There are plenty of reasons to criticize JB, but this episode isn't one of them. He was absolutely right. Donna wrote a piece pointing out that some coaches owned JB, notably Pitino and Dixon. The paper did not, as you say, print his record against Pitino and that was a big part of JB's beef...

I liked BBBB when he was Orange, but honestly he hasn't done much to distinguish himself on the court. A pedestrian 35% from 3 last season, and less than 2 boards/game. He couldn't crack the starting lineup at Charlotte.

Came here for some world class bashing of former VU players and instead find myself thinking maybe the daily departure threads really aren't so bad.

Rollie did it a couple of times at Nova and Cleveland State. Massimino didn’t have much to say about the wholesale benching of his starters beyond noting that he did the same thing with his 1985 national championship team at Villanova in its regular-season finale. CSU punked by Butler

Everything in your post is 100% correct, but you're not taking NIL into consideration. The NIL market isn’t waiting. According to someone paying very close attention to Temple NIL values, as many as four of the six Owls in the portal have six-figure values on the NIL market. All have quite a...

Too late. The entire starting five and the first guy off the bench have all hit the portal. So far. Whoever takes the Temple job is starting from scratch.

He definitely has the ability to put the ball on the floor and make something happen, but to your point, it was usually a surprise when he actually did. Maybe McKie wanted him camped out at the arc. I couldn't say for sure. He certainly isn't afraid to mix it up with the big guys.

I watch most Temple games and go to a couple every season. I would say that's pretty accurate. He does have the ability to go off from deep. He hit 10 3's in a game last year. He also disappears sometimes.

My son is a Temple grad and follows the program closely. He says Syracuse is one of the teams to reach out. The source told The Inquirer that Hicks has interest from various Power Five schools with bigger NIL collectives than Temple.

The story.

Really? You think there was then (or is now) cause to fire JB? Saying stupid things isn't cause. And any 4th grader can edit audio files.

It's relevant only because it's another situation where members of the media and the lynch mob on this board were calling for JB's head. They were wrong then and they're wrong now.

And you have zero evidence that he did anything. Just like everybody else.

Your post is crap. Where is the evidence that Bernie did anything? Two of his accusers recanted. The other two were drunk on Outside the Lines and changed their stories multiple times. And don't get me started on Mark Schwartz, witness tamperer extraordinaire. The FBI investigated for two years...

Early front runner for sentence of the year.

He discussed it during his press conference. Nice job by MW and Syracuse.com to post this article. Here are a few excerpts: “Joe is not 6-11,’’ Miami coach Jim Larranaga said. “He shouldn’t be able to do that to us, but he’s very clever. He backed Nijel Pack in several times, drew two fouls on...

I thought it was Craig Forth.

Nonsense.

Brown reminds me of Moten way more than Bell does. Always seems to be in the right place. Not afraid to mix it up in the paint. Calm, cool and collected. Smooth and smart.

1998 — Is fined $10,000 by the Big Ten for berating referee Ted Valentine, whose officiating Knight calls "the greatest travesty" he had seen in his coaching career. I mean, I'd cut him a break on this one.

It's called hyperbole. Understandably wasted on you. I find it odd that you think Jay Wright is squeaky clean.

I hate Villanova. If I had my choice between seeing Calipari win 10 straight titles or seeing Villanova win a bowling tournament, I'm going Cal every time.

Couldn't agree more. I would add that Penn State was able to get all of their 13 years of vacated wins restored, all of their $60 million in fines refunded, all of their 40 scholarships (over 4 years) restored, their four year post season ban removed and their five year probation cancelled. How...

First off, I just did, so wrong again. Second, I'm not an actor at all and don't give a crap about your time.

BS. That's your myopic take.

When you keep doing something successfully over and over again, defining it as a fluke, miracle, improbable, lucky or unlikely is just dishonest. And lol at the truth squad jumping on this post to negate it.

Couldn't agree more. And great job by syracuse.com on these exit interviews. They've all been excellent.

Nonsense. This is a guy who threw a haymaker at Pearl that would have killed him if it connected. Those Georgetown teams were thugs.

JB was never tossed in a Big East game. He's only been ejected twice. Once in an exhibition game against St. Rose and the infamous Tony Greene Heinous Charge Call.

Well congratulations. Keep on dumping on kids. It's a great look. If it's the only broadcast you were able to find, you're not very good at this.

You're so far off on this it's ridiculous. They don't work for the team. They're students learning a craft. They are by and large excellent at what they do considering they are amateurs. I've been listening to them since 1978 and always find them enthusiastic and entertaining.

Not even remotely true. JB got a little testy at her characterizing JGII's game as pretty good. He thinks Joe's been great. She wasn't fazed at all and asked her question, which JB then answered in great detail. Didn't even move the needle.

1980s: 8 tourneys, average seed - 3 1990s: 8 tourneys, average seed - 5 2000’s: 7 tourneys, average seed - 4 2010's: 9 tourneys, average seed -4.5 Not arguing any of your points. But if you're doing decades, do decades.

Never. Sometimes I want to, but just can't. I can see it turning into a football or lax thing for me. I turn those games on with the sound off and check in on them while I do other things around the house. Haven't gotten there yet with hoops, but I'm well on the way.

He's out for the season. Broke his foot last week. He was having an AAC POY type year. Khalif Battle

I was at that game. We had it wrapped up and then Brian O'Connell gifted the game to Jay Wright. I worked with Jay the following Tuesday on a commercial. He admitted as much. I always assumed refs were basically honest until that game. Still pisses me off.

I took that as Pearl cutting him off so that Smith didn't incriminate Pearl. Pearl is several species lower than pond scum. I'm sure his players follow his example. If players want to talk that's fine. Whatever. Player to opposing coach or coach to opposing player is not. People making excuses...

Nonsense. Got to be Elvir.

Insinuating? No.

Couldn't agree more. Total trash. Apparently lost on many of our resident geniuses is the fact that they were dead wrong about Buddy for 2.5 years. I can only assume the same is true of their JGIII analyses. But hey, fat jokes. Yippee. Good times.

Wasn't that in Hawaii?

4 time champs. They have some players.

I remember JB reading them the riot act in two short sentences at a presser once when they were kids. He followed that up with a classic JB stare. Not a peep out of them afterwards.

Also flown by the Boys from Syracuse. Like her.

Got to agree with others about DC. I don't think the youngsters realize what a badass he was. Opposing players were afraid of him. Think about that. Hell, Rony was afraid of him.
