Observations from a 79-51 blow out loss to St. John’s

Felton is not a PG. He’s doesn’t move quick enough, his dribble is too high and slow, he’s not athletic enough on corners.

He’s a backup BE 2G IMO.
Dual had 5 turnovers. Just saying that Felton creates a more stable offensive set. Maybe SJU is the wrong game to make this case. How about we try to get a lead instead of having to use trapping to get back in. Remember DePaul was up 19. Still can't believe their coach did not foul Wusu up 3 on the last possession of regulation. Personally, I want a new PG on the court next November.

Observations from a 79-51 blow out loss to St. John’s

I would love to know the amount of time we have led in our home big east games, and also how much in all the big east games. I would be shocked if we had the lead more than a combined 15 minutes in all the Big East games combined. Just awful.
Here we go…

vs SJU - 0 minutes
@ BU - 22 seconds
@ PU - 3:36
vs DePaul - 4:25 all in OT
@ Xavier - 2:02 (5-0 lead to start the game)
vs GU - 0 minutes
@ Nova - 6:12

A total of 16:37 seconds for the BE season so far.

This was depressing to research.

good it's finally coming to a head. and its really not just sports.

This stuff has been out there for a while. Most of the national writers have been mocking us all season.
The more the better. It has to get so uncomfortable for everyone there for them to wake up and start doing things. There is still no highly organized effort with resources to drive it.

Onward Setonia is basically being done like part time work.

Does Sha Know What He’s Doing?

As much as I am a Holloway supporter, after I step back and look at the body of work Sha has done here I really believe it’s why the majority of major college coaches need a certain level of “seasoning” before taking on a power program.

It isn’t because Sha can’t coach—I think he can see things quite well and understands what he needs to do.

But the ability to get into kids’ heads and encourage them is something that needs a bit of nuance. Even more so with how kids are babied these days and seen as gods.

Handling the media and being able to separate from what your kids didn’t do for some reason or another also needs a certain learning curve. Sha really takes it as if the media is attacking him and he defends his position vs. being able to distance himself and see his team as an outsider might.

And there is the ability to delegate. He has to. He needs to find viable coaches and a support staff that he feels he can entrust and ask to do his bidding. And someone to actually call out his shortcomings.

I really hope he takes some time after this year and is able to figure some of these things out.

TikTok Ban

Well that’s certainly the hope for Meta and all of the members of congress who voted for the ban who hold investments in Meta…

They’re not the same though, and you can’t really transfer an audience that you have built. The influencers mostly use everything available to them but found their audience through TikTok.
The audience can’t stay on TikTok. It’s not like the audience is staying and the influencer has to go. Everyone audience and influencer is moving

felton plays pg like dual. 10 seconds dribbling at half court. today he is a 2g. i am all for giving him time at the 1 to learn but it aint pretty.

Yup. Felton has a nice shot when he's given time and open. But when he was handling the ball last night, it was clear the SJU kids were "up" on the scouting report, because they were proactively pressuring and attacking him like a piranha to chum.

prince has improved 100 % since the beginning. last night like the rest of us he forced it closer and closer to the rim like he was 6-10. but in most games he gets good shots. what was maddening was a guy getting 8 good shots. getting them all off and making 1. now he is usually making his share. cept for last night.

and if i have to have a big on the floor it will be godswill.

TikTok Ban

I have no clue how social media works. I don't have any of them, but can't the influencer just move from tiktok to instagram?

Pitino

Pitino's list of scandals precedes the FBI investigation of corruption in college basketball that led to his firing at Louisville. He got his out of jail card from Iona after an "impartial" committee found him guilty of Level II violations of not being able to monitor a program. That was good enough for St. John's to hire him.

The NCAA has repeatedly stressed that head coaches be held accountable for the actions of its coaching staffs. If what went on with Pitino in the past was being looked at today by NCAA enforcement, he'd be facing major penalties and unhirable by St. John's.

That said, many schools have revisited what is acceptable for the sake of winning.
The IARP found that he "promoted an atmosphere of compliance" while at Louisville.

He doesn't have to handle and go to the rim. All he has to do is try to pass the ball to Jenkins and Middleton. and Coleman. Plus, if he's open he can shoot. He's not a turnover machine. He did not come into the game until like 10 minutes had passed in the first half?? The rushed cadence of the first many minutes was alarming. If The Hall scored some points it may have given them more energy. How does it look when Dual, Prince, Tubek and Godswill are out there or a variation of that?? I'd rather lose 100-75 taking 35 three pointers than watch that putrid approach to offense.

TikTok Ban

I was never a fan of the Tin Tok ban. I actually really like the platform. However, on both sides of the aisle, the politicians has said this is a national security issue. I don't buy the National security issue if that is meant to videos being shown praising China more than another platform like Reels. However, since so many politicians which included Trump and Biden and well as the majority of Senators took the position that it is a real national security threat with information the public does not know, then it should be banned.

Is the turn around that certain backers of Trump love the platform and he has changed his stance? I don't know. It is either a big sham to ban it or it is a national security threat. Which one is it???? That governs what must be done even if it is a very popular platform.
I’m not on the platform, but it’s not the platform but rather Chinese ownership and the algorithm. If they can find a US buyer, then problem solved, correct?
