CEO's that do not deliver results for let's say 3 or 4 or 5 quarters are terminated, it's not about what shareholder value they delivered 3 years ago (or further) , there is no consideration regarding excuses provided, results are results, it's about yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow - how are we doing? - SU basketball is in a results oriented business where winning is everything.
Same old JB basketball, terrible, just keep playing Frank Howard and Oshae - time after time they make the same bonehead plays, take them out and put in Carey & Braswell - what do you have to lose? The results and body of work clearly state it is not working.
Regarding other statements on this thread:
We missed on the center position b/c since Rak left our centers have not performed nor scored points, you have to understand kids that are juniors were not watching Rak Christmas his senior year, at least 95% of them didn't, the handlers do not believe there are better options, they include us in the final 5, but we are not a true top choice, I mean just look at all the guys we have missed on, guys that are not even top 100 that we really tried hard to reel in. It is not for a lack of trying and it is not on the asst coaches, its on JB.
I mean we lose out on kids to lower level ncaa schools. It the HC period.
Someone mentioned on the thread about the coaches not standing up to JB. You are 100% correct, they do not say a word, if and when they have he won't listen to it.
Carey is 95% a goner, there is a small chance he stays, but highly highly doubtful.
Their is also rumors that there is good chance Bourama transfers out as well.
Recruiting is only going downhill until changes are made - Yes maybe we get Andre, but that's it - it's due to many reasons including these -
#1 JB - would you want to play basketball at SU watching our games the past 4 years?
#2 -JB - the unknown of who will be coaching my son. it is reasonable to consider, highly unlikely that the coach who is recruiting you will be there by your senior season, and he won't play you as a freshman, and the competition is in their ears on it.
For those that thought we were not going to win vs VA, that's ridiculous, every winning coach, player etc. should be going into a game with every intention of winning, and that's why the VA loss was so terrible b/c our guys gave-up, they were run off their home floor and again that's on the coach.
Got to love when JB does his weekly radio show and is complaining, to quote we need better kids - i mean really? Go do your job.
For those that believe it has been the sanctions, i disagree, we have never used all of our scholarships and JB has not been able to lockdown the best players, and when we had Hopkins inbound as the next head coach, meaning how much worse it will get this time around, re the unknown, not that Hopkins was killing it here recruiting either - he got a few kids, but was not reeling in the majority of talent nor higher quality talent..if you look and know the facts
Gmac has been not been successful recruiting, he has got what 3 guys in how many years? Duke did not want Girard. They pulled out and Michigan no longer was interested either. Doesn't mean JGIII won't be a heck of a player, but the results are the results.
Look at recruiting - which coaches brought in which players - it's a no brainer who is the best recruiter on the staff, i am not saying he or any of the other asst coaches should be the next HC, i think we need new blood, and must have HC experience.
CEO's that do not deliver results for let's say 3 or 4 quarters are terminated, it's now about what shareholder they delivered 3 years ago (or further) , it's about yesterday, today and tomorrow.
On a positive note, I will say i have extremely high hopes for BG & QG, ...but if JB does not play them or has the short leash, it will be JC all over again. Jon Bol is not ready, he is a project. Where is JG playing with Buddy on the floor? No matter who/or what/or when - JB is starting Buddy - no ifs ands or buts.
Buddy has a fabulous shot, but he is a liability on defense and is currently only successful when he has a window to catch and shoot. That's difficult when we run a "go" offense, give the ball to a guard/wing and go 1 on 1.
