I pretty much thought this team would take a step back after TD left, but they have completely bottomed out. I watched some of the game yesterday, and there really is a big problem going on. I think there's some really bad attitudes that have severely affected the team. The guys simply aren't playing "together" at all. Kermit is a very good coach, and he's got his work cut out for him this year and probably some big decisions to make on players remaining on the team.

Kermit needs to get rid of the players with bad attitudes.  My thoughts are that most scholarships are a year to year thing based on an annual renewal.  If this is true, then some of the players do not need to get renewed no matter how good they are or how good they are supposed to be.  Maybe some of the bad apples need to sit on the bench or stay at home for traveling games.  It would be better to get beat while playing with players who want to play instead of having bad attitudes on the court.

I think Kermit is really starting to impose his discipline this season. He left Sy  back in Oxford for Florida because he didn't like Sy's attitude and "body language" in the previous game. Kermit is quick to chew out players and to bench them when they make a turnover, etc. Apparently some players aren't used to that. Kermit is going to run a disciplined program. The players who can adapt to that will thrive in it. Those who can't adapt will have problems.
