Message: [QUOTE="DJHAK232, post: 1692524, member: 5276"] A few things. The Bob Ryan/Globe thing was spoon fed by Gene DeFilppo to justify the firing. Towards the end of skinner, when cooley and all of his original assistants left, Skinner fell off. I don't think many were completely broken up over the firing, because it did get stale and the trajectory was not positive. Of course BC looks bad in retrospect because of this year, but the real root of the problem wasn't firing Skinner. Donahue took a large class his first year (which was a result of a large class taken by Skinner when he was there) and is now the cause of another large class full of Freshman. Donahue was also uninterested in recruiting and strength training, and the guys that he did have remote success bringing in, left. Ryan Anderson is a great example, he was solid at BC, but is a completely different player at UA this year having taken a year off to finally get stronger and rehab. [/QUOTE]
