Okay...I thought about posting under this topic...now I will.   Joyce has the right to her opinion.   Obviously, I knew a post like this from her was forthcoming. 
 
First off, best of luck to Joyce's friend, Ray.
 
As to her other points,  I certainly think my opinion is valid.     One thing I'll say is that she's friends with the Boeheim's, so of course, she's going to go to bat for JB.
 
To her points:
 
1-3)    I am aware that it's basketball-first for kids.   But isn't there a supervisory responsibility here?   If #51 was given 2nd and 3rd chances...shouldn't he also have been given  a shorter leash?   How about a strict curfew?   Or is going to Chuck's mandated.   #51 is selfish and immature but after the first suspension, he should not have been allowed to play unless certain academic parameters were followed.   The ball was dropped, that's for sure.  
 
4) I have not much to add here.  JB did a good job keeping the team focused on the court...I never said he wasn't a great coach.  It's his laissez faire attitude about what his players do off the court, as Jake put it, that I am critical about.  
 
5-6)  Again, best of luck to Joyce's friend.  I don't take this stuff too seriously,  I post on a message board.  It's not my life.  It's an interest I am passionate about.
If we cannot give our passionate criticisms of our coach on a message board, where can we do so?
