Because there’s this perception that JB chose to promote an unproven Gmac instead of doing a national search for a proven recruiter. He’s all in on Gerry, Red and griff and we still can’t recruit point guards or big men even when we have immediate playing time to sell.
I mean...I think that’s a “we’ll see”. They recruited Carey who lots of teams wanted. They recruited Goodine.
Washington. We’ll see:
In this instance, he's the one also coaching the guards. Let's see some progress on at least one front and I'll cut him some slack.
I don't want to derail the thread but I see the makeup of this staff and I'm sure I'm not the only one who is made uncomfortable by it. First thought that comes to mind is cronyism. Are these three the "best people" as our president likes to say? It's certainly more comfortable for Boeheim. These are guys absolutely loyal to him. But is it better for the program? And I know that it's been this way for a while but that seems to have also coincided with this stretch of mediocre regular seasons. There are no doubt other bigger reasons for this but this doesn't seem to be helping.
It was Hopkins, Red, and Gerry for awhile wasn’t it?
Murphy left around 2010-11 and Bernie a year(?) later? It’s not like the all SU staff is a new thing. We had that when we were rolling too.
