The Jim Sterk era has officially returned to WSU athletics with McCoy at the helm. No way to sugar coat it.

We spend a decent amount on athletics and are competing with mid-tier WCC teams.

This is NOT acceptable and has NOTHING to do with NIL or how much we give to WSU.

We have a culture of mediocrity and it starts at the top.

Proposing a solution or just blowing off steam?

I think it's irresponsible to beat up on an AD who hasn't had any time to make an impact....but David Riley is failing as a head coach right now. 0-2 against the worst team in the WCC is unacceptable.
 
Let’s not lose all objectivity. The team has dealt with significant injury issues and had they stayed healthy things would look a whole lot different.

wtf is up with the turnovers? Im no basketball expert but if you turn it over the equivalent in football every game, the coach is a fuggin idiot.

Riley gotta get that shit fixed yesterday.

Preach!!!
 
Losing a 3rd of your roster is an excuse?

some posters here have lost all grip on reality. One of them in particular probably never had it.
 
Not having a line in the sand of what is acceptable and what isnt is a prob. Too many excuses is what losing and losers are made of. What is the least you are willing to accept?
I get my definition of losers from 1. Guys who live in a van down by the river and 2. Middle aged dudes who peaked in high school and work on Saturdays. In that order.

I wouldn't have hired McCoy. I never liked the hire.

Fair or now fair, we are a middle of the road West Coast Conference athletic program. It's not blowing off steam to say this is not acceptable based on the belief we are a "power 4" level program.

The solution is not to accept mediocrity as a fan base.

Too many WSU “fans” embrace excuses… As Jon Taffer would say… Excuses keep average to bad employees employed.

Taffer works on businesses with a long record of "bad employees" established. We have less than 1 season with Riley and a lineup and rotation that was wrecked in December. There are issues Riley needs to address, but not enough data to suggest Riley is a bad employee.

There's more WSU "fans" that overreact given the available information than embrace excuses.
