GMAC / Blackwell / AO to Siena

[FloridaCuse]

Well, I don't think they win the championship without GMac's 3 point shooting. That's just how I see it. Just like I don't think Indiana would have beat Cuse in the 88 NC without Alford.

Matt Gorman got a ring, right?

is it wrong to not care if Gerry leaves?

Publicly? Probably.

88?

I remember the 1987 game...

Wasn't there an 88 game where we crushed them pre-season tournament??/ I remember being out and watching them kill it on TV. I was loving it!!

Someone mentioned that we could get someone connected to Montverde Academy.

Their head coach is regarded as the best HS coach in the country. Maybe an assistant?

Or Jeremy McNeil's blocks or Edelin's point guard play or Craig Forth's solid defense or Warrick's post play or or or...

GMac may be a great coach. He may even be better than Red. Your reasoning, however, is more than flawed.

Again, the reasons you're not an AD are clear.

Siena will pay up to make the hire

So what are you saying?

So what are you saying?

I said I think it makes a lot of sense. And will
Leave it there

I took a $100K paycut to move from NYC to Syracuse 20 years ago. Difference in lifestyle was worth it.

Difference in mortgage/rent worth it too

Would seem like a good resolution for both Red and Gerry to part ways. I'm sure Red knows that and despite being friends and colleagues with GMAC, something he has to think about anytime the team struggles. Clean break where they can both go after their goals.

I had a boss who used to tell me “it’s you and me…until it’s you or me”. Which is frankly how business works.

Always risky working for a friend; there’s a non-zero chance the friendship isn’t going to survive.

When Sherm, with his back turned and crouched over, hiked a pass between his legs to Stevie on the other side of the court for a slam dunk! I was at a bar watching it with a bunch of friends at home, Thanksgiving Break my senior year. By no means did it erase the hell of the 87 title game, the worst sports loss I have ever endured as a fan, but man was that team athletic and showing it that night

Boeheim: Gerry McNamara would be 'a great, great coach at Siena'

Jim Boeheim endorsed Orange associate head coach Gerry McNamara, Boeheim's former star guard and assistant, as the right man to fill the Saints vacancy

“Boeheim didn't answer directly when asked if Siena has contacted either McNamara or him.
"I'm sure they're doing all the stuff they have to do," Boeheim said. "I'm not going to talk about what they're doing. I'm sure they're doing everything they have to do. But he's a great coach I think he'll be a great fit, so we'll see what happens."

Or JB is lobbying on behalf of GMac, but I hope you are correct.

What’s great is how our players ran the court back then expecting a quick outlet pass for a transition basket. Players will run the court if they know they’ll be rewarded for it.

 

[SmilinBob]

I agree with Jim, GMac is going to be an excellent HC.

 

[bigmike]

Someone playing the long game and betting on themselves.

It ain’t punting from the 38 on 4th and 1 - that’s for sure.

GMAC has been the lead recruiter fir a Gilhool. I hope it doesn’t hurt us if he leaves.

Good, he’s a more skinny Carey.

I was at my parents condo in Florida. I jumped so high I nearly hit my head on a ceiling, which if it had been on, I would have been decapitated!
