Vast majority of our fans (IMO) think gym size smack is weak and plain stupid

from a give-the-other-guy-more-motivation standpoint. Don't confuse a dumb 21-yr-old hothead Instagram post with our fanbase in total. I love lots of things about Nick and believe he is and will continue to be a fantastic player, but he is also too much of a cocky hothead right now. He better come ready to play tonight after posting that.

You are correct - and question for you

OC Coug

1/5/17 11:09am

You're right, this should absolutely not be tolerated!

buhler08

1/5/17 11:13am

No lets just keep it going as is, these deep NIT runs are awesome

OC Coug

1/5/17 11:22am

That is completely unrelated to your original comment

buhler08

1/5/17 11:31am

Behavior exists because its tolerated

OC Coug

1/5/17 11:43am

OK if it's tolerated, then there should be a history of past events

Indy Coug

1/5/17 11:47am

Uh no, this is a fruit of the issue

OC Coug

1/5/17 12:18pm

If that's your response, then I really can't take your criticisms seriously

Indy Coug

1/5/17 12:33pm

Just to chime in

seryran

1/5/17 12:39pm

You think Dave Rose's teams are disciplined?

OC Coug

1/5/17 12:42pm

You really don't know what you are talking about

buhler08

1/5/17 12:52pm

30.9% of BYU's total FGA are from 3 point range. 297th in the nation

Indy Coug

1/5/17 12:55pm

Uhh I don't judge basketball discipline by number of 3s taken

OC Coug

1/5/17 1:05pm

BYU's offensive efficiency has been too high for too long to

Indy Coug

1/5/17 1:13pm

Yeap its been a fantastic offensive efficiency that makes

OC Coug

1/5/17 1:40pm

BYU's offensive problems in the first half was because they couldn't hit a shot

Indy Coug

1/5/17 1:48pm

You keep bringing up the NIT

buhler08

1/5/17 1:25pm

You do realize that BYU has more HS talent and resources at its disposal

OC Coug

1/5/17 1:48pm

KenPom rates our D 63rd this year, not bad considering how young this team is

This is possibly the dumbest post of CB ever. History made!

Actually the reason why we have not won a WCC yet is this:

BYUheaven

1/5/17 11:10am

But Byu has split with the Zags almost each year

seryran

1/5/17 11:16am

...which makes Gonzaga a better basketball program than us right now

SingleStrapBackpack

1/5/17 11:21am

because Gonzaga has had more depth!

warp

1/5/17 11:23am

I thought that depth was the strength of this team.

Linkcoug

1/5/17 8:24pm

That's killing the narrative

OC Coug

1/5/17 11:23am

H2H isn't the only indicator of program strength. BYU hasn't had the talent

benny1982

1/5/17 11:27am

We beat you the last two years because KC went crazy on you guys.

BYUheaven

1/5/17 11:36am

Exactly, Gonzaga is the better team. They don't loose to the cream puffs.

TheLoneCougar

Gonzaga wins when it matters most.

That and Gonzaga is good and serious talent issues at BYU. The front court

johnnybyu

1/5/17 11:10am

Well, also we haven't had a year where we were even considered the best team

rcbyufan

1/5/17 11:10am

I definitely agree that this was a pretty dumb move.

jensen46

1/5/17 11:11am

I'll take that

seryran

1/5/17 11:30am

Understandable.

jensen46

1/5/17 11:39am

I could buy this being why we haven't won yet. It is clearly speculation

TheLoneCougar

1/5/17 12:11pm

no disagreement from me. WCC has been nothing but class to BYU.

Cougarclaw

1/5/17 11:12am

The reason we haven't won the WCC is we haven't had great teams since Jimmer

ayfan

1/5/17 11:15am

While this is true, still think the OP makes a fair yet embarrassing point. Just think the gym size smack is

soupie

1/5/17 11:17am

I can never keep up with kids. So now they're using "histogram"?

Grit for Brains

1/5/17 11:17am

Yep, BYU players need to stop worrying about the size of the arena.

benny1982

1/5/17 11:17am

BYU has not won because they have not had the best team...

CoastalCoug

Fans make comments all the time

Unfortunately, a Zags fan with the POTD

warp

Good arguement and Greif

stonecougar

1/5/17 11:22am

Yeah it was more of a rant

seryran

1/5/17 11:28am

Fan support plays a big part in program success for a lot of reasons.

benny1982

1/5/17 11:31am

That's fair about my personal feelings

seryran

1/5/17 11:35am

And I disagree. BYU has rarely had the depth to overcome bad games from their

Polecat

1/5/17 1:55pm

The inverse relationship between those who bash size of St Mary's gym and intellect is a valuable CB indicator. Emery's

roseyscenario

1/5/17 11:34am

Someone let Mark Few know that you're not supposed to rail on these programs

Westsider

1/5/17 11:38am

He wants these schools to make more of an effort

seryran

1/5/17 11:46am

And how do you find more $ to pay coaches?

Westsider

1/5/17 12:05pm

I'm perfectly fine with complaining about the quality of the teams

seryran

1/5/17 12:12pm

I've been on record a lot as saying I don't give a rip about gym size. Quality

gwalker

1/5/17 11:50am

I think realistic fans understand that the size of the gym doesn't mean anything

TheLoneCougar

1/5/17 12:06pm

Not to be nitpicky

tcherrin

1/5/17 12:23pm

I didn't see the game live

seryran

1/5/17 12:30pm

Fair enough

tcherrin

1/5/17 3:40pm

I agree. Not a fan of disrespecting the small resources of other schools

1/5/17 12:33pm

Disagree on a few things you say, here are my thoughts.

I think most of us here agree with you.

jkccoug

1/5/17 1:39pm

I don't think you'll get much disagreement here. Nick has been pilloried today.

There is only one reason why BYU hasn't won the WCC...

Another reason...just not being very good.

I'll defend Emery here. Your post is so over the top, it's silly, and wrong on

This is so stupid. Why can't players and fans just take a harmless jab

Great post and I couldn't agree more I'm just curious

rmemory

BYU hasn't won because Gonzaga has built a great program
