How many times have players on the team been accused of breaking the law this year? Most teams don't have issues like that. Irrelevant.
How many have had academic issues this year? See above.
We've had one leave for personal reasons, and no proof that his statement about it is anything other than what he said. See above again.
We've had 6 different players score 20 or more points in a game, and 5 will be returning, with another who scored 18 in a game. That stat doesn't really mean much at all besides the fact that the players are very inconsistent because they're just not that talented. Honestly, this stat works against the point you're trying to make.
The season still isn't over, and it's clear the team has turned the corner, and is playing much better. It isn't clear at all, it's your completely biased (and incorrect) opinion.
There is no reason to believe any player other than Hughes might leave this year, besides Woods. He had his friend leave the program, and it is understandable he was upset, and wanted to go with him. Now, after some time has passed, and he's returning to form, we shall see how things play out. Ok?
The team is young. It seems those who are here are committed and happy with the coach, and taking instruction from him. The team is finally coming together. Fire the coach and ruin the work that it took to clean house and get things moving forward again. It will set the program back again. It takes a team two years to finally come together? That's a sign of a bad coach.
There is still the issue of the allegations of the academic misconduct which must be addressed. There is reason to question the credibility of the accuser, but even so, the nature of the allegations lend itself to long term presence of the NCAA on campus. It is a cloud that must be removed before doing anything on the coaching front. Nothing will come of that and it's only brought up by people who want to use it as an excuse that Mizzou wouldn't be able to get a good coach.
KA has failed and will be fired. I hope you support the new coach as strongly as you support this failure of a coach that we have now.
