What makes you hope for Brenchley to return? Has he done anything positive all year? He’s a complete non factor. We’ve got 3 guys coming in that play his position, and they are all better than him.

Riley Battin, Jaxon Brenchley, and most of all Larry Krysturnoveriak
Gach is pretty terrible, but at least he has the potential to be a difference maker. He should be the microwave guy off the bench. He’s very talented, but he needs to learn how to actually play basketball.
Battin has steadily regressed since last year. He’s statistically…[Read more] -
chinngiskhaan replied to the topic You’ve seen the last of Both Gach in a Utah uniform in the forum Basketball (Men) 5 years, 5 months ago
LOLZ… Both looks like a deer in the headlights 90% of the time he is on the floor. If by the league you mean the Chinese Basketball Association I can maybe see your point.
Both has a ton of potential. I don’t want him to leave, but he makes horrible decisions with the basketball. He looks like he hasn’t fully grown into his body still, and it…[Read more]

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Utah turnover margin rank in the forum Basketball (Men) 5 years, 5 months ago
Thank you for posting this. This is far and away the biggest reason he needs to go. The turnovers from lazy passing and plain old stupid basketball decisions is mind boggling. It’s something his teams have always struggled with, and something that has been their downfall every year.
Man, that list is hard to look at.

chinngiskhaan started the topic I would not want to play Utah in the conference tournament in the forum Basketball (Men) 5 years, 5 months ago
They are just now figuring things out as a team. Carlson has emerged, Plummer has emerged, Gach seems to have found his confidence again… If these guys can play with confidence on the road we might really make some noise. Asking them to play with confidence on the road is a big ask, but if Gach can bounce back like he did tonight, you never know.

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Realistic Average? in the forum Basketball (Men) 5 years, 5 months ago
I’m perfectly happy giving the coach 1 more year. The more I watch, the more I see that he is making adjustments in game, and he is devising offensive game plans that would work for us if we hit open shots and didn’t abandon the plan so early and so often.
The thing that irritates me still is that we have always had turnover issues with Krystko.…[Read more]

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Realistic Average? in the forum Basketball (Men) 5 years, 5 months ago
Yeah, if we get back in the 1-4 range next year, I’ll be happy with where the program is going. While I wouldn’t be disgusted with an average rank of 4th in the conference, I think we certainly can do better, as the team has proven.
I don’t see us ever usurping Oregen as the best team in the conference, not for more than 1 season at a time…[Read more]

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Realistic Average? in the forum Basketball (Men) 5 years, 5 months ago
Based on previous years, I would say a reasonable average would be somewhere around 4th place in the Pac12. If that is our average finish, I’m not calling for the coach to be fired. There will be some years where we finish higher, and some where we finish lower. We would be at least in the conversation for the NCAA tourney every year.
Most years…[Read more]

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Utes at Stanford Game Discussion in the forum Basketball (Men) 5 years, 5 months ago
If this team didn’t have so much potential (this team including it’s incoming members), I wouldn’t be tempted to watch these games. The current iteration of the team is painful to watch most of the time (especially on the road). With the amount of wide open shots we miss (usually very badly), you’d think we were watching a church ball game…[Read more]

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic USC game thought in the forum Basketball (Men) 5 years, 5 months ago
Yeah, I just don’t get it. We can’t have shooters afraid to shoot. His lack of energy is toxic. He is a bad defender, a terrible athlete… he’s passed up more open shots than any shooter should ever pass up. We need our shooters to shoot. We don’t have enough of them for any of them to disappear.

For the second game in a row Utah has actually attempted to get the ball into the paint regularly. They gave up on it early in the previous game but this week they went back to it again and again.
plummer is the reason we won that game. He should be starting Along with Jones, Gach, Jantunen and Carlson.
Battin is a waste of space. He does the…[Read more] -

chinngiskhaan started the topic I do not have a problem (zero problem whatsoever) with the basketball transfers in the forum Basketball (Men) 5 years, 5 months ago
What DOES piss me off re: our basketball coach is that the offensive philosophy is and always has been flaming hot garbage.
I don’t know if any of you remember what things were like when he took over and our team was full of division II players? I remember. His entire strategy was to have the players pass it around the perimeter and waste as much…[Read more] -
chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Utes wilting on the road again… in the forum Basketball (Men) 5 years, 6 months ago
ugh, it’s really frustrating to watch. Just pass the ball around the perimeter repeatedly until the shot clock runs out, then the guy that shouldn’t be shooting jacks up a contested shot. Same anemic offense for years and nothing has been done to change it. The only time it was ever any different was when we had two all americans on our team.

Even if a bunch of bench players transfer again, we are going to be better next year.

When your best offensive player is a guard that makes Ben Simmons look like a good shooter, you have a spacing problem.

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Is anyone else concerned that we are running Rylan Jones into the ground? in the forum Basketball (Men) 5 years, 6 months ago
To be clear, if he was healthy, and an upper classman I would be perfectly happy with it. I’m sure he’s not complaining, but it was a little crazy seeing him play 44 minutes last night.
