Moore and Freeman

[Scott11]

In the post-game presser, Red basically said he didn’t intend to start Jyare, but there was a “miscommunication” and then they just went with it anyway. I’d love to get the full back story on that one…

And I thought the game was humiliating. How could that possibly happen and why in God‘s green earth would he admit to that in a press conference?

 

[ssbriefcase]

Red is going to get himself fired over a one year player.

That flat out can't play the position, and Red played said position at a high level. This stuff is mind boggling

 

[BillSU]

For the love of God, give these kids all the minutes. Stop giving the undersized point guard and the injured center who cannot even be here next year more minutes than Moore and Freeman.

After watching the display that was SU vs MD today, I finally have to say Red was a very good player, but he isn't a very good coach.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Hang on, what was the starting lineup?

Are you serious?

 

[phil77]

Carlos/Bell/Freeman/Davis/Lampkin I guess by mistake LOL

 

[Fly Rodder]

Hang on, what was the starting lineup?

Lampkin Carlos Bell Davis Freeman

 

[Cuse99&01]

They had a full week between games. How can you not know the starting lineup? It’s not like someone got injured in the practice the day before the game and had to adjust on the fly.

Our GM was hired in June well after this roster was put together and was well regarded in the NBA with his talent evaluation. He's about the only thing that still has a chance of working out right at this point. Be smarter

so he has nothing to say to Red about PLAYING JC for 40 minutes?
He's just sitting back? Watching our best shooters/players stew on the bench? Embarrassing the program?
Is he signing players?
what in the mf'ing thing is he actually evaluating?
College ≠ pros.
A GM can't just be posting on social media and "evaluating talent".

 

[malpearl31]

Are you serious?

Skip ahead to about the 7:00 mark of the press conference video in the “Maryland post-game articles and videos” thread. I just about fell out of my chair when I heard his answer…

That's in the pros. Are you an idiot. Not all of it applies to college. This link describes his role

No way... Is this real life?

I wish I was making it up… go to about the 7 minute mark of the press conference video. Unfortunately, there was no good follow-up question before the press conference ended.

 

[CuseCPT]

Except the bench has not been short. Everyone else comes out except Carlos. It’s ridiculous.

That’s fair. He learned from the master of stubbornness would be more accurate in this case.

 

[hoopsupstate]

People can complain all they want about Carlos, but he is the only ball handler on this team. Did you hear Maryland’s coach? He said it out loud. Carlos is the only guy that can handle on the entire Syracuse team, and he’s correct. Choppa, Cuffe, and Taylor can not come close to running any semblance of a team. Our bigs were dominated today on both ends of the court. Bell should portal right now. He doesn’t want to play. He doesn’t show any desire to compete. Love Choppa’s energy, but he is very undisciplined and can’t pass to save his behind. He’s just as out of control on defense. He can’t close out. Neither can Freeman. People say you have to play the two freshman. How do you look at the other players with the way they compete on the defensive end? Red has to keep running guys in and out and hope someone competes. No one on this team deserves more time than anyone else.

 

[Fly Rodder]

… Westry and Starling too. Six guards on the roster and only one can be trusted with the ball and run the offense? That’s a fireable offense in and of itself.

Why didn’t Chance get a shot today? I almost forgot he’s on the team. He must be really limited since he’s come back. If he can’t see the floor, that tells us everything.

Worried we would be down by 50 instead of 40, I guess. Why not give him a try? Presumably he can dribble.

Red is embarrassing

I’d almost believe he was trying to get fired

 

[STEVEHOLT]

I get a visceral anger seeing 5 running around on the court like Jerry mouse minus the speed and craftiness . And I feel bad cause it’s not his fault. I’m not really angry with him. It’s who puts n and keeps him in

 

[Cuse99&01]

While it may be true that the listed players can’t run an offense…..what did JC do today to show he can run an offense. Being able to dribble doesn’t necessarily mean running an offense.

 

[Fly Rodder]

Remember the glory days when we had a SF like K-Jo who could run the offense if needed? Later years JAB would have tried to make him a PG.

He also talked about how Maryland ran Carlos down during the game. In addition to the many other reasons to sit him at times throughout the game, this would be a perfect reason. Especially when they were down 30 with under 10 min to play. Get the other guards experience handling the ball/running the offense…..might be useful for future games. There was absolutely no reason Carlos should have played all 40 minutes today.

The more I think about this the angrier it makes me, and I didn't watch the game.

 

[Red2003]

Luckily We really set the tone averaging a turnover a minute for the first quarter of the game.
