I thought the players hated him like Macaque's hate Punch?

You want a rumor - I heard William Shatner will not be able to finish the tour for his new release.

I told Althea Cuse bball was feeling lost
Lacking in some direction
Althea told me upon scrutiny
That our new coach might be Bryan Hodgson

I'll just say this... these are the exact same words used before we hired Dino Babers.

I agree with the sentiment, but let's make sure there is substance behind the marketing message. FWIW BH has a similar profile to Dino before he got to Syracuse. Before you say but but BH coached at Alabama... Babers was at Baylor under Art Briles before he go to Syracuse.

Not saying BH will turn out like Dino... I think BH is much more aggressive when it comes to recruiting, but it remains to be seen whether he can build a sustainable program. Dino never built a program before Syracuse and we found out he probably couldn't build one period while he was here. Again BH seems young enough and passionate enough that he will build something, but he will definitely be learning on the job.
 
Just a question for the group. Is the Dome conducive to an offensive system that shoots a lot of threes? I’ve been attending games at the Dome for forty years and it seems it’s not a great place to shoot threes. The one exception was the Virginia team that knocked down nearly twenty in a game a few years ago. It just seems that the background makes it tough to shoot. The new blue seats might make it easier. Maybe we’ve just had a lot of mediocre shooters. Even visiting teams with a history of being good shooters seem to struggle at times. The game has obviously moved to shooting more threes, so there must be analytics that could show if the Dome affects three point shooting percentages.

I think our defense used to be a big part of it. We’ve had years where we dhot the ball well. 39% in 2010. Wes, Rautins and Triche were all over 40%.

We shot 36% as a team in 2016 which was a very respectable number. That team lacked an inside game.

2017 we shot 38% we just didn’t play much defense.

The daddy ball team shot 38% in 2022, but again we played no defense.

I don’t see a lot of evidence we can’t shoot the ball well. We certainly didn’t have teams that shot the ball as poor as what MH Washington teams did.

My first reaction would be to say no difference, but I would love to see the percentages from different spots behind the line compared to CBB as a whole.

And also compare numbers over the years from some of the better 3 point shooters at home vs on the road. Again, I would think the difference would be negligible, but you don't know.

Higher upside than Hopkins.
 
There is one thing I don’t understand (well, according to my wife there’s a lot more than one). I can understand (while completely disagreeing with) Lally’s position. It’s all his money, as I understand it, he has no immediate connection with the team, and if SU struggles it’s really no skin off his nose. But Melo I have one major problem with. In addition to being (with JB) essentially the best known face of SUBB, he’s got a kid on the team. I can’t imagine telling Kiyan he has access to enough money to provide a strong roster, but won’t do it unless we hire his friend. That’s basically saying I love ya kid, but I love Hop more. What happens when top guys consider SU but go somewhere else for more $. Gonna make for some interesting conversations around the old dinner table. And how will Kiyan’s teammates feel about his father withholding resources?

Conversely if this is all about whose name is in bigger print on a building, why don’t they just whip ‘em out, lay ‘em on the table, and move on to what’s best for SU.
