Not to single you out but I believe a lot of fans face this conundrum when it relates to JB, and sometimes it extends to their perspective of the team and program as a whole. A lot of the criticism seems personal in nature like they just don't like "JB the man" & his personality. This is fine, of course- everyone's entitled to their opinion. Where it gets annoying is when "JB the jerk" becomes, "JB the incompetent, conniving, and clueless HC, who is leading a flawed and ultimately doomed to fail program". Those two things are mutually exclusive- you can dislike the man, but you can't question his loyalty, commitment, and competency at his job. His record speaks for itself, whether the negatoids like it or not. And that doesn't mean that he's above reproach, no man is. But this idea that SU basketball is not only on the precipice of, but well into a death spiral of doom, is patently ridiculous, IMO. [/QUOTE]
