There were 3 things that went completely wrong - JB staying too long, Hop not being the coach and then Oats not becoming the coach because JB said so. JB should have never had that much say in things when it came to what was next. He screwed Hopkins. He screwed the fans the last however long so he could coach his sons. He screwed the fact that Oats wanted to come here and was pissed that Buffalo ran them out of the gym that one year. Screwed us in recruiting by literally not even trying. The guy refused to text recruits. Let that sink in! Refused to get an iPhone to communicate with recruits because he literally didn’t want to!! Theres so much stuff behind the scenes that went on that I will never share, but that is one small thing that literally plummeted the whole program. Red is overwhelmed as being the coach. Hes not perfect, he may not even be good, but the players love him and he’s great in his position within the university and the community and those that know him can say that truthfully.  However, you are judged by wins and losses and you can’t lose this type of game. He wants to win too badly because he knows what it means, but it can’t get to this point. Even if you barely win so be it. You’re missing your best player, but shouldn’t lose to Hofstra ever.

But the spiral this program has been on can be blamed to one person and we know who that is. I hope some how this season turns around, but I wonder long term.. when red won 20 games with the misfits he had in year one, I truly thought he had it all figured out. I feel for him, I feel for us, but man oh man this has so many layers to it
