About 24 hours ago, many posts on Internet have said Hodgeson is off board of Syracuse HC candidates. Although never confirmed by SU, I think it is true. Either he found a big bidder or USF has matched SU offer.Hodgeson - 2 halves. full game
He's always had an insanely high basketball IQ, guys LOVE playing for him, and he wants to win badly enough that he's not gonna worry about hurting a guy's feelings by not playing him. I also don't agree with folks who don't want to take the risk because the program's over if we don't get it right this time. It's the NIL age; a coach and team can be bought quickly. This is a special opportunity with some risk but a really high reward.Other than minimal time as a head coach, it would be refreshing to see what specifics his critics have regarding his coaching abilities. Just being part of the Syracuse pipeline doesn't make any sense as either a qualifier or a non qualifier for the job. In fairness to him, he definitely looks and conducts himself as a totally independent person with his own ideas and certainly his own level of passion he brings to his team. He also has a real emotional connection to SU which makes him unique, more than someone who is just chasing the $$ and looking for the next move up the coaching hierarchy.
This year they struggled with 3 pt offense and defense.
