Coach Search Options after Autry

[Irishsecra1]

Doty
Kingz
Kiyan
Sadiq


Seems like those are first 4. Need to get a PG and C

I would assume he will bring Folefac and Moesch.
Doty will be the player leader who will get in people’s faces if they don’t do the work.
He might think he can coach up George?
Same with Freeman, a really talented kid who lost his way and needs a swift kick in his ass.
But I imagine his biggest looks will be for a talented center or two, and an experienced point guard.
And not too many alley oops that turned into missed shots and turnovers.

Plenty will be rooting for that un-quietly

I don't agree with that at all. There's a big difference from being opposed to the choice and hoping he fails.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Doty scored 21 against Duke. A good part of the second half on a bad ankle.
Yet we think he is only good enough to be a role player?

3-12 from three?

We shall see.

 

[Acesn8s]

No. Opinions. About a coach who is going to Providence.

Say what u want but a vast majority of experts, pundits and fans think he is a much better coach than Gerry. I agree with them.

 

[JarHeadJim]

Bring in Hopkins as an assistant or GM

Jake already said that's not going to happen if GMac is hired.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

He played under JAB
He coached under JAB
He learned under JAB
All his assistants did the same

Why would you guys expect anything different than what Syracuse has been doing under JAB.

I didn’t see a Siena team that resembled Syracuse style JAB ball. It tells me that GMac is his own person capable of independent thought to develop his own program and play style.

 

[Newhouser]

Is the AD not supposed to make this decision for himself? That's what he's hired to do

Come on ADs get choices forced on them all the time. Especially a guy who's been here a week.
I think BB took gig knowing Wildhacks hoop folder was light on candidates.
He says I can do better. ADJW says good luck but remember the financials aren't the same for each candidate.
BB gets to work, finds some candidates, finds some $ realities.
Meanwhile GMACs agent says hey I'm not chopped liver. You need us. If we don't here from you by Monday I'm out and I'll win MAAC next year and you can call Jason Leone (no shot at him I know he has fans here).more making a point

Thanks to boeheim who once again has stuck it to us.

 

[VikesCuse84]

He bringing Weitsman’s $$$$ with him?

 

[Cuse1055]

thank you. i dont care whether people were for or against gmac being coach. but its said that i think some will quietly root for him to fail.

Hopefully those are the same people who claimed “they will no longer be fans” and can hit the road. Don’t let the door hit those people on the way out either.

 

[phil77]

3-12 from three?

21 points on 20 shots

 

[ezbeezy214]

My hope is that this is Dick Weiss just summing up what he’s been seeing in public recently. That’s what his last few tweets that have made it on here have been.

 

[Scooch]

LOL. I think GMac got the most out of his 5’10” frame.

The kid who won the PA state championship by scoring 60+

The freshman that hit 6 threes against Kansas to propel SU to the National Championship

The guy that put a mediocre team in his back to win 4 games in 4 days in the BET

All of the game winners and clutch shots he hit. All of the times he played 40 minutes and left it all on the court.

You can certainly criticize GMac for different things, but saying he isn’t a “winner” is definitely an odd take.

He was a clutch player. So was Robert Horry. What does that have to do with coaching?

 

[Knicks411]

Regular season in the MAAC is irrelevant. I suspect if they won the regular season but lost in the tournament finals there would be complaints about that, too.

I'm not going to begrudge anyone being disappointed, but I don't that's the fairest of criticisms.

You don’t think looking at their entire body of work in the conf as opposed to one weekend of games is a fair criticism?

6ft 7 245 for Folefac and he can’t shoot… meh. I’m a big fan of Moesch I hope he comes.

Really hope we get a stud or 2 because all the guys Gmac is bringing shouldn’t cost much - same with Kiyan and Sadiq

 

[Briancuse]

He bringing Weitsman’s $$$$ with him?

I thought the university didn't want anything to do with aw?

 

[Lukeyloo]

Those are MAAC-level players. The only player from Siena that should be brought over is Doty

 

[Tibbsworth]

Unfortunately SU lied about going outside the family. Bryan Blair isn't the AD he's just a spokes person.
JB is in fact basketball AD. Same ol' same ol'.

 

[tptcuse]

With the roster Gerry had, which let’s face it. Not the greatest. I think he could possibly do wonders here with the right players that HE wants out of the portal with sufficient NIL.

Doty and Anthony on the same team will be something.

 

[Cuse1055]

Yes and it wasn’t great

Good thing in today’s day and age recruiting doesn’t mean as much with NIL and it sounds like NIL will be high with Gerry.

 

[AZOrange]

Pete Thamel will break this not Dick Weiss

 

[Jasoncuse]

Assuming Kiyan will be around, we are looking at a very unathletic team, when we needed to get faster and more athletic than last year. And shooting already would look like a concern.

Hope other portal adds really add to the size, athleticism and shooting we’ll desperately need.

You didn't see a slowdown game making it a half court grind it out game? That is exactly what I saw. All the numbers say otherwise.

 

[Tango32]

This just feels so dam lazy... we really couldn't pull Martelli or Schertz if we went heavy and serious?
