Message: [QUOTE="dcw914, post: 5266387, member: 6001"] 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: [LIST] [*]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. It’s like Red is coaching pre-season exhibitions still. [*]These dont feel like legit teams. Theres no chemistry. They look like guys who dont like eachother or want to even play together. [/LIST] 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. [/QUOTE]
