Duke Postgame

Why should they care about embarrassing him? He embarrasses himself every night

How about all of the SU alumni, fans, etc who are totally embarrassed? How about us? Because at this point I am so embarrassed and ashamed of my school and what we have let happen to a storied program, and this goes back to how we handled Mike Hopkins, and getting Boeheim to retire. Worried about JBs feelings made a lot more sense though. But at this point a public announcement needs to be made that Red will not be retained after this season,

I'm with you, llandz. I feel and share your pain. I will never stop supporting this program on a high level but this is reeeeeaaaalllly hard at times.

Not one person on this board (that I know of) had anything to do with the loss so why should anyone be embarrassed? I get being frustrated, aggravated etc but I’m not embarrassed at all. Maybe I’m at that stage of grief where you disassociate from it all.

I'll let others answer this. I am sure a lot of us are embarrassed. It is our school. It does not represent my expectations at the moment. Frustrated also. But it is not a product I can be proud of and a poor reflection of a school I have given 25 years of my time and treasure in various volunteer board positions. It reflects poorly on Syracuse University that they put such a poor product in the national spotlight. I know it is a sticky situation if they should let a coach go in the middle of the season, but they could make a public announcement that while Autry will finish this season, he will not be retained for next season.

As if our latest round of humiliation couldn't get any worse... JJ's uncle chimes in. I can't believe that SU is going to let Autry and this staff finish the season out. Just a complete disaster of a situation that is only going to keep getting worse.

I’m loathe to put everything on JJ’s shoulders. No, he’s not an efficient producer. But he takes so many shots because he is the only player quick enough and versatile enough to get/create shots. We’d all like Kingz’ percentage, but Kingz doesn’t do enough to get more shot opportunities. I don’t think JJ is a chucker. He doesn’t take a lot of bad shots. He might miss them badly, but he works for those opportunities and takes open threes.

His inefficiency is a fault of the (lack of an) offensive scheme and a lack of foresight, insight, and execution. That’s on the staff. JJ should not be a first option on a good team. Unfortunately, Donnie doesn’t play like someone who is disciplined to recognize what he should do, Kingz isn’t consistently dynamic enough, George can’t beat his man…. All because it seems like the team just goes out and does what is comfortable, and not what is necessary.

I envision there is a secret weekly meeting with JJ’s uncle, Tommy’s dad and Judah’s grandpa. They sit around complaining about all the coaches and why their kids are the best

lol I’m sorry, but this guy is WRONG. Jj was what like 3-15 tonight? I feel like a solid 50% of shots that the guy takes. He’s just throwing the ball at the rim without even looking at it no matter where he is on the court. That’s not coaching, that’s the player.
