Message: [QUOTE="Orijinal, post: 4187896, member: 2359"] This side of the forum is just miserable. All of you sling JB around like he hasn't gotten been to 2 Sweet 16s in the last few years, and was in the final 4 in 2016 Your point of views are [I]very[/I] one-sided, and never express the full picture. It's garbage. And I generally like and agree with some of the posters who are expressing these things. But some of you keep calling for Benny Williams to play and he couldn't even make a basket up until 2 games ago. And then you constantly rag on Joe G. What's his scoring average? 13.3/game. 40% from floor. 40% from 3. 90% FT. Who else should JB play? Torrence? He can't make a bucket. Richmond? He's gone ...and by the looks of it JB made Richmond who he was, and it was a foolish decision on his part to leave the program. 9 pt average, 40% from floor, 35% from 3. In his [I]freshman[/I] year at Syracuse, his FG% was better, and his 3 pt % was about the same. He would have done himself a huge favor by staying. He's only averaging 3 more points a game ...at Seton Hall for goodness sakes And then y'all say JB just plays his favorites, and it's nepotism. Goodness sakes. Buddy deserves every minute he has played. You say JB over-invested in him in his freshman year, and he should have sat. Thank God JB didn't sit him. Because he was right to play his son, who by the way is a high character kid and is very well spoken, and carries this team most games. This thinking is just asinine. But we got a mob mentality out here, and everyone is just looking for a lynching Jimmy B? What can't he do? He has made big shots on the inside, and can make the 3 And don't you think some of the losing lately can be attributed to having your [I]best[/I] inside presence injured for the season? Edwards was coming on strong and got hurt at absolutely the wrong time. Doesn't this have [I]anything[/I] to do with it? Anyone? At least be balanced in your criticisms. Tell the full story. Most of you should be in mass media for the one-sided angles you try and sell. Does JB deserve criticism? Absolutely yes. Without a doubt. Recruiting should be better at this point, the program shouldn't be on the bubble year in and year out, and Syracuse shouldn't be a mediocre team in a bad conference ... ever But be balanced in what you say. JB doesn't need to be fired. He should coach if he wants to coach. There's a good class coming in (maybe not stellar, but good), and if players who are currently on the roster don't make foolish decisions, then there is something to work with. Man, I've just had it with the absolute negativity and constant trashing of Boeheim on this side of the forum. Absolutely every thread is a dark read. Everyone is like "there is nothing redeemable here! Throw it all out! JB is an awful coach!" And it's absolutely senseless and irrational [/QUOTE]
