Pelphrey just got SCHOOLED!!!!

[Hoggy1]

Haha, nice defensive play there Pel.

C'mon thirtythree, justify this.

[Table Rocker]

unbelievable.

[Jacob "2 Scoops" Johnson]

Pel was playing d? Hmm, must've missed that.

[L.A.]

who runs man 2 man on out of bounds under your own basket???

[jst01]

that was sad. It's almost like watching Bill Self coach against a jr. high coach from gravette AR. sad for everyone.

[Fletch]

That's two games the other team has gotten a gimme on the last play of regulation. Unbelievable.

[jacksonpollock]

What else can be expected from a Pel team at this point?

[Hoggy1]

Pel was playing d? Hmm, must've missed that.

Wow just shut up.

[Lard]

stupid....maybe Farmer was supposed to switch....nonetheless you don't play M2M under your basket when you're down 1.  Idiot coaching.

[Calling All Hogs]

I'm speechless (but can still type).

[jschulte]

Pel was playing d? Hmm, must've missed that.

Wow, please don't say anything to further show your ignorance.

[Hogeration]

Is Pelphrey trying to get fired?

[BigHog396]

Wow, please don't say anything to further show your ignorance.

Then explain how exactly it is that PELPHREY got schooled on that play.  Farmer didn't switch, so it was Farmer that got schooled.

[Jacob "2 Scoops" Johnson]

Wow, please don't say anything to further show your ignorance.

Wow, last time I checked Pel wasn't standing there letting a guy cut right in front of him. He recruited these horrible defensive players, but the execution was not there. Can't have Pel screaming in their ear at the other end of the court.

[YodaHog]

Too predictable....I told everyone in the room during the timeout that UAB would get a wide open look under the goal.

[PorcineSublime]

that was sad. It's almost like watching Bill Self coach against a jr. high coach from gravette AR. sad for everyone.

Except the Gravette JH coach would have recognized the play and called a TO to get into the right defense. If it is the same coach that was there when my son played against them, he would be an upgrade from what we have now.

[Lanny]

Last time I checked.  pelphrey was still a loser.  WoW, I can't believe Arkansas allows this Clown to continue coaching

[BigHog396]

Might as well get used to it, he's here for at least another season and a half.

[ThrillaHog]

I am sick and tired of this. The Players have nothing to do with this crap anymore. How can anyone anywhere defend what we just witnessed on that court. Pel, im sorry. Get the helll out of Ark. You have turned our team into a doormat for mid major programs! This may very well get deleted, and again im sorry, but this is terrible terrible terrible!

[Hoggy1]

I can take 3 more months of this knowing he will never coach at Arkansas again, it's over after the SEC tourney.

Today was the nail in the coffin.

[Jacob "2 Scoops" Johnson]

At least true hog fans with patience can look foward to next season. He may not be able to coach, but he can recruit.

No way your post is deleted because you are absolutely correct.

Fire Pelphrey

[jschulte]

Then explain how exactly it is that PELPHREY got schooled on that play.  Farmer didn't switch, so it was Farmer that got schooled.

What is the point in even calling a time out then?  Just to give them rest?  No sir son, its to draw out a defense, and let your players know what to expect - and get ready for their offensive play/set.  Which apparently... Pelphrey didn't do a good job getting his players on the court ready.

[PetrinoFan]

Worst coached team in Arkansas history.

[BigHog396]

I can take 3 more months of this knowing he will never coach at Arkansas again, it's over after the SEC tourney.

Today was the nail in the coffin.

Hmmm... lose to a Top 25 team, and that is the nail in the coffin.  Takes a real genius to come up with that scenario.

[Jacob "2 Scoops" Johnson]

recruit what?  are you kidding?

Are you kidding? Take a look at this years class. And next years.
Clueless.
About to get the #1 Juco. #1 player out of Canada.
2011, 5 5-star players seriously considering us.

[dpan]

I understand you may not like Pel, but Nolan lost on last second plays.  Eddie lost some last second plays.  The personal stuff is just mean-spirited.  I hate seeing or hearing the Hogs lose more than anyone, but people being so personal is about as bad as foi-ing someone's text messages.  It is just a game.  Oh yeah, the players have to execute.  Even in man2man, they still should be aware of someone cutting to the basket.

[FedorE]

I didn't think we could possibly be worse than lastyear. I stand corrected. I won't attend or watch another game with him as the coach.

[HoopS]

I've been more Pel friendly than most.   

That was totally horrible coaching.   We even took a timeout to get ready for it.  Sorry.

[Porkem]

No way your post is deleted because you are absolutely correct.

Fire Pelphrey

Lanny...Mike Davis took Indiana to the NCAA Championship game before losing to Maryland.  He outcoached ole Pel on that last play.

[Hoggy1]

He may not be able to coach

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn how the mighty have fallen.  You just proved everyone's argument against you.  Idc how good you can recruit, if you are a bush league coach...you get bush league results.

