Coverage Was Disappointing ?

[atlanticuse]

Coaching isn't easy.
Red didn't blow up in any press conferences.
The team didn't make national headlines for doing anything stupid.

I hope that’s not the Orange standard now.

Could it be that he was commenting related to there being little to no mention at all that Donnie Freeman , the 2nd leading scorer was out for the season during any broadcasts? I heard about other team’s players during games who were missing because of injury. Same with Moore. There also was little preseason nor in season coverage of our new players whether freshman or transfer players. I don’t recall those “get to know” them articles, videos we used to see until the portal player transfer articles just in the past week to 10 days. It used to be a hot topic every preseason - getting to actually know our new players.

Yeah, our season had nothing to do with no get to know stories. He might get more stories like that if he was more open to the press. He doesn't return phone calls and is very difficult to work with. And then he puts blame on them.

It’s disappointing that at all places, Syracuse, where we pride ourselves on the communications school, that we have any leaders in our athletic programs that take a closed off approach to media. Anyone have anything to suggest on reasons why we’re taking a limited availability approach?

Watching college basketball today, I feel deflated.

My entire life, this has been the most fun sports timeframe of the year for me. But this year, I can't believe our season is already over.

Can't wait until we're playing meaningful basketball again.

Everything that trickles out that describes Reds decisions and manner continues to paint a picture of someone who won't be successful as a HC.

Sounds like another A+.
Might have been a great player, but what a failure as a coach.

Its like he wants to get fired….

No. He was tired after a long day and a longer season and he isn't exactly great at those things anyway. Why we don't use Newhouse to work with these guys, I will never understand.

Is he? There wasn’t a ton of player development when JB was checked out and he was running practice. Buddy and Jesse are big exceptions to that, But JB’s in game coaching may have masked the lack of development over Red-run practices.

And Buddy was mentored by GMAC.
Not sure who mentored Jesse?

We haven’t seen good basketball in YEARS.

Watching other teams all week, especially the past two days, with shotmakers, athleticism, defensive intensity and good coaching just has me so jealous. Knowing we won’t be close to that anytime soon hurts even more.

We certainly could be close but unlikely with current staff. Overall I agree.

Been some extremely intense games this week as expected. Our games feel like a morgue.

Here's a fun question

When was the last time it felt like we had the "Orange standard"?

 

[CarlsbergMD]

I'm done with the crowd that wants a HC with a connection/alum to Cuse...There's going to be a segment of this fanbase that wants Hopkins or GMAC as the next HC...I want no one affiliated with the program to be next HC...
