That was a brutal quarter, one of the worst all year and yet we don’t feel the need to call a timeout. I do not understand!

14-0 run. Really a uninspired half. Seems like since they are not calling anything, we therefore drive the ball, get stuck, and have to make a wild shot or pass as a result. Or throw in a low percentage entry to Audi. And we KEEP DOING IT.
I coached 7th grade several years ago and could do a better job at figuring out what we need to do. This is painful! Seriously. Next year could be super painful as many may enter the transfer portal. It's sad.

Ahhh…the fire the coach folks are already in rare form tonight. Coaches don’t shoot and coaches don’t turn the ball over. He's tried a lot of different players to try and get things going. Nothing has gotten the train back on the tracks. We are not a beat ‘em up team so the non calls by the officials obviously favors Princeton.
Yup. We’d never lose if not for the refs.

Normally I agree with you or see that point of view, but this has been too ugly to say it’s anything but coaching. There should’ve been two timeouts minimum taken, and we shouldn’t leave Kelsey and Emily on the bench while a run takes place. Not many fouls in this game honestly, maybe one or two annoying calls but really nothing egregious.

You can not defend that terrible coaching in the 2nd qtr.

I was surprised we didn’t call a timeout to stop that run…especially with subs sitting at the scorers table
I don't know how anyone can defend Bill and his attitude of letting them play through it. Call a frigging timeout to at least try to regroup. When it went south on offense we just quit playing any defense. Probably time for this season to end but absolutely have no reason to think next year will be any diiferent.

Kelsey should only come out if she's in foul trouble... or just needs a quick breather. She should be playing close to the entire game if possible.

Dude, he recruited these players. It’s on him.

I’m not saying timeouts shouldn’t be used. And I’ve wondered about why a couple of players are not on the court. My point is that it hasn’t mattered who was on the court…it was out of sorts play by every single one.

That gets solved with a timeout to slow things down.

And who is responsible for putting the players in the right position? And who is responsible for coaching the players when they are out of sorts? Throwing your hands up in a win or go home game is unacceptable. An embarrassment of a quarter not just for how poorly the team played, but for how poor the leadership was - from the adults in the room.

Who recruits/signs off on these extremely slow of foot players? Bill.

Whose job is it to find a way to get these extremely slow of foot players to play to the level of competition, commensurate to his tenure and pay? Bill.

The audacity to gaslight fans for criticizing his coaching. FFS
