I will agree that we do not have top 20 talent but that is not why we are mired in the bottom of our league. We have a coach who has no idea how to maximize the talent he has, whose culture is non existent, who seems unable to know when and how to use timeouts effectively and will never be praised for making great half time adjustments.
Outstanding talent can trump mediocre coaching.
But average talent and mediocre coaching are not winning much
This is where our program is at.

Unless Red makes vast improvements to his coaching style, we will be lucky to be a 500 team next year.

JW took a gamble hiring Red.
He should have done a national search but decided to hire in-house.

He should have picked Gerry but went with Reds seniority and better recruiting chops.
Just watch a Siena game and tell me who is the better in game coach.
And who has installed a never give up never surrender culture.

Last week they beat Quin by 9  who leads the MAAC with only one league loss.
They lost to Quin by 19 3 weeks earlier and were trailing by quite a bit in this last game.
But Gerry made some great in game adjustments, his kids dug in and played fantastic defense and they pulled out the win.

I listen to friends insisting that Red just needs to find kids with a better work ethic, kids who will listen. Well he picked most of the kids on this team. And he has made no effort to install a DART like culture.
