Coach Search Options after Autry

[dasher]

Okay, what would our record be with the team we have, with BH coaching it?

We'd be a tournament team.

 

[sufan59]

Was that end of half execution? Wow, you can do that?

Fighting for the double bye in the ACCT.

we would be in the dance, 7-9 seed

 

[djorange1989]

I don’t think we can execute at any point of any half

 

[23Zone]

Just hire BH, it's not complicated.

21-25 wins would be my guess 21 on the way conservative side. I would think we would be firmly in the tournament.

I really hope SU can hire Jay Wright. He will give Syracuse at least five good years. At least we can recover to a credible program 100%. Any other young coaches have different degrees of risk to sink us lower.

I’ve shared this once before. I know for a fact that Jay Wright is happily retired from coaching. He loves studio work. He is not coming back. That is from the horse’s mouth.

It is for Syracuse

 

[PeteCalvin]

Here's hoping.

But I'm not so sure, given historical precedent and recent reports suggesting that similar behind-the-scenes shenanigans are afoot again.

Did somebody say ‘Shananigans’?

I hate to be captain obvious but this would be us this year with Hodgson.

 

[GHLF]

If Hodgson ends up here. We are going to get serious talent. He’s a really good recruiter. We’ll see what assistants he gets too. He needs at least one closer on staff. If we keep ONE person on this staff I wouldn’t mind it being Straughn. He is a young coach and a really solid recruiter.

Also I’m good with getting rid of EVERYONE else. But wouldn’t mind if we kept Anthony (just perception wise would look bad if Melos kid transferred). Keep White as he’s an athletic freak ooozing potential with the right coach would killlll it. White is also a good defender, hustled and brings the energy which we need in this program. And keep Kingz if he gets another year. Everyone else, respectfully I’m fine if they leave

I very much agree with this, in relation to player retention. I very much trust Carmelo is aware of son's limitations at this level, I however firmly believe he can develop. You can tell he has definitely lost a lot of confidence and they are getting very physical with him as that is certainly in the scouting report. Stay in front of him, and he very easily can be bumped off his spot. He can definitely develop with some help and certainly strength. I do not believe Freeman is a viable option and I do not believe he can be primary in any way. More than likely unfortunate product of current system. He is not a three, and he unequivocally cannot defend at the 3,4 or 5. KA, SW Have significant defensive liabilities as well, however with the right coach, They can develop positionally if they were open, SW tremendously defensive potential

Watching this USF team make good decisions , be patient, and spot the right play even if it takes 25 seconds is a thing of beauty. I love how they rotate on D and clog the driving lanes anytime they can. You cant tell me the pedigree and style of play wouldn’t bring in big money with BH.

 

[cusefan88]

At least 6-8 more wins i think.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Nelson plays like we hoped Freeman would. He’s a grown man.

Wish he had another year

 

[qdawgg]

It's actually a great year to look for a Head Coach. Relatively little competition compared to most years. The question is whether we take advantage of it or just hire Hop

I mean, when you have someone like Hop available who no other school at any other level is interested. I just think you can’t risk losing him to…… nobody.

 

[phil77]

They are up 14 and best player Nelson diving on the floor that is the culture I want here at Syracuse

 

[phil77]

Wow what a terrible foul call there

 

[GHLF]

The favors come in the form of a paycheck. JW announced his retirement, he literally doesn’t care when he announces Red is fired. The school feels after the season ends is the correct time to go public.

We all know how this will end.

I do not agree with this, decorum, Loyalty, Thankfulness for service, recognition that this was a tremendously difficult place and position to be placed in given current climate, very many factors undoubtedly. I am not defending his coaching acumen by the way, however certain things must trump Ill informed public perception with significant volatility. Simply how Red has continued to maintain class, speaks volumes. It was pretty much doomed from the start looking back upon it for sure, sad. In conclusion he unequivocally, JW, that is cares about the timing for many reasons.

The play that we don’t make this year was on that missed three by Enis. Way short. But Hightower, instead of giving up on the possession, attacks and deflects that long rebound and it ends up with a teammate.

New possession, new shot clock.

We would have been in full retreat.

Not by accident. Hodgson preaches rebounding or you don’t play. A foreign concept here.

They play hard and aggressively non-stop. You are tired, you get subbed out, there is a talent drop off with some of the subs but not in effort.

I viewed it as supporting Red. I don’t think she should have gone out of her way to voice her opinion.

Regardless, my point stands that I could care less about her view on who the next coach should be. It’s not like they will be coaching together.

Doubt she needs an internet interpreter on what you think she meant other than what she actually said. Ironically her point was about disrespect much like your post regarding her.
