I acknowledge that he's a sophomore. But the numbers don't lie.
Last 7 games CU is 2-5. Here are KJ's numbers.
11.3/3.9/3.4
34/15/82
3.1 TO Per game
I am getting nervous about losing TDS and KJ at this point
KJ could go and star at another top program and get some decent NIL
TDS is playing unbelievable basketball right now, and could do the same
Tad has mismanaged the roster and the way this team plays this year and I did not see it coming.
Can't Smith play up to 4 games without burning his Redshirt?
Same thing with Allen?
Both should at least play the last 3 games of the regular season, which are all at home
Honestly, Tristan should have just taken every single shot in this game. The offense should be built for him to come screaming off screens and just score 40+ points.
LOB looked injured to me, had a calf issue, and was not feeling good or confident
Nique almost came out of his slump and was thinking he was a big shot and bricked a ton of shots
Hadley is far better than he even thinks he is and should take more shots.
I am going to reiterate my take that LL is not a premier starting Center in the PAC, period. He is a good kid, with some good disruptive defensive skills, but he has no offensive game at all. No post moves, not even a mid-range jumper, and cannot shoot free throws a lick. He is an ideal 2nd team sub that gets 10-14 min a game max resting a more talented starter
What a terrible day of basketball for the State of Colorado

Agree on Hadley. I've harped on it before, but the kid shot 35% from 3 at JUCO. He needs to be taking his open looks from 3.

Sports aren't exact science, and sometimes you get poor performances from people. That isn't always the coach.
Is it Tad who's causing TdS to avg 19 at home and 9 on the road? Is it Tad who tells KJ make 3 unforced TOs in a game? **** happens and the POS Buff fans calling to get rid of Tad are self-absorbed losers

Whelp we've entered a doom spiral. Tads got to own it and fix it.

This season has been extremely disappointing, and Tad deserves a lot of the blame IMO. But he gets a pass from me for one bad year. His overall body of work speaks for itself IMO. This year's performance is an outlier when you look at his full tenure.
Now if we don't see significant improvement next year with Cody Williams on the roster, then I think it's fair to say his seat is getting warm.

Agreed. This roster needs to flipped. Fresh blood is needed. Nique, Hammond, Allen should all move on. Bring on a transfer PG, PF, and established wing shooter.
Calling Tad's recruiting lazy - when he has 2 top 25 classes in the last 3 years.
Calling for the termination of the best coach we've had in 50 years because of one (albeit God awful) season.

This is all exactly like Kin’s sophmore season. We hit a low point at end of January and it was very frustrating. The only time in Tad’s career where I thought about life after Tad, but that was going to be only after giving him the opportunity to swing it around the next yesr when the Kin/Bey class were Juniors.
We then proceeded to win like our last 7 confernece games or something that year, and it ushered the best 2 year bball stretch in modern CU history.
No one should expect that this year, but also no one in their right mind should even consider firing Tad, despite this being an abysmal season.
People calling for a complete roster overhaul are also needing to rebase expectations. Both Ivy leagues are gone, allen’s mostl likely gone, so there are your 3 frosh scholarships.
Tad’s not gunna force out of bunch of other guys magically to take on transfers, that’s not him. And look at how well we did with our Ivy grad transfers. Would of course love for Nique to move and open one spot at least.

Nah man. It's falling apart. I'm going on Thursday and I expect to see an implosion
Not saying this season is salvageable by any means (outside of miraculous run in Vegas). You can stick a fork in this season, its done. Just hoping to finish .500 now.
I would also say it's not Tad's worst season ever (I still rank that 14'-15' season with the disastrous CBI run as the worst ever).
But LOL for people to think that Tad's lost it, just stop. Take for instance Leonard Hamilton, over 500 career wins, been at FSU 20 years, good seasons ebb and flow.
I'll take Tad over a Patton or Bzdelik every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Yikes. Here come the promos. AD must be projecting some low attendance down the stretch given recent performance.
Yep. CBB arenas become ghost towns at the end of poor seasons. I'm glad that they're trying to do something. And since Plati's not driving things these days, I'm not as concerned that this is mostly an attempt to dox people.

Mhmm, mhmm... Thank god there's more than three coaches out there. There's a camp that's happy being a mid tier tournament team and never reaching beyond that, and there's a camp that wants more. I'm in the camp that wants more.
An AD that wants more would have Tad on the hot seat next year
