Message: [QUOTE="CU44SE, post: 3766660, member: 2196"] IMO it is 2 completely different things. People are not starting to call for a new coach because of just this year. People were starting to call for a new coach because as someone else stated, we spend in the top 10 expenses in college basketball and the results have not been there the last 7 years. It’s the worst 7 year stretch in Jim’s History and it didn’t look like it was improving. Yes, you can say no one made the tournament last year but Syracuse was looking at 2 consecutive years and 3 out of the last 5 years not making the tournament. Now to this year. It was even more frustrating because Jim was trying to fit square pegs into round holes. Marek is not a center, but he would not play anyone else. Joe was really struggling and kadary was outplaying him but wasn’t ready for 20 minutes. Jessie gets some time against Miami where he played fantastic and then didn’t play for another 3 games. Then he is brought in against tech after foul trouble by marek and has gotten substantial time ever since. Before last Monday we had 1 quality win against teams that were near the top of the ACC. I agree that we are now playing some of the best basketball we have played all year. This past game the hero ball stuff stopped and the ball movement led to catch and shoot opportunities which we thrive at. People can spin it however they want. I just think it is interesting that the best stretch of basketball we have played all year is since the bench got deeper, not shorter. If they want to say that was Jim’s plan the whole time I could care less. Ultimately the only thing I give a damn about is Syracuse winning. That’s why I’m here, and I think people forget that. They assume because we question we want to see bad results and we want to be right. When I question things it’s because of the results. If things we’re going the right way and we were winning then their wouldn’t be anything to complain about. But when your losing games and the same thing is happening over and over again, something has to change. And even though some of you don’t want to acknowledge it, the team has improved since the bench got deeper. [/QUOTE]
