Seems awful weird to continue to admonish a player publicly when said strategy is clearly not working.
No this is where I ask you a question where you don't answer because you can't defend him and look like a human being.

I think the style of the coach and the culture of the Nova program are the predominant factors.
You're right. Philadelphia is a professional sports town.
College BB is covered, of course, but it's small potatoes in our community. If a kid wants major league media coverage, he should play for Syracuse University.
What would you suggest? Ignore him? Accept it?
What's that tell the other players? That it's OK to dog it, to mail it in, to stop trying?
Ooh ooh. Do me next!
Have no problem with anything JB would say behind closed doors, what's the point of trashing him in the press for 4 straight years?
I could be wrong, but I don't think Townie watches Family Guy.
I think old episodes of The Rifleman are more his cup of tea.

Any reason why every other thread is consistently dominated by one poster? Is this ok to do now?
I was with you up until your last sentence.
I read the Washington Post everyday and the NYT on Sundays, and I rarely see SU even mentioned. Three of Villanova's players are from DC.
It's a pretty, relaxed campus and it seems close to DC (3 hrs). It's just up the road.
I grew up in Princeton which is midpoint between PHL and NYC and we got all the PHL channels and I worked in Center City for a bit, so I understand the place. I have been to many, many games at the Vet, the Spectrum, the Palestra and Schibe Park so I think I get the Philly sports fans, who are in a special category.

I guess I wasn't clear.
In CNY, Syracuse Basketball is major league. It is the biggest game - or institution - in town.
That is not the case with Villanova BB and Philadelphia.
With the Eagles, Phillies, Flyers and 76ers - not to mention Temple, Penn, St. Joe's, LaSalle and Drexel - Villanova sports, including BB receive peripheral attention from the media.
Philly fans are much more interested in their sports franchises than a Main Line college program.
Villanova BB is not at all to Philly, what Syracuse University BB is to CNY.
If a kid wants to be "king" of the community, he should come to Syracuse.
That's the point.
Yeah, it's bad when someone dominates the conversation.

I once listened to a radio call-in show after an Eagles game as I was driving from Princeton to DC on a Sunday afternoon.
After listening to the host and the callers criticize everything about the team for 30 minutes, I was shocked to learn that the Iggles had WON THE GAME!
You just described the Lacrosse Forum for the last two games.
Considering I speak on a wide variety of subjects and your posts are strictly defending JB it's quite telling about post counts.
Don't you think that if TR thought he was being so mistreated his 1st year, or his 2nd he would have transferred? Or after his 3rd, Maybe he thought that the kudos he got from people after the NCAA last year meant he had turned the corner. And many here thought he did but his play greatly regressed.Have no problem with anything JB would say behind closed doors, what's the point of trashing him in the press for 4 straight years?

So my 3500 posts are all defending JB?. The reason you think that is because when we engage it's almost always in response to your trashing JB. And I don't like that.
I'm a counter-balance on here to the JB-haters and whiners. Think of it as a public service.
