I think the big difference is the way the officials call the game now and CMA hasn't adapted.  You can still run his style but you have to be able to play in the half court as well.  He should have hired an X & O guy and added some set plays for the half court offense.  The half court defense has been even worse.  I think in the past when there wasn't a whistle every other possession his teams where able to capitalize off turnovers and limit other teams possessions.  Also, when there were less whistles the other team didn't shoot a ton more free throws than Arkansas.
He has to teach the kids that they can still play the same type of pressure ball without putting their hands on the ball handler. If they could learn how to do that they would be fine. And by golly teach them how to not switch every 1/5 or 2/5 ball screen. It's gonna make me pull my freakin hair out! What little I do have.

He has never been great anywhere for the long haul.  Not sure why anyone thinks that will happen here.  There are a lot more <20 win seasons there than >25 win seasons

Not sure how this chart will look posted from my phone.

Because he sat on the bench with Nolan.

Not sure what this means but from the sound it, it is highly questionable. Are you saying Nolan wasn't a good coach?

If you would pull your head out of your butt and stop trying to create something that is not there, it is pretty obvious what he is saying.  MA is here because we loved Nolan and his teams and thought that his understudy could return us to glory.  He cannot...  If MA did not have that bench connection to Nolan, he would not still be here, see Heath and Pel for evidence.

Pork Twain, I like you but how about we cut out the "I'm not a grown man" type comments. Thank you sir. We can talk and debate like men all day but that's not necessary.

BTW I agree that his connection helped him get his job. My connections helped me get my current job. So what. I think that's the case for most of us. Sometimes it's not what you know it's who you know.

it is hard to have a conversation with some of you because you are constantly manufacturing stuff out of what people say instead of just commenting on what is actually posted. IT is very clear, had Mike Anderson not been Nolan's protege, he would not have been hired to start with, and, even if he were, he would not have survived 16-16 last season.

You remind me of some of the people that used to haunt the politics forum, always trying to read between the lines in stead of reading the lines themselves.

That's why I asked him the question so he could verify what he meant. Not Pork Twain. Did I not? I'm not a mind reader or an interpreter. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

Having to explain everything to someone can be frustrating.  I know lots of grown me that have their heads up their butts, I usually call them jr enlisted or officers.

If that were the case with you getting your current job, I should not need to explain the comments about MA, yet I did because you were just trying to stir the pot.  Not really a very adult choice.  I am still not sure how that connection was not clear to you from the beginning.

I've heard this Mike connection with Nolan before and I believe it to be true. I just wanted him to explain exactly what he was referring to before I started "stirring the pot". ;D

By even asking, you are insinuating that it is something other than the obvious answer.  I believe I am more than justified in saying you had your head up your butt, with those passive-aggressive tactics.  I have been a poster here from the beginning and I have yet to see people go after a coach over race, but people sure like to use that as a distractor.

Anderson is a medicre coach.  Once he got to Power 5 Conferences (Big 12 and SEC) he is 97-82 in 10+ seasons of conference play (.541).  That's an average yearly record of 9.2-7.8 in conference play, so 9-8 or so.  MEDIOCRE!  NOT UP TO ARKANSAS EXPECTATIONS OR STANDARDS!

The party line is that he's never had a losing season, but that's because his teams' out of conference schedules have generally been weak.  When he was at UAB, the conference schedule was also atrocious, so he could rack up lots of wins.

Unfortunately, in the Power 5 Conferences, Mike Anderson is out of his league when compared with the top quarter of coaches / programs.

It's time for a change!

I wasn't talking about race. I was wondering was he saying Mike was a bad coach because he coached under Nolan. A little paranoia going on Twain?

there's a few items that i've never bought:

1. how good MA supposedly was at UAB and Missouri, and
2. how great the incoming class is supposed to be.
The rest of the frog.

Well, that is not what he said at all...

Because he sat on the bench with Nolan.

Pretty clear to me that he was saying that the only reason people thought he could do something here that he had never done before was for no other reason than he sat on the bench next to Nolan.  Surely not based off of his own accomplishments.  I am not sure what about that is so hard to understand.  Your tactics are still highly questionable.

I know exactly what he said. He said this and I quote "Because he sat on the bench with Nolan..." while responding to this and I quote "He has never been great anywhere for the long haul.

So he really didn't specify anything that's why I asked the question so he could specify. Then after you specified for him I responded. I guess everybody's not as smart as you or catches on as fast as you do Twain. We're not all genius's... ;)

Why don't you knock off with the racial inferences. My statement was clear. He was hired because because of his past coaching association with Nolan. Period.

Just slow down when you are reading lil feller and maybe read it aloud and then it might makes sense.  ;)

I'm curious to know what has happened to Anderson since he got here? he dominated at UAB and Mizzou, but can't seem to get anything going here
Look higher than Mike and you'll get your answer
