Late coach’s values continue on with upstart Bulls

More interesting nuance to the coaching perspectives of a leading candidate

Hodgson is young by HC standards, even younger than Gerry. Thus his attitude and mindset is going to evolve as he learns. This sounds like a coach continuing to grow and learn to me. I’m willing to bet a number of extremely successful coaches could have rubbed people the wrong way at the age Hodgson is. It’s how you learn and progress as much as anything.

I think people are giving Gerry a little too much credit at Siena. Not saying that it’s not impressive what he is doing. But 2 things immediately to consider:

1- Siena is the best job in that conference. He has some of the best resources, fanbase, and facilities in the conference.

2- Couple coaches have had great success at Siena and faltered when they left for bigger jobs. At the end of the day, it’s MAAC basketball.

Why I like what Hodgson has done at 2 stops now at two entirely different levels of basketball.

I am not down on Syracuse. I love Syracuse. I am just realistic from what I am hearing from people that do know. It really is that simple. As a matter of fact, I haven't posted 90% of what I have been told because 1. I don't need the aggravation from people who don't know what I have been told and they attack me for it and 2 I don't want to drop any neutron bombs on the board.

Dasher how does or what does he run offensively. Is he our same offense now or is it different. What is his best quality as head coach. If this is all answered properly, I would have 0 issues with him here. Just don’t want the same boring offense. Tough defense with grit and can u imagine o coaching Kyle up in the middle. Damn.

What? Can you clarify this? Top 25 in all of D1? In what categories?

In 2025 they were the #25 most efficient defense via synergy and kenpom and #1 in their conference

they have also have finished #1 in their conference in defense efficiency the last three years.

i wasn’t exactly right but do you see my point ? watch the video it’s interesting if you like X and O’s

Honestly maybe for some it would be explosive but I find it hard to believe a neutron bomb exists given the state of things. Outside the school basically bailing on making hoops a focus and chasing football success with the hope one day hoops might follow nothing else , maybe not even that, would be all that surprising given the madness we live in with this era

I can see him in the running for BC. Irish Catholic boy well known to their fan base. Louis Orr did something similar from Siena

I said that and everyone said it would be lateral for Gerry.
