Message: [QUOTE="Mstumpy50, post: 5714721, member: 1627"] So call me a cynic...I can't help but think outside of the obvious loyalty to his former players/assistants that there is an additional reason JAB would prefer it to "stay in the Cuse Family". Something makes me think he envisions his "buddy" (JTB), as an assistant or maybe more at Cuse at some point in his lifetime and that is easier if an alum is at the reigns. Just my $.02 opinion. Now as far as BH vs. GM I guess you can call me lame or whatever but I was content with either of them getting the job. I am a believer that BH is a really good coach but not sure I think he will be the next Rick Pitino. He isn't perfect and some want to dislike him for an interaction with a player on the GW team that used to have SU ties. I can't envision him getting involved in that unless provoked by a player or coach so I would never say that should be the reason he doesn't become the Cuse head coach. I also think GM is a pretty good coach. If anyone thinks that it would be the same culture as it was the last 3 years on the hill, I strongly disagree. He is a leader of young men just like BH. I think he gets crushed by fans unfairly with the way recruiting was going when he was going head to head with Cal, Self, K, Roy etc. That was an unfair fight and it wasn't like Coach K was rolling Nolan Smith out there to square up with Cal for top players. Additionally, he is being penalized from the fan base because the most recent coach went down in a blaze but there was certainly no glory. It can only get better folks. Will Cuse ever be the teams I grew up with ('87, '96) or the best teams I witnessed in adulthood ('03, '10, '12)? Right now looks like no. However it certainly will be better than the last 3 years and even the end of the JAB era sans the sweet 16 team in 2021. Have faith it's what idiots like us still living in this upstate climate need to keep smiles on our faces! #LGO [/QUOTE]
