Everyone of you all who constantly blame Billy Q for every loss apparently have little clue to the game of basketball.

Yes it's his job to get these players ready, it's his job to practice and set the lineups and substitute.

BUT after the game starts and the players hit the court he can only coach from the sidelines. He can coach and demand plays be ran and defenses be ran but it is up to the PLAYERS to execute. If they can not execute it is not any of the coaches fault. It is up to the players to execute, to switch men and ball screens, it's up to the players to box out and hit free-throws. I don't know where you all think it's up to Billy to control everything. You have unrealistic expectations for this team to begin with because they were never that good anyway.

Yes they should have beat Georgia but you have to look at this:

* Georgia shot lights out, Billy switched up trying to find a good matchup but sometimes a team is just better.

* Meeks was off tonight and forced a lot of shots towards the end.

* Porter took an illadvised 3 in the corner. An easy pump fake and drive to the basket would have worked as well.

* Turnovers are the story once again.

* Scoring droughts for UK always come back to hurt.

Billy can only control so many aspects of the game, while the players have to be accountable for the rest. But the thing is the players are never to blame.

The saying goes the players always get the credit for a win and the coach is always to blame for the loss.

You all need to come back down to earth from your expectations for this team and quit using Billy G for a scapegoat on UK basketball for now. He has brought in a lot of talent to UK and once Porter and Harris are gone this team will be in a better shape.

Our poor play is a result of poor coaching. It is coaches job to get his team fired up/motivated to play. I think coaches act is even wearing thin on the players, and their poor performances reflect that.

Also, since he brought in a lot talent like you speak of, then why doesn't he use them??
