Coach Search Options after Autry

[Irishsecra1]

Just out of curiosity, how many have watched Siena in the MAAC tournament?
His team does not look like the SU teams of the past 5 years.
They play smothering defense, actually have ball movement, have not one but 2 oncourt leaders and their best player routinely goes to the floor for loose balls.
The only thing that resembles SU is playing only 7 players.
But that is because with multiple injuries they only have 7 scholarship players.

Win or lose they are fun to watch, like SU used to be.
And what I believe USF is currently.

Then why didn't Jim make Gerry the Associate Head Coach? Surely, he knew how that would factor in to the transition.

JB didn't think he'd be leaving any time soon.

No Kiyan today, officially out. Methinks he has played his last game in Orange. Not that it matters now anyway. Best of luck to him.

If I had to guess he may be playing 3-4 different jerseys before his college career is over...

He wants to start and have something built around him. That's not here.

If true, would that mean no Hop?

Not at all- he’s a leader and commands the room with how he approaches things. It stands out and it shows up with what he gets from his kids on the court including that they all show up as leaders on the court too.

100% agree

Hodgson could say anything and we’d all being going nuts for it

I honestly think the university, and whatever egos existed in the administration, wanted to distance themselves from Boeheim's legacy after forcing him out. Choosing Red makes it look like they tried to respect the coaching lineage but it actually did the opposite because they deliberately snubbed Jim's choice of successor. It was a slight against Jim for whatever selfish political reasons existed at the time. University administrators aren't exactly known for making fair decisions.

Believe whatever you want. But, the decision to promote from within was a shortsighted attempt to honor JB's legacy.

I mean the only local team playing for a ticket to the NCAAT.
