Shouldn't we be discussing the Firing of Dave Rose?

You really think the reason Jimmer is playing 7 minutes a game is because he hasn't earned it or isn't good enough? Who needs a dose of reality? You really think it's only LDS fans that can see he has the 9th highest points-per-minute in the league? Perhaps he's the subject of trade rumors because Smart is a complete idiot and doesn't even know how to make a rotation, while other teams see value in him.



Forget it. I'm done wasting my time with someone who wouldn't be able to recognize a double-standard if they saw OJ Simpson and George Zimmerman standing side-by-side, can't spell words like lose and fair, and couldn't identify a Tampa 2 or Bear 46 if his life depended on it.

Does he deserve more playing time? Yes. Would he have more playing time if he was the all out talent that you are claiming him to be regardless of the system and coach? Yes! Look, I love Jimmer just as much as everyone else but averaging 10 minutes per game against bench players is hardly worthy of classifying him as being the "9th highest points-per-minute in the league. Although that may be, it's not an accurate reflection of a statistic. Give him 35 minutes a game against starters and I'd concede. That's like claiming Lark has the best pass completion of any BYU QB after only playing one game against NSU. Not that anyone is saying that, but if they did, it wouldn't be a fair comparison. Nice "straw man" argument though.

Yes, please do be done arguing a stupid idea, trying to find faults with a good accomplished coach, and looking for someone to throw you ignorance at hate at.

Boy, it's a good thing that Bronco and Rose don't care about what is said on fan boards, we'd be stuck with Riley Nelson as head football coach and Nick Martineau as basketball coach. :roll:

Smart may be an accomplished coach at other levels but he isn't an accomplished NBA coach.



Jimmer is a ball-dominate, scoring guard. Tyreke Evans is a ball dominate scorer. Thorton is a gunner. The roster needs some changes.

Cougest, I never said in any of my posts here that Dave Rose should be fired, in fact it is exactly the opposite, I think he is a terrific head coach and BYU basketball will be worse when he leaves. I feel the same way about Bronco and think the fan unrest in regards to BM is stupid. BYU had a disapointing year this year but that was mostly a product of scheduling then anything else. You can't play good teams on the road and expect to go undefeated, it just doesn't happen. It is a credit to Bronco that we didn't get slaughtered in a bunch of those road losses.

Really? Bronco gets credit for this season not being worse than it was? I think the whole reason any of us are complaining about Bronco this year is because we believe at least two of our losses (maybe 4 losses) are directly related to poor coaching decisions and/or adjustments (or lack of adjustments). There is no way he gets credit for making this a better season than it could have been.
