You do realize GMac can’t sub himself in to play right? If he takes Siena to a sweet 16 then I’m on board but until then

I don't know if I could trust anyone from UConn to not come in as a Trojan horse to not intentionally deep six us even further. They still hate us even though most of us don't consider them as our rival.

Beyond odd comparison. JB made SU basketball. D1 sports are morally bankrupt. Everything JB was "caught" for is now legal and were pretty minor at the time. We can all agree he hung on too long, not the first and won't be the last to do that.
Was he an amazing assistant? He oversaw the demise of a once proud program and his best recommendations came from the coach who he deleveled a program with and a career 500 coach whose best years were at Virginia tech

When I started following Basketball it was in the 90s when Georgetown wasn’t as good and UConn had guys like Marshall, KEA, and Rip Hamilton.

“Amazing assistant” is very subjective. He was an assistant with the program during its lowest performance in the past 50 years.

JB + the Carrier Dome made SU Basketball. And “JB” includes the extension of credit for acquiring The Pearl, who contributed significantly, and then there was momentum.

Maybe the claim is that he should have quit in protest?
It’s all I’ve got besides willfully stubborn ignorance.

Delusional was one of the options I proposed. And if he was unable to look around at any point in the last eight or so years and realize things were going off the rails and he was the largest contributor to that - I’d say that qualifies as delusional.

Many do. First one was a total joke. Second we went through the Fab Melo stuff, but we also had a guy who spoke his mind and a school that didn’t help to punch back. Relatively easy target for the NCAA.

Agreed, but do not make yourself a target. And should have asked Coach K how to play the game

Really UNC. Roy gave the aw shucks stuff while the school fought tooth and nail for their phony baloney classes. Must’ve cost a small fortune.

The SU lawyers thought if we played nice they would take it easy on us. Meanwhile Bobby Cremins of all people helped do us in.

The Carrier Dome was huge, no doubt. Without JB, there's no Pearl and all the other success.

Since most of you who read this thread won't see it on the Siena thread I'll repost this here. Just in case anyone wants to compare. [I'll duck for cover.] P.S. they beat American University today.

I’m ok to say hire him if he takes Siena to a Sweet 16.
I remember people being high as a kite when Autry got his first real win against UNC then the next game we couldn’t beat bottom feeder GT. Let’s see some sustained success.

JAB did NOT want to play in the Dome.
He liked Manley better, and if it was up to him, we prolly would’ve kept playing in there.
But it wasn’t.
And we didn’t.
And the rest is history.

JAB thought we'd be lucky to draw 12k in the Dome, and it would be like playing in a huge aircraft hanger. As did a lot of people.
Nobody anticipated we would draw over TWICE that many for crappy early season games, and over 30k for Big East games.
Been seeing some old games pop up on Youtube. Actually makes me sick to my stomach seeing the atmosphere even 10 years ago compared to now. I went to the first game against UNC as an ACC member, and that crowd was still a bit tame compared to the ones like Duke. Compared to today's environment it would be the the equivalent of playing a derby match at the Bombonera.
