Mutiny on the Bounty

[Nbnylon]

One thing we can always count on is this Board trashing everyone when things don’t go well. Its been a very rough season but remember Sha is trying to get how many new faces to come together? It’s not an easy task but as long as they buy into Sha’s program it will be ok.

This is one of the more athletic groups we have had in a while. Yea they can’t shoot straight at the moment, but things will get better.

We always seem to turn the tables somewhere around Christmas, when league play begins. I am the ultimate optimist and believe this year will be no different, albeit a little tougher with the huge turnaround in roster.

Keep the faith.

Go Pirates!

I liked your post hoping you're right...I only wish.
I was always the fan with the glass half full.
This year the glass has a big hole in the bottom...

They deserve to be trashed. From the top down, they are an embarrassment. Coleman said out loud that they didn’t practice hard? My question is— why not? And why the hell would you say that?? Lots of teams have lots of new guys. If it takes half a season to get them to learn how to play basketball, then the system is broken. Looking at you, coach.

Rah rah, go team! Make sure to hand out trophies too. Maybe go for ice cream afterwards? Go little engine that could seton hall!

We’ve lost to Fordham, Hofstra, and a winless Monmouth team - who lost to Presbyterian by double-digits in their last game - drilled us by 12 on our home floor. We already have 2 Q4 losses.

We are a month in. 8 games. A quarter of the season. The Hall is 359th in tempo, 342nd in offensive turnover %, 358th in 2PT%, 356th in FT%. It’s a terrible watch, there’s nothing compelling. The results are worse. We’re lucky to be 4-4 thanks to hot 3PT shooting in SC. We’re watching basically the worst offensive basketball in the country.

Sometimes bad is bad. It’s bad.

Keeping the faith. Remember the early Big East days. Petitions to fire PJ and rumors the Big East was going to boot the Hall.
Several years later almost national champs.
Hope for the best... didn't get much worse then those days...

Free throw percentage says it all. That’s not an accident. We are terrible. Anyone who solely blames the players and doesn’t blame the coach is delusional. He put this roster together and chooses to play this style of “basketball”, NIL be damned. But at least we’re the 5th best scoring defense in the country!

The people on this site are diehards, supporters, they contribute time and money. They’re not going anywhere despite deserving better and having a right to complain when they’re funding the roster.

But clearly something is very wrong with how this team was put together and coached. Teams struggle, need time, sure, but this?? It’s ok to hold the coach accountable while knowing there’s a lot of ball to still be played.

They don't deserve to be trashed at all. The fair weather posters on this forum deserve to be trashed. We all knew this was a rebuild year and there were going to be hiccups. Anyone thinking otherwise and unhappy with the results has rose color glasses on. Basketball is above all else a TEAM sport. You have 10-15 kids who never played together, and you expect a winning season? Get real!

The roster construction has some glaring flaws. Some of our aquisitions are not D1 college players. Very athletic perhaps but not D1 college players.

Another big problem seems to be Sha's apparent refusal to focus enough on offense. If you can't put the ball in the hoop, then no matter how hard you play in practice, you should not see the court come game time.

Bahaha really with this? This was never supposed to be a rebuilding year. There are no such thing as rebuilding years anymore. We had some very knowledgeable posters here claiming we were super deep and athletic and that we would be in the middle of the pack.

Look at what coach brought in here. Rather than retain Kadary or Dre, he wanted to spread the love. We lost to Monmouth. Inexcusable. Get real!

This is where you f'd up.

1. Listening to so called knowledgeable posters who have obvious bias.
2. Expecting a super deep athletic group who NEVER played together to translate into a team that can win many games. If you ever watched or played basketball you surely know above all else it is a TEAM game on both defense and offense!

Excuse me for expecting to beat bad teams. Excuse me for expecting to beat bad teams last year. Give Sha another pass. What will the excuse be next year? What was the excuse last year?
