Red’s trajectory isn’t turning around with next years recruits. We are 64/67 P4 programs in NET. Bad coaches with amazing players don’t win championships. With the portal, no single player is bigger than the health of the program. Blow it all up and bring in a winner.

Who was the coach at UW before Hopkins? Great recruiter but was really meh where it mattered on game day.

Red will get next year because of Melo
Expand...

Serious question if Melo truly wanted what was best for his son and his son’s basketball future why would he want Red to coach him? Now we have so much tape from Red being a head coach there is nothing we can point to and say “See Melo bring you kid here and Red will coach him up and get him ready for the NBA”. If I was Melo and wanted the best for my son I would be calling JW asking for him to show Red the door.

Actuallly, Georgetown is looking decent this year, and has a very good freshman big.

Georgetown, while not very good, is a lot better than us this year. They have some solid players and a good starting lineup. Sorber will destroy us.

I just watched the press conference and Red's reason for going with Carlos for 37 minutes was "he is our only ball handler." Good lord.

If we're going to have the the year it looks like we are going to have, it's possible key existing players portal at season's end and some incoming recruits will decommit.

That would make Red a dead man walking.

Wildhack may have to make some decisions earlier than he would have hoped.

Red has no clue

Even if that’s true, whose fault is that?

Second, Carlos can’t handle anything. He gets the ball knocked away or stripped far too often and has no ability to beat his guy off the bounce or do anything with it. I don’t want to rip in the kid, but he doesn’t belong anywhere close to this level.

37 minutes!
 
Red had the best ACC conference record 11-9 in 10 years in his first season. Granted, the team looks bad this year, but I do think Syracuse needs to build the core of the team through HS recruiting, not the portal. The portal should be for adding pieces, not for a roster overhaul. If you heavily use the portal, you have to rebuild almost every year.
 
Red isn’t getting fired anytime soon even if we win 10 games this year. This is Syracuse University we are talking about they pinch every penny they can for as long as they can. Regardless if having a winning basketball program brings them more money from a lot of different avenues they still don’t care. You have to spend money to make money. Syracuse University is like playing poker with scared money that’s their philosophy with athletics.
 
One terrible year is not automatically the death of a program. The troubling thing is everything has taken a step backwards from last year, and that was supposed to be the dysfunctional year. Focus on developing players this year and improving in game decisions. A winning record is our absolute ceiling this year so it’s all about the future

Interesting off years for blue bloods. Something to remember if/when we bounce back

UNC - 14-19 in 2019
Kentucky - 9-16 in 2020

Of course those schools are a higher caliber, but more of a reminder even the best have an off year.

i want to know his definition of a ball handler. is it a guy that can simply not get the ball stolen ?? JC literally gets pushed back on EVERY P&R that resets our offense every time.

surely every single player can do at least that.

Haven’t posted here in a long time. I try my hardest as a fan to not overreact to things and to be patient. However, I think I can no longer be patient with Red. I’m sorry but I need to see SOMETHING to feel like he as a coach and this program are trending in the right direction. Outside of recruiting, there’s barely anything I think he does… well. Theres been good moments but only a few. Like this is all a fault of coaching to me:
  • Constantly start games slow and get in a hole
  • Almost always playing down to the level of inferior opponents
  • Rarely look in the same weight class of basketball as top 25 teams
  • 0 and i mean 0 identity on either end. Arguably my biggest concern, this team looks like they just go out and play pickup out there.
  • Seriously this team couldnt defend high schoolers. They genuinely look clueless, its maddening and somehow worse this year than last.
  • Bad energy always, other teams simply play harder for longer
  • Barely run any offensive sets, minimal movement
  • Poor roster construction. Sure we can blame some on NIL but someone has to take blame for banking on Naheem at C last year and JC at pg this year and sorry but thats red
  • Awful out of bounds plays
  • Dont see much improvement in players themselves. More guys have regressed or not improved than vice versa
  • AWFUL AND ARBITRARY rotations that seemingly have no rhyme or reason
  • These dont feel like legit teams. Theres no chemistry. They look like guys who dont like eachother or want to even play together.

I want to believe in Red and getting this program back on track. I know its year 2 and i know he’ll get a year 3 regardless. But i need a reason, need to see something to feel like we can get this program back on track. Someone please tell me why i’m wrong and convince me otherwise. I can be sold pretty easily but i’m just not seeing the light at the end of this tunnel. I am desparate to have syracuse be good again, its one of my few loves. Go cuse.

Great post. I'm with you completely. I like Red, but his coaching reminds me of Derek Fisher when he was coaching the Knicks. Always seems bewildered.

Red if he is your only ball handler you should resign or be fired for your gross incompetence in having only one ball handler.

PS Red, Carlos is not a ball handler, nor is he a scorer or a defender
 
Clemson lost a ton and are about to take down UK. We just need a competent coach in this week ACC and we'll be OK.

Outside of PG I don't think this roster is that bad and I'm not even sure the options at PG that don't play aren't servicable.

I think you’re gonna jinx them. The ACC got rocked tonight.

He may have gone back to do that. But why did he go over and talk to Moore instead? Was he not happy that Moore just held the ball with seconds to go?

Wondered the same thing. It was weird like he was mad about something.
 
By the way peeps. Notre Dame has lost 5 straight. They got trucked by 21 to a good but unranked Georgia team. Also a 7 point loss to Elon.

You think you got gripes about Autry and this team right now. Wait til that first ACC loss comes to a bad ND team.

Or maybe they win a few in December and click a little so they’re at least watchable.

ND’s star PG Markus Burton got injured, so they’re struggling right now.

It's the end of the season, you have Anthony coming in with JJ and Moore here and Red can only choose one, who do you think he picks?

That's why we won't be good.

I might be thick, is your question which of those three he keeps on the team, plays or something else?
