A reasonable question.

I miss the Old Alum story link recaps.

Coleman’s return will depend on what Power schools (e.g. Kansas, Ohio State, Florida etc.) come calling.

Will be hard to match what they have to offer. Sad but that is the joke system the NCAA created.

Pitino is right that they are paid employees right now and should have to sign a contract for an agreed upon number of years of service. Only way they are released from honoring those signed contracts is if head coach leaves.

Beane—and Alderson before him—really just incorporated more of an analytics approach along with the scouts take, together.

Unlike the film, Beane didn’t completely ignore his own scouts. He just didn’t completely take their word for it.

And it wasn’t just because of Beane’s ineptitude as a player despite being highly touted.

He knew kids matured at different paces (or not at all). And despite being really great on a lower level with a supposed superior skill set, it didn’t translate to the big league field.

Reflective of this SHU team and all the “upside” of the high high school rankings of this group.

Yea that’s partly correct but they did start a trend that lead to dismantling most scouting departments within mlb

That’s the game you see today..most regional and national scouting departments are fractions of what they were

They didn’t create anything as platooning has been a part of the game forever

What they did was deemphasize the need for a absolute need to watch a player thoroughly for periods time..also they sell ownership how they can get a better product for much cheaper which is why it’s so prevalent in the game today and one of the reasons for the extreme distaste between mlbpa and mlb over the past 20 years

Lots of extra writing in there by Carino. I think he’s doing his best to keep interest for SHU alive.

He’s clearly extending an olive branch to Shaheen. I would love to see Sha use him in the future more and trust Carino’s opinion

I don’t like to pile on the school but they are so lost here..it’s not a direct Frank the tank will cure NIL…that’s foolish..but he is a big brand inside of a monster brand and we have less than zero juice whatsoever

We should lean into him at all costs

Why does Pitino go on BT & Sal midday show (possibly the worst sports talk radio show of all time btw) or go on BT podcast or why is there a St Johns show on vice? They have nil money…it’s about juice and exposure and seeming to be “big time”

We need that so badly

Calipari doing that Vice show for Arkansas too.

Players are obviously important and I’ll leave that to the staff but is it at all possible Sha will bring in someone to help him run a defined and distinct offensive system?

One that we don’t need the premium end talent (that we can’t afford) and start to look for players who do specific things needed for that system

• Love that UConn has now lost 4 straight years at the rock.
• We watched Godswill grow up right in front of our eyes today. The kid has a CBB future.
• Good for Wusu, a small redemption story in what has been a tough season.
• Great job by the fans to still show up and bring a BE home court atmosphere.
• The defensive was connected today, hedging on screens, switching off the ball, and challenging shots at the rim.
• For a coach that supposedly has lost the locker room, his players fought like dogs today and played down to the final seconds without any quit.
• Would love to see them press more throughout the game. It tends to lead to positive results.
• They aren’t world beaters but a different team when healthy and the rotation shortened.

They can’t turn the season around, but hopefully they can build off of this for the remainder of the year and take some momentum in the Garden.

Today made you feel proud to be a Pirate. Hopefully there are more days like this in our future. DAMN you NIL / Transfer portal for making me fear the worst for my beloved Seton Hall.

Didn’t you say a few weeks ago that it didn’t matter if we went winless for the rest of the be season? Sooo…..????

Great commentary
