated! Fisher is a joke on the offensive side of the ball!!!!

Ctap...that's ridiculous..
To get shots, you have to earn them..if you are playing hard and doing the small things like hustle, sealing the defender, working hard for low post position...getting rebounds and working hard to get open...then your teammates will find u
But when you play like you just lit up a j@int, then you deserve to ride the pine and ur teammates won't find u..you have to earn the respect of your teammates and it's obvious that popes teammates don't respect his lack of hustle and toughness
He's got no swagger on the floor and plays with absolutely no passion..I am shocked he's still making grades the way he's playing..he has definitely not been worth the value of the scholarship he was given..

Ironic. It just occurred that I wouldn't be surprised if Sauce (a moniker for himself, not mine) doesn't make grades. But, hey, he's having one helluva good time in college.

last few minutes , was surprised we did not have Perez in there for threes (Allen seemed afraid to shoot the three), Allen come in last half minute . Also front line should have been Shepard , Pope , Zylan for offense then switch to Spencer for D . Also maybe foul a lot earlier and who to foul on their team .

I wouldn't have any swagger either if I was getting three shots a game and I am a stud who can be a big scorer in the league. You guys need to stop blaming the players all the time it's the coaching's responsibility to get the guy the ball into get him some shots. The offense of designs are horrible. How is he supposed to fight for the ball when he stands out there on the perimeter? That's Coach Fisher's fault! The guy runs the same offense every single year and our offense sucks every single year. I love how you guys constantly defend Coach Fisher. Yes he's been great for San Diego and for school, but enough is enough on the offensive side of the ball. If he does not want pope then give him to somebody else who knows how to run a high school offense and they will turn Him into a star! They should play him like Kevin Durant. Durant gets plenty of plays designed for him he is always moving to the hoop in his offense, none of that happens with Pope. Hes expected to either shoot a three pointer and if he misses one people say he's taking bad shots. It's an absolute joke how he's getting underutilized and you guys keep defending Coach Fisher.

I keep hearing up about how good Little Rock is LOL. Really? Lol they are horrible and we should've never lost any of those three games against these crappy teams. Obviously Coach Fisher took the summer off on the offensive side of the ball like he does every summer it appears. Lol

Lol they are horrible and we should've never lost any of those three games against these crappy teams. Obviously Coach Fisher took the summer off on the offensive side of the ball like he does every summer it appears. Lol He has the third most shots on the team and is shooting .291 (only person worse is 0-3 Frederico). He has taken the third most threes and is shooting .216 (worst on the team of a bunch of poor 3-point shooters) He has taken only 15 free throws. The only Aztecs with less are D'Erryl by one (on 1/5 of the shots), Perez, and the other walk-ons. He doesn't move on offense. He missed a number of defensive rebounds yesterday because his hands weren't up, and they went over his head. He's 6'10," rebounds shouldn't go over him. The last time he got pulled from the game yesterday, he sulked to the bench, walking slowly, in front of the coaches as play was resumed. Fisher reached out and pushed him out of the way. He is frustrated, and it's effecting his attitude. Problem is, this will only continue to effect his performance in a negative way, which will cause him to lose more minutes, which will get him more frustrated. If he wants more shots, he needs to have more energy, move more, and maybe become the one guy that actually listens and learns whatever offense the coaches are teaching, because more often than not, the coaches are angry with frustration after yet another confusing and lackadaisical offensive set by the whole team. That being said, unless he changes something about himself, no, he does not need to be taking more shots.
