Well, one—since you're all sensitive about this—i was asking about the NIL thing. I don't personally know. And as for me making it up, no, if you've been around, you'd have seen that discussed many times. If it's "made up," it's not me who made it up. So, again, i'm asking—is that not true?

Secondly... no, never mind. You've got your own 'fictions' swirling in your head. But, since i'm still in [I]questions[/I] mode, i wonder how you've come upon your "assessment of Gerry's coaching ability?"

I have no idea whether he is or isn't a good coach. I recognize turnarounds, but i also recognize they come with context. I think it's just as absurd that people assert that he's a great coach because of that one (half of a) game. Lots of flowery adjectives and bromides and catchphrases get tossed around, but they don't seem to have applied when they lost to Fairfield by 14 a couple of weeks earlier. Lots of selective stats and hyperbole. But, that's fine. He's ours. Amusing, also, how he's such a genius and outcoached Duke's douche, and then we hear that it was his 29-year old assistant who brained-up a significant component of the Duke game? Is that also "made up?" Again, just asking.

Since you must have watched a bunch of Siena games this and last year, i would love to know your opinion about Gerry's actual systems. Is he a good offensive and/or defensive coach? Because i haven't seen that affirmed. Only that he gets his players to "play hard." Amusing, sometimes, how the coaches are 'evaluated' and discussed in a forum like this. And how each 'side' thinks it knows their metrics and reasonings are the only valid ones.
