I don't have an answer for this one, but how much of Mika leaving was because

Zero. Zero is how much of his leaving was because of fan criticism.

Coach Cleve mentioned he didn't think Eric had a lot of fun this year

From his perspective, what could there not have been to like?

Maybe he didn't like the lack of effort he saw from some teammates on...

Why does him not having fun translate to fan criticism?

It's not the first time Cleveland has commented about the negativity outside the program

Agree this, but how can you say with such certainty?

It's naive to think that fan criticisms didn't negatively impact his experience

Was anybody ripping on Mika? Mika was really the only untouchable consistent

Do you like working in a negative environment even if you're not the one

I had a psycho boss that was regularly yelling at my co-workers. Her office was right next to mine

BYU fans were incredibly mild considering the product on the court this year.

Agreed

Honestly, I think most of the negativity was from within not from without.

It would take a guy with pretty thin skin to be bothered by that...

I disagree. I doubt it was the major factor. And I agree it may well not have

Like I said, of course people on here would think so.
Lip Gallagher
5/17/17 12:51pm
I didn't say anything about this board in particular. I said "fans."
gwalker
5/17/17 1:02pm
So if it was 1%, is the point still just to say "it mattered?"
Lip Gallagher
5/17/17 1:06pm
Maybe so. My question was a question. I wasn't drawing any conclusions

Ain't that the truth

I did and the point is the same regardless if he is get paid.

Not sure I agree.

I read it. You suggested that the lack of fun might be attributable to fans

You oversimplified dramatically. Of course, not winning as much as expected

Nah, simplified just the right amount, I'd say.

"fun and care free days of college" and being a D1 athlete do not apply.

He sat out a year of HS to play for LP. I'm not surprised he left early.
