JB on ESPN2 talking Red

[cali315phan]

This has already been proven false by many respected insiders here and off this board as well. We are in the middle of the pack of a very competitive conference. Aka, we should have absolutely made the tournament and maybe even won a couple games this year in march.

Right. You're telling me Stanford, Boston College, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, Pitt, Florida State spent more than us? I'm not buying it. This team didn't suck. We went toe to toe with Houston and bear Tennessee. This team gave up, and that's on the coaches

On Cuse sports talk JB said that since GMac is at Siena he's outside the family.

Technically more outside the family than the last 2 coaches!

And the players, players should want to win

we didn't have $8-$9m of NIL. and jb hasn't been fundraising for NIL.

Then what did we have?

 

[SUFan44]

$5M. The $8-$9m includes the revenue sharing.

I think when you're talking about roster construction, $8-9M spent is enough to put together a team that's better than 15-17, 6-12 ACC & a first-round exit.

People use the terms NIL & revenue sharing interchangeably.

Donnie and J.J. had bad years...

It is on the coach to figure out what to do to get his two best players to not have a bad year.

That is why Red is losing his job. Look at this team and how they were playing at the start of the season. We held in close/won against some solid teams.


The team regressed over the year and regression is on the coach.

My jaw dropped when JB went from saying we had two top players with bad years and that’s why we stunk this year (not Reds fault) to … GMac going to the big dance, and he did it without his two best players. I love JB but sheesh.

JB says things to fit his view of the world. His view of the world isn’t always right even though his ego believes he is.

JB is our Aaron Rogers. Smartest guy in the room...just ask him. I stopped listening years ago and it's lazy that Infanti and others trot him out there as if he's some sage wise man

 

[rocklloyd]

I wanted Red and crew to be successful especially since I got to know Griff on the golf course a little bit. I wish them all the future success someplace.

Now is the time to make the complete break from the JB family tree. Yes, I fully admit i did not appreciate him enough while he was here but his last few years with “brother ball” were brutal for me as a fan. He’s a hall of famer but the college landscape had changed. He was not prepared for it nor was anyone on his immediate coaching family tree and here we are.

Heck, I;m not even sure I’m prepared to like what college basketball is turning into, but whatever, we’ve beaten that horse to death. if we can get our mojo back in basketball and football I’ll be a happy dude. I dont need to see the sausage being made as long as we have all the correct ingredients and the people who are willing to assemble it.

I think you just described every human ever, including me and you and everybody here.

Boeheim should be part of the Iran operation. He’s very good at communicating
