coaches need to settle him a bit and keep his head cool cause we really need him playing as aggressive and consistent as he has been lately over the next 2. He very well may be the key to the upsets. He has been the most consistent inside and outside of late. If he brings the St. John's game and we get what's expected from IW and AD we can beat both PC and X.

THIS.... That entire line of thinking during the preseason was/is completely unfathomable to me.
Why does it matter what the coaching staff was thinking last October. Maybe Singh was shooting lights out and Willard was thinking we need more 3 point shooting. We are at the bottom of the league in 3 point offense. But the coaching staff correctly made the decision to go with Desi. Why keep bringing this up?
Got to agree with radecicco. Again the board is still in constant criticize Willard mode.
I can't believe we are discussing a subject about a possible opening day starter.
As noted above if Veer Singh didn't deserve to start as the early season progressed then Willard clearly would have made the change.
Posters have to stop living in the past. If you have a current issue with Willard's decision making go right ahead and discuss it. But guys, we're 19-7 and we're harping on minutia.

I agree with Dan here. Can we got off of Willard for a second? Jeez. His team is 19-7, 9-5 and we're in line for our first NCAA bid in 10 years and we're continuing to go after the guy.
Yes, the past 5 years sucked. But they're over.

I'm not a Willard fan. I'll admit he's done a much better job this year but that doesn't mean he's perfect. Also, the middle of the Big East has really under performed. Georgetown might be the most disappointing team in the country, Providence, Marquette, etc
I don't see anything wrong with that, in and of itself. When everything is considered, the scale still tilts toward the side that says he's not a very good coach.
But, having said that, the Veer-as-opening-day-starter criticism is ridiculous. Let it go. It wasn't an issue then, and it couldn't matter less now.
You can't make a point by choosing one sentence in an entire post.

I'm actually agreeing with you, Dan - not about Willard, in general, but as far as harping on what I consider minutia, too, like him having considered starting Veer at the beginning of the season. That didn't happen, so who cares? Why is it still an issue?
forget about the nonsense noise people on Willard this and that and veer was gonna start but .... It doesn't matter. What does matter is we have another terrific weapon in desi Rodriguez. If the coaching staff can keep his head straight on the court and on the bench he can be the lightning rod we need the rest of the season. He is a fan favorite and is playing so consistent day in and out.
I get it. I just parsed that line of yours so my own post would make more sense.
Just so I'm clear: I see nothing wrong with valid criticism of Willard. But the Veer issue is not, to me, valid or vital. That's all.
