I was referring to people that I go to games with or just talk to about the team. I cant think of a single person that I have spoken with over the last 6 months that is even a little excited about the upcoming season and/or about having KW still here as our coach. Though if you really just want to count people from this message board, I suspect that the number is quite a bit higher than 10. Kudos to you for being so optimistic, but I don't get the sense that many people are in the same boat as you so your comment seems to be a bit misguided.Large number? 10 people on this message board.
Is anyone really going to commit to Willard given his tenuous job status based on the 5-year record?
As Isaiah Whitehead would say ,watch out Big East- there is no doubt in my mind that we are NCAA Tournament bound this year.
All the regulars in the few rows around me in my section despise KW... I'd say about 20-25 people that I interact with.... Then the random people who come and rail on KW the entire time is usually a handful of people almost every BE game.
I'd say 30 people per game in my section express their very negative opinion of KW.
I care. And I hope we get one. What is the point of punctuating every sentence with the same stuff we all know.who cares? we're getting none of them until KW is fired or he gives one of their people a coaching job.
This is how I feel. I am completely down on the program but I will continue to make my Pirate Blue donation and renew season tickets. I will also be down in Charleston cheering the team on and traveling to at least 1 or 2 other road games. Maybe having zero expectations is the way to go as it makes it tougher to be disappointed.I understand the boycott thing on some level, but I can't go there myself. Not going to games and pulling financial support makes a tough situation worse. However, I respect someone who takes that kind of stand. Believe me, I still cannot believe that effort at the BigEast Tournament against Marquette. This is hot seat with a capital "H".
I hope I am wrong and we land a number of great recruits,
I think you could figure out what I meant (given the lack of recruiting news I havent really paid much attention to how many spots we actually have available). So i guess I hope that we land 1 quality player with the 1 spot that we have available. Better?With 1 scholarship to give????
That's not a given by any stretch!If we are successful (NCAA) we will get some players.
Even last year, our #1 recruit went down for most of the year.
Oh Please. I am so sick and tired of the so called Seton Hall fans crying that we are incapable of acquiring a top notch candidate to become our head coach. If it is so impossible then how did schools such as Gonzaga do it?How is Dayton thriving under their head coach? What is getting in our way are the ridiculous and inefficient decisions that are constantly being made regarding our basketball program. How excited would we all be if Loser Willard was fired as he should have been and Sha was brought on as head coach backed up by a couple of shark recruiters. This may not be the ultimate solution for some on this board. However, it would have placed us light years ahead of where we are now in regard to juice and energy that is much needed within our program.Willard is the death knell of our program and will deenergis any program that he is connected with.Here we go again. Pirate Crew's favorite pastime: Bash the coach.
What started out as a positive post immediately turned into a bash KW post.
SInce PJ that seems like all we do around here (and even PJ was bashed quite a bit).
George Blaney was run out of town on a rail.
Tommy Amaker left and got bashed (rightfully so I might add).
Louis Orr - Constant bashing from the day he took over ( I was one of them I might add). Yet he got us to the NCAA twice and the NIT once.
Bobby Gonzalez - Another one who was bashed from the day he took the job and then imploded.
KW- now its his turn.
So what's the alternative to Willard?
Does anyone really think that we will be able to get a high level coach to come to a small Catholic school in NJ and more importantly stay here? Maybe we can get another PJ type who will develop into a great coach but that won't last and he will be grabbed up by a bigger school or go pro like PJ.
Let's see what happens this year. KW may not be the next PJ but he has been dealt a lot of injury plagued years. Even last year, our #1 recruit went down for most of the year. I am cautiously optimistic that we will have a decent year.
KW must be the most unlucky coach/person on the planet as he is the only one to have injuries every year. How is it that not a single other program in all of Division 1 basketball had any injuries last year? or the year before? or the year before that?If we hopefully have no major injuries then you will see the results on the court this year.
Oh Please. I am so sick and tired of the so called Seton Hall fans c