[claycohog]

This was much worse than being blown out!

Pel=inept

[wildcathawg]

At least true hog fans with patience can look foward to next season. He may not be able to coach, but he can recruit.

what gave you the idea he can recruit? most of his recruits either quit, transfer or are thrown off the team. if you are speaking about potential recruits then i'd like to point out that they arent on campus yet.

[jst01]

I've been more Pel friendly than most.  

That was totally horrible coaching.   We even took a timeout to get ready for it.  Sorry.

I know! that was what was so funny.

UAB came out and showed their hand. Pel calls timeout to react. UAB's coach knows exactly what Pel will try and do and just makes him look like a fool.

I bet coaches scouting our team sit in the video room and laugh when preparing for our offense.

[Jacob "2 Scoops" Johnson]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn how the mighty have fallen.  You just proved everyone's argument against you.  Idc how good you can recruit, if you are a bush league coach...you get bush league results.

Umm, no. It's hard to coach some of these players. Some are bull-headed, and have personal issues that they are stubborn about. I'm not naming names, because I'll respect their privacy. But there are some troubled players on this team on and off the court.

[FedorE]

Stan heath could recruit but not coach. That who you were talking about?

[Hoggy1]

Umm, no. It's hard to coach some of these players. Some are bull-headed, and have personal issues that they are stubborn about. I'm not naming names, because I'll respect their privacy. But there are some troubled players on this team on and off the court.

And Pel knew what each one of these kids were about from talking to them in the recruiting process, right?

It's his own fault for bringing in head cases to put on the court, nobody to blame except the man that recruited them to play for the University of Arkansas.

[Razorod]

which means he can't recruit very well.

[HellofaHog]

Iam i wrong, but i thought the first time they came out with 2.2 left on the clock they were inbounding the ball from the side at half court.
Did us calling a time out let them inbound the ball from under the basket.

[HawgG]

Stan heath could recruit but not coach. That who you were talking about?

No Stan wasn't a great recruiter at all. If he was then he might still be here. Stan is a slightly above average recruiter and HC. Pelphrey is a good recruiter but average to below average HC.

[Oliver]

No Stan wasn't a great recruiter at all. If he was then he might still be here. Stan is a slightly above average recruiter and HC. Pelphrey is a good recruiter but average to below average HC.

Heath was a better recruiter than Pelphrey.  Ronnie Brewer, Sonny Weems, Pookie Modica are were all better than anybody Pelphrey has recruited.  Not to mention he got a top 5 overall recruit to commit to us despite the fact he never stepped foot on our court due to the pro rules at the time.

Nice apologist spin but far from the truth. No big man signed to replace Washington. Players signed are not to found in top 50. Only one to be found inside of the top 100. No 5 star recruits committed for 2011 and none naming us as the top of their lists. No. 1 Juco that is being spun around, doesn't have us listed as a favorite either. It will be no better next season and probably worse.

[Kevin]

no justification today.

i am sure they players have been taught better, but it is the coaches job to make them execute.

if he would have played zone and they hit a wide open three, people would grip about the zone.

you can play it differently, but they should have executed.

[dagnamit]

Did the Hogs play today?

[alohawg]

Is there any doubt our coach will be glued to the tube in a few minutes to root for his favorite team?

[Iwastherein1969]

Then explain how exactly it is that PELPHREY got schooled on that play.  Farmer didn't switch, so it was Farmer that got schooled.

hate to sound like a smart azz, but have you ever played the game ?  UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, do you play MAN to MAN in that situation...underneath the oppositions basket playing Man to Man allows the offense to set one pick and get a guy WIDE OPEN in the lane....most coaches line up in a 2-3 zone to protect from getting picked off their man and are told to, 1) watch anything down low and 2) when the pass is made outside hustle to contest the shot...its BASKETBALL 101....Pelphrey even called a time out to adjust and couldn't make the right call...it is NOT the boy's fault, its the coach's fault for not lining up in the correct defense....my god, I'll bet Mike Davis' eyes lit up when he saw us line up in Man to Man coming out of Pelphrey's timeout...he had to be thinking, "what the hell is this guy doing, but I'll take it"

[HawgG]

Pookie was Nolan's last recruit. I always go by teams filling needs with quality as a gauge of how well the recruiting went. You and I both know that Stan never signed a good PG while he was here and that led to his downfall. The 2005 class was the worse in school history and ultimately were the eventual nails in the coffin. Stan's recruiting was good but he had bad luck and lost out on some real difference makers at the last minute that kept him from doing better then he did as HC here.

A healthy Olu, keeping the commitments of Gibson and Aldridge, getting Thaddeus Young, etc. changes the course of the program, and we never have to mention the name of Coach Pelphrey in the state. Oh well I guess...

Beverly, Weems, Townes, Brewer, Washington are all better than anyone Pel has signed.  As much as everyone made fun of Dontell Jefferson at the point, at least he was 6'6" and is playing professionally.
