Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1298419, member: 289"] First hour: "Coach, I’d like to con graduate you and the team on securing our 16th win and thus assuring that our streak of consecutive winning seasons at 45. UCLA has the all-time record of 54 straight and that is still in sight. It would be a great tribute to the coaches, players and fans of this program if we could accomplish that. You made a comment after the Pittsburgh game that you weren’t cornered about the Pittsburgh fans because you’d never seen a fan make a basket. I’m wondering how much the fans have contributed to the success of Syracuse basketball and how much could we contribute to a victory in the Duke game? Is it that the fans have more impact on the home team than they do on the road team?" Second hour: "Coach, just a comment here. We finally saw both Kaleb Joseph and BJ Johnson have big games. Fans sometimes get down on young players who are struggling. They talk about wasted scholarships, being “recruited over”, who should transfer, etc. They have to realize that Rakeem Christmas and Michael Gbinije weren’t always the players they are now and that Kaleb Joseph and BJ Johnson and the rest were recruited to come here because they are talented players. If you criticize them it’s not because they don’t have ability but that they aren’t using it. With hard work and maturity and some patience from the fans, those struggling young players could become the Christmases and Gbinijes of future SU teams."
