This team is terrible. Hopefully most of them are gone next year. The only ones I'd want to stay are DHS and Ndjigue, but even if they left I wouldn't shed a tear. But the person who really needs to leave is Frank Martin.

Team is terrible to watch. Error after error. No recognizable offense. Looks like playground ball. I cannot watch the games though I try.. Cannot Frank put in an offense where they pass the ball like Richmond does? Has Frank accepted the fact that they are going to win zero league games unless HE Frank put in series of plays - a real offense?And defense ?And they practice free throws? Gosh it’s like the Patriots! Frank got to be a coach not just a recruiter! UGH!

This just in from Yosemite Sam, "Frank Martin is the stinkingest, rottenest, low down, worthless coach, North, South, East, and West of the Pecos."

The worst part of it all is knowing that you care more than the people in charge. I love my alma mater and it's really sad to be justified in feeling that way.

It's almost as if what he wants them to do is not understood and they don't recognize when to do what. Maybe a more simplified offense that is more disciplined in the movement, because there's a LOT of standing & watching. Rarely any cutting. And the same stuff every game

There's no joy in playing the game from this team or from the bench. The mood always looks pissed off and forced
Starting to look like Frank doesn't want to be here

Agreed. DHS is fantastic and I hope he stays, although I'll understand 100% when he decides not to.

I don’t see how any one would what to play for Martin. Guess he use to be a good coach, was excited when he came here, believe he is just running the clock out. The future of Umass basketball is bleak. Almost 80 so I doubt if I will ever see a competitive Umass team again.

I agree with some of you that coaching is a problem. Don't see any changes in the future

Malek is just awful, it's hard to believe that Doumbia wouldn't be better.

You and I have disagreed on Curry, but yeah that was pathetic. He was trying to direct someone to either head to the basket or set a screen. That player either wasn't paying attention or didn't receive the message and Curry got frustrated and just hoisted up a bad shot. I believe that was after a timeout as well, right? How that type of execution happens in the final moments after a TO is beyond me.

What's the deal with Malek? He starts every game but doesn't do anything, gets yanked early and barely p lays late in the half. The season is a bust, let's see what Amadou can do out there.

Frank keeps this crap up he'll be sitting next to Seth Greenberg soon. What a disgrace.

We don't have the money to make that happen because ass clown Bamford just gave him a big extension

Decided to watch the game, mistake. What a bad team. Martin looks ROAD: retired on active duty. Back to watching the women's team and not this mess.

Feel the same way ! I had so much fun during the Cal years ! Never missed a home game and went to away ones too ! Sad

I never missed a game during the Cal years, went to the Meadowlands where they lost to Oklahoma State in the final, 8, Also went to the final 4 at the Meadowlands where Kentucky won. Exciting years.Right now we look worse than we did in the early 80’s

Matt McCall was horrible. But I will swap him back for Frank Martin in a heartbeat
