Etan on Gtown game and Jb with roster

[Fat tire 13]

I sense some frustration in their comments and how they carefully word them

I remember 2 years ago after bad losses in NYC to Ok St and Penn St, Derrick Coleman tweeting, this is not Syracuse Basketball

The grumbling usually starts with fans, then former players but its the ones with the check books, the big money donors that will force change usually

There was also the story of DC coming into the locker room one game at halftime, and ripping the team a new one.

At some point, JB welcomed that kind of interaction and feedback from former players.

I wonder if he still does these days, or if he has tuned out those criticisms as well

Arinze Onuaku: "It’s totally different from when we were there because obviously, our responsibility was solely the paint area, so it’s odd seeing Jesse Edwards run from corner-to-corner. I know they switched the defense to the 1-3-1 [zone] at times and we know it’s the bottom man’s job to run corner-to-corner, but to have Jesse be that person, it does take him out of rebounding position."

Finally someone says this other than me and about 30 others on this board. Yea.

How many games have you watched where a team is playing aggressive D and the other team doesn't go to the line for the whole second half, NONE.

How many games have you watched where teams don't have the ability to drive the lane or feed the post and still go to the line a lot? NONE.

Standing on the Hoya's court and criticizing the program after a loss in which THEIR refs only called 4 fouls on Georgetown the entire second half is pretty low. IMO.

Lazarus Sims: "They were both great games, but we didn’t have a consistent true point guard on the floor who put everyone in the right position. I’ll go back to when they won the championship in '03. Many people will say it was 'Melo [Anthony], it was Gerry [McNamara] — but really if you go back and watch the tournament, when they played their best, it was Billy Edelin who was the key. He put Gerry in his right position, the 2. In contrast to this team, against Villanova and Georgetown, when they put Symir [Torrence] in — who is a pass first point guard — it puts your shooters and your scorers in the right position. It puts Buddy [Boeheim] at the 3. It puts Joe Girard at the 2, and allows them to do what they do best. What we’re doing is forcing the 2-guard into [being] a point guard, so the flow isn’t there. It lasts for awhile, but it’s not sustainable."

Z must follow my basketball board posting.

If Joe got to put up 18 shots a game from his natural position as a 2…..I’d be willing to bet he’d average around 25 points a game

 

[Col. Bleep]

It's good to hear the former players say these things but unfortunate that they speak the truth.

The failure to play Symir in the second half seems inexplicable.
It's a different team when he's in the game speeding things up and directing traffic.
It seems he's now playing the role Kadary did last season.

A peanut butter and anchovy pizza sure would hit the spot about now

There is no amount of weed I could smoke to make PB and anchovy pizza something I’d ever even consider eating.

I had a hard time choosing between the "Haha" or "Dislike" for this post.
Went with Haha due to its being so over the top.
Tough call however.

We need an “eye-roll” choice.

Well, what are these guys demands? Should JB be fired should he resign ASAP, does he get to coach out the season? They are saying he doesn't know what he's doing so I would imagine they want him gone.

Yeah, you’re right.

I take it back.

Ah, crud.
There’s no take-backsies on a Dislike.
My bad.

Just when I thought the Hulk was bad, I meet this clown show. Hmmm... couscuse, you work at the airport by chance?

I don't know about that, Comstock. With my med marijuana card, I can hook you up pretty well. Just come on down to Tampa for a night or two, I'll take good care of ya.

edit... by the way, if you can make it in the next hour, I'll be out back by my pool.

They are not saying that.
