All I want to implore, is that we do not digress into Bucknuts or Rivals or some shit because the man deserves better than that and so are we. He might not be the guy we need to lead us to a Championship but he, nor his players, have acted in any such manner as to besmirch the institution that is, The Ohio State University.

We can definitely all agree that there needs to be a change but let's not allow any kind of ridiculous bashing to occur because even when we are pissed, we are still better than that kind of shit.

Regardless it's time for new basketball leadership.

I'm disappointed Holtmann isn't working. He seems like a good guy and has gone out of his way to endear himself to OSU students.

But the on-court results are not acceptable. Barring a dramatic turn around this season OSU has to explore all options.

This is going to be fucking weird. The Earl Bruce of basketball situation. It's easier when stupid shit is happening outside of just losing.

I feel you. But just losing like this is enough. He's been given endless opportunities to right the ship, and it's not happening.

Great guy, but so is my dad and he shouldn't be our basketball coach. So an adieu I bid you farewell handshake, a thank you for his efforts, and look at replacement options needs to happen. Stat.

Agreed. Stopped watching this team because they are too frustrating to watch. More than enough talent but severe coaching deficit. Most folks I talk to have completely tuned out on this squad. It’s past time to exit Holtman and see if we find a spark. Start searching for the next guy and lock up after NCAA tournament.

I read through the 'Replacements for Holtmann' thread on 11W and have come to the conclusion that Ohio State is truly not a "basketball school". Some of the names being thrown out there...oh my :confused: There are a couple of reasonable posters, but the rest need to stick to football or not posting at all.

scUM game was the last game I tuned in for and it's my last until there's a change. I don't need to spend 2.5 hours watching a game that's just going to frustrate/anger me.

I am in the same boat, I'm in active protest mode until the coaching staff is changed. I know I'm just one person but until a collective group of fans do the same, I'm not sure a change will be made.

Maybe Bjork is already on top of it, but I don't want to take any chances. I want to look forward to OSU basketball again, my winters are less fun under the CH era.

I was in the row with the guy filming that -- at the far end of the row and sitting beyond the guy at the very beginning who was standing in a red jacket/hat combo. It didn't get any better from that video. Definitely not a case of a late-arriving crowd, it was a not-arriving crowd. And those of us that did bother to show up didn't really give a shit because we knew exactly how it was going to go.

Knowing that Gene was there at the game I was trying desperately to find the box he was in so I could go harangue him and hopefully get my ass thrown out of the arena. :lol:
