Gerry McNamara needs to be the next coach

[orlandoorange]

You're being generous.

 

[Cuse House]

You guys are crazy. GMac is a good candidate for the job here. Is he the best candidate? Not right now, but to downplay his accomplishments at Siena is asinine. BH being a better candidate doesn’t make Gerry a bad one because he is an alum.

Gerry handles himself well in every interview I've seen.

I think he's really worked hard to be able to present himself in a positive manner.

#15 Lehigh upset #2 Duke in the first round in 2012.
Not the same thing as #16 vs. #1 but close.
Anything is possible if they shoot lights out.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Honestly, Siena as a 16 taking on Duke is better than if they stuck them in the 16/16 play first four game. It’s a great chance for David to take on Goliath.

Could be. It comes across to me as genuine, quiet confidence, even though we all know how intense he is.

I have little doubt that he will have a long, very successful career as a HC. The timing just isn't right for him at SU.

maliq brown vs his recruiter gmac.

I believe people are down on him only because he is a Syr guy. They feel they got burned in house with Red so they want outside. I think we roll the dice on a kid who had turned a 4 win team into a 24 win team. 14-18 first year and whatever it ends up this year 24 wins plus. Good ball movement and tough defense. I’m good with that.

Why aim high when we can settle

You don’t roll the dice when it comes to a multi million enterprise like this.

The timing is perfect. The job is open and he is a Billy Donovan clone. I hope this dumbass Boeheim tree narrative isn't considered in the selection process. Having said that, if it's Hodgins or any other....I support to the end.

Sorry, Gerry is a Billy Donovan clone? Can you explain?

It’s a dice roll either way. There’s no safe hire.

Same kind of player, both tremendous basketball minds, both great motivators, same posture.
Hope that helps you.

 

[Jeremy L.]

What do we think of Gerry’s play calling?

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

Injuries this year make that a hard question to answer. Siena played their tournament with 5 starters and Jones playing 4-5 minutes a game.

Interesting. Like Gerry, Donovan served as HC at Marshall for 2 years, then accepted the job at Florida. Actually does have a potentially similar career path.
