I don't think height has much at all to do with coaching, but I will agree that Gregory's skills are sub-par at best. I've been at both preseason games, along with nearly every home game for the last 6 years. It seems like every year the team recruits athletic kids that put up decent high school numbers but almost none amount to anything under the current coaching staff. We have non-physical, small big men (pretty much all of them), uncoordinated guards (Warren, Sandoval), and almost never have the rule of thumb "three hot players to win a game" working in our favor. You have Roberts consistently, and the entire rest of the team is a big mystery which usually provides a decent game from one other player and poor games from everyone else.

The exhibition against Cal of Pa was so frustrating to watch that I had to leave 5 minutes early. I literally couldn't stand to watch another pass go out of bounds, another forced shot, or another slow-paced offensive set. I'll be at the games supporting the Flyers for the sake of being a lifetime fan, but I am not looking forward to the beatings we may all witness throughout another let-down year under Gregory.

If I were the Director of Athletics, Gregory's term would have expired last season after an 8-8 record in a slumping A-10 conference...
