Basketball coach needs to control team on the court

After watching the last three men's basketball games, I have been quite angry with our coach, Jerry Dunn.

We have lost these last Big Ten games to lack of discipline from the sideline. Players taking ridiculous shots from all over the court and not playing a structured game are leading to multiple losses.

Jerry Dunn needs to have control of his team while it is on the court. Our team would be so much more of a threat with a big-time coach.

I feel that our players now have a lot of talent, but they look like they are playing a street ball game.

I don't understand why the basketball program hasn't picked that much since entering the Big Ten. We have some of the best facilities in the country and a great athletic department, but we never seem to bring in big recruits.

Penn State needs to bring in a new coach who can bring in top-of-the-line recruits and can coach our team to the top 25.

I am a strong supporter of our team and love watching them play, but I am sick and tired of watching them lose. As a supporter of our team, I encourage our students to come and support our players in their next game at home against Illinois.

Let's make the Jordan Center wild on Wednesday and help our players end their winless drought.
