I never cared for Baber's communication style (other than his locker room speeches after great wins - those were great). He wasn't a bad communicator, just corny as hell. More often I'd come away after listening to him and shake my head.
I wish he was good enough to be around 20 years but he’s not. It’s a miracle he gets a 3rd year let alone 20.
The best was thinking we could be elite in man defense. Truly when was the last time Autry was around man defense?
First step for that to happen is Selection Sunday next year and knowing our name will be called, not if it will be called or knowing it won't be called. Nothing short of that is acceptable.
What an original opinion.
JB was not smart at times during his pressers. He threw guys under the bus. Demoralized others. Many excused it because of his record, but that wasn't good - I just think back to Roberson. My gawd did he bury his "guy". Boeheim's main problem with the media was his stuborness and belief that he was clearly smarter than 99.99% people even when he made boneheaded mistakes.
Im rooting for the next guy to get 30. JB won a lot of games and got crap from the media for struggling to get past the sweet 16. It appears he had the right to gripe considering the media can get scolded for rightfully questioning the skill level of a team that couldn't even win 50% of their games in the weakest ACC in 2 decades+. Red was already coming up with excuses not even 2 hours after his terrible season ended in embarrassment
Literally forever.
I think JB’s case is petty straight forward .. He was a ass..but it worked .. Not sure when that happened as his first years I was not old enough … Look at the man though and I appreciate everything he did but he didn’t look like your typical hoops coach with the goofy glasses .. So he better have an edge and he did .. He didn’t get pushed around and if you listen to former players they respect the he’ll outta him but they kinda joke when they say “Boeheim did this or that”…. he won because had an edge and didn’t give a dam .. I find it funny that guys get Boeheimed but come back to the community and school … your players dont care if you have an edge with them but you better be honest with them … I get the vibe JB was …I know times have changed but I would rather have a coach with that edge …. also the change in everyone’s vision was JB starting Joe and letting KR leave .. I think JB showed more favoritism to Joe than Buddy .. Buddy was dam good and made us better.. KE should have started over Joe but he didn’t earn JBs trust
Red needs a miracle to survive next season.
Great way of describing the situation. Not a fan of it personally because it’s like are they truly that ignorant to how power 5 college athletics coaching is completely performance based? And add to that we are literally a top 10 program of all time historically… so like with that comes larger expectations… and you have the worst season in 6 decades. Not sure why an ounce of energy is being utilized to defend themselves. Start speaking about the future positively etc
Is he hinting that he's going to quit?
The university letting JAB talk unscripted for 18 minutes at the height of the Bernie Fine scandal was possibly the dumbest comms and PR move I have ever witnessed
I think the coaching has to be changed before the money will be there. That's what ADJW is not understsnding.
Lotta that going around these days.
In basketball. The 1961 football loss to ND was FAR worse. We was robbed!! Literally. The controversy went on for weeks (and years). I've gotten over the former (mostly); 2003 helped. I haven't gotten over the later and never will. My blood still boils!! 63 years later.
It's no way to live.Lotta that going around these days.
