I posted this in a different thread earlier, but I think it fits better here.

I commented a couple weeks ago that there might be some dissension on this team when it started to look like there was little chemistry showing. Hoopupstate and VBOF both are seeing pieces of that.

It's obvious that JB is disheartened at the lack of progress of this team. There is adequate talent and in some cases, exceptional abilities present. But at this point there is no team.

It might have been fools gold when we brought in White and Gillon. Or perhaps as was suggested, that they were given too much of the "team". Both are acceptable as backups off the bench, but neither have a good feel for how things are done in the Syracuse system. Topping that was their displacement of players who have put in time to be progressing as valued parts of the team.

I think we would have been better off starting Lydon, Roberson, Coleman, Battle and Howard and maybe still should. Roby is totally disillusioned at this point and Howard is frustrated with his own play as well as the team's.

There are no easy answers, but I still believe this team can find some cohesiveness IF they and the staff are willing to be honest about the abilities and willingness to play together of each player and combinations of them.
