Player development??? Wake up...We are all fans of a different era that has passed. There is no player development now with rosters changing every season. this is the portal era and things are not as they used to be.
hard to feel sorry for college kids making 5x's my salary. my attitude now is "do yer elfin job loser !"
 
Yeah, that's why Butler made the Final 4 two years in a row so long ago. Because they literally had the best players and Brad Stevens just rolled the ball out. Get out of here with that crap.
Yup, need both
 
We may be better off letting the players sub themselves in and out of games then.
i'm not gonna get down on the hockey line substitutions cuz i know i used to hate it when other teams would have dudes lined up at the scorers table waiting for the next whistle. JB played 6.5 . didn't deviate unless there was foul trouble. our guys typically led the league (and nation) in minutes played. but i still believe fresh legs make a difference. don't save nothing. go all out til the next line change .
 
Coaching is over rated compared to talented players. Get better players and we will win more.
Dr Bill, I admire your passion for Syracuse athletics. Sometimes being a fan blinds you from the obvious. I love Red. Was one of my favorite players (wiho can ever forget the Missouri sweet 16 game?). But he’s in over his head. We need a change. We need to move on from the old guard. We will rise again. Go Orange!!

Yeah maybe if we cloned and got 5 Carmelo Anthony’s out there we will win more with Red
 
Is there another school in the country that hired head coaches for their premier programs with no head coaching experience? We did it with Red and Fran
Wildhack took the easy path no doubt. his ace up the sleeve was fan fave JB hadn't done squat for years either. a coaching dinosaur way past his prime. was given a way out but instead chose to wade further into the tar pit depths of the ACC. therefore no real drop off so to speak. just more meaningless mediocrity . who would even notice ? had a real search been conducted and had wildhack seriously thought about changing the down spiral trajectory of his program he would have hired a more qualified winner. young coach , new ideas , no school ties but a whole hearted commitment to bringing glory back to the dome. sorry red your damn straight loyal but you didn't bring no pop nor fizz. you flat. teams flat . so that's where we at. Dome needs some sparkle juice.
some magic. some energy some hope. bring back a parched thirsty fan base. uncork ...THE CUSE !

yeah, you need good players. If only we could get players like Hofstra and B.C. Coaching matters when your coach has no feel for the game. Red has none. Takes out hot shooters for no reason. So once again, you think he is doing a good job? Just say it.
 
So long as it was during the regularly scheduled line change.
They should install hockey boards so the whole line can hop over it - for added drama.
i know some people hated them but i always liked the old school arenas with the recessed benches. still a couple around. just adds a bit more danger along the sideline.
 
I remember all the justifications on retaining Red towards the end of last year - we’d lose recruits, we’d lose Melo’s support and his money, Red just needed time, yadda yadda yadda… It’s been very easy to not really care this year, because once it was clear Red was coming back getting to this point was inevitable. It’s a shame we had to crap away a year on an obviously lost cause for delusional reasons - but for all kinds of entirely political reasons apparently we had to.

The sad thing is leadership at Syracuse has spent 25+ years burning any credibility they have - so there’s a part of me that wouldn’t be shocked if Red was back next year. Him here this year was a stupid decision after numerous asinine decisions over the years, so I have limited confidence people in charge won’t just keep making stupid decisions.
If he's back next year then Wildhack has no credibility and no influence. Would be giving up on the basketball program for a long long time.

I have come to the conclusion that the posters on this site are just fans and don't know Shizit about basketball. Some of these comments about what you think a coach can or can't do relative to in game strategy is laughable. I pose this question to all of the so called hoops experts in the 315: Was Coach B.oeheim a good coach? If so, why didn't he continue to win big in the later stages of his career? Did he forget how to coach? Were the quality of players not the same? Did the changing landscape of College Basketball prevent him from making the necessary adjustments to remain successful?
