JB's Presser after ODU

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[Edfromsodus]

We love you Jimmy!!!

 

[tbonezone]

head coach should be able to tell you why his big men can't score. you work with them every day.
he shrugs it off with "i don't know". you've had these kids in the program for several years. ?.

 

[SURules]

Sad watching this decline but predictable

 

[tbonezone]

JB is ultimately responsible for filling the 5 position. if the players suck. then he sucks too.

 

[SURules]

Losing Mike Hopkins hurt the program more than many realized IMO and it’s showing. I don’t blame Mike either for leaving.

 

[tbonezone]

bridesmaid in waiting thing was a joke. JB wasn't going anywhere. Hop made a good decision.

"We don't box out in the zone. We play an area."
I've heard/read stories of him saying this, but never heard him saying it directly. Yowza.

I'm conflicted on his tone. On one hand, it was nice to see him handle it with grace and without 'indignation,' and on the other hand it seemed like a guy resigned to a certain fate and not caring so much about it. Hate to say it, but Buddy is our 'sentence.'

 

[tbonezone]

we had the superior athletes on the court. so why do we fall ? i'd guess planning and execution.

Hop was here in 15, 16, and 17.

 

[Ghost]

He should just have a button he pushes with a recording to answer every questions with, "we missed some shots, you can't miss shots."

Sort of. He was assistant to an authoritarian and his loyalties wouldn't let him challenge JB.

I mean even so it doesn’t really support the idea that we’re strugglibg because Hop left.

It might cost us with stewart but that is unknown

agreed . much like the fable. he could not tell the emperor his shirts just don't fit.

he was indifferent but i thought he did not look well either

Agreed. Mike was essentially pushed out. I respect JB for all that he's done at SU, but have zero respect for any man that puts himself above the program's welfare. He'll be remembered most for his last few years at SU. It's been painful to watch SU play the last 3-4 years, sans the tournament runs. Poetic justice I suppose, he's taking from his own legacy. I really, truly hope this opinion to be made wrong.

I disagree, he'll be remembered for 2003, but it should be Mike's program right now. I'd bet Mike has Washington above us by the time JB leaves.

We’re never going to get much offense from Pascal other than ft’s or an alley oop. His low post moves are laughable. Our offense as a team is so bad again if someone isn’t hitting shots were gonna lose.

Everybody says that, but with the exception of the Battle matchup I’m not so sure. OB performs like a decent 6th man on a mid-major and Carey only saw 9 min.

Hey JB did you guys practice this week? It doesn’t look like it.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Hey JB did you guys practice this week? It doesn’t look like it.

I’m getting anxiety thinking about that interaction after a q like that

I’m sure they practiced but this week was finals week.
