Agreed that there’s no need to pick this team apart. It’s the program brain trust that needs to be seriously examined.
Game Thread: Seton Hall vs Xavier
- Thread starter Powerful Pirates
- Start date
On a serious note, we're getting our ass handed to us by a middle of the pack Xavier team. How bad will it be against Marquette, Uconn, Creighton & St Johns ? Looking like eight 30point beat downs coming. I don't even want to think about the DePaul game coming up. Lose that one & it's a Georgetown type season.
Someone has to be held responsible for this mess. the President & BOR should have the entire group, from AD down to the assistant coaches explain what they did wrong & what they will do to correct the problem. The first one to cry NIL should be handed walking papers, that is not an acceptable excuse.
I'm done with this rant, going to get a drink---Happy New Year

The question is will an 0-20 camapaign do more to ignite some wealthy alum than a 3-17 season?
I don’t know why it would motivate them, my guess is this team‘s performance is turning more people towards apathy.
Wealthy people are competitive. That bad might motivate them.
3 or 4 "should be back"? Who besides Coleman? And I'd be shocked if he doesn't land at a large state school with deep pockets.
That is total BS- show up like a man.
What wealthy alum would that be? Frankly, this team looks god awful. It's not even competitive. We may not have had a ton of money, but certainly enough to at least appear competitive on the court. Even if there is someone out there willing to pay, would they even want to do without changes to the AD or coaching staff?
“It’s tough because we come back from Christmas break and guys got three days off and you think guys will be juiced and got their legs under them. We couldn’t practice this week – this guy was hurt, this guy couldn’t do this. So we had no good preparation because I can’t get…freaking five guys just to practice because everybody’s got something wrong with them."
“If you’ve got to coach effort and toughness, you ain’t going to win games, and that’s what I’m dealing with right now. It’s amazing guys are hurt, they can play in a game but they can’t practice…I’m still going to coach as hard as I can and keep trying to get this team better and better, but these guys got to want it, too.”
Sounds like a coach with players who have tuned him out.
Wow. Those comments say everything. This year is disaster. Coach wants to win badly and too emotional. He has put together bad roster and odd distribution of minutes. Players more concerned about next earning potential. Tuned him out or giving up on season. Lucky to win a few games.

He's lost the team. Nobody wants to get their bones grinded to dust when 1) they aren't winning 2) there isn't an established sense of mutual loyalty to one another.
Focus on Coleman. Give Felton a chance. Try and mold Gus into something. Maybe you have 3 guys to bring back next year when you try to fix this roster.
Mmm rule of fund raising is, people find to successful organizations, not losing ones.
So…we’ll see
Late, and barely. But yes he finally did. After making Pop wait a long time…
I've seen enough these three years to say coach needs to learn to control his emotions and grow up
Another Sha excuse for his probs-- he is being paid a King's ransom --start looking in the mirror
His response is kind of what I guessed. When is he going to man up and realize that there is a major flaw in how they evaluated certain players. When the team is ranked in the mid 300s in several statistical categories, there is an obvious problem and just throwing money at is not the remedy. The government, both state & federal, is a prime example of that.
