Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 1003304, member: 652"] Legit criticism is fair. I don't think JB should be removed like some idiots as he is Syracuse basketball and built the damn program from nothing more than a regular power to a national power. However, we freaking repeat the same mistakes year after year. Questioning why we only have 7 scholarship players getting action is legitimate. I don't get how you can recruit 12 guys and only expect to use 8 of them. You should care about the future, but only have 1 or 2 projects NOT 4. I get Coleman being out for the season hurt, but we had 1 3 pt threat and he wasn't consistent and killed our offense. I agree that Fair is a 2nd or 3rd option rather than a 1st option, but then where the heck did JB expect the help to come from. I didn't expect Ennis to be as good as he was I thought he was special, but again he was a Freshman and sometimes he is going to struggle. I agree a little with OP's point, but people saying because JB has 950 wins doesn't mean he can be questioned is wrong. Our teams regress historically over the season I mean if instead of going 13-0 in non-conference games playing 7 guys we would go 11-2 or 12-1 and develop 9-10 guys wouldn't be the worst thing. People want to make feast or famine comments like they are the only 2 alternatives. We wouldn't necessarily go 9-4 or 8-5 developing 2 or 3 extra guys 8-12 mpg game and having more options for January-March if some guys struggled. The program losing Bernie Fine working with the big men has hurt I believe. I think Hopkins will be a fine HC, but he is better served with the guards. We have 3 guard assistant coaches and our bigs haven't developed enough since Fab Melo in 12 and Jackson in 11. [/QUOTE]
