First post here...felt compelled to share on this topic.

I think those of us who have children can relate very well to how BJ's father is feeling. He loves his son dearly, knows how hard he is working on and off the court and doesn't want to see him get criticized. ...its just REALLY hard to take as a parent when you know your child is busting his butt to be his best.

It's true that Syracuse is a big time college basketball program and players are going to get criticized by a percentage of the fan base when things are going badly. However, I often find a majority of the criticism related to our players on this forum as unfair.

We certainly have been very spoiled as a fanbase over the years so seeing the team struggle is hard. We just need to trust that the coaches and the players are doing everything they can to improve. Personally I am just taking incredible enjoyment in watching Rak play the way he is...the growth he has shown over 3 years as a player has been good but this senior year has been GREAT so far...I am just so happy for him. I am also taking great pleasure in Chris M's game...he has exceeded my expectations for a freshman and I just want to enjoy every game this season as we likely won't have him after this year.
