PITT Round 2 Post Game

[phil77]

Wait, are you saying we were run 74-47 and you don’t think it’s because our team lacks talent?

Our talent issues pale in comparison to our coaching issues. We do have talent issues but our coaching issues need to be fixed before we bring in the talent or the talent won't matter.

 

[hoopsupstate]

You need three reliable scorers every game. Tonight we get Bell and a little JJ, but no Lampkin. We just can’t get any consistency from this team. First half defense was ok, not so much in the second half.

 

[Dinkyspond]

Pitt went on a 74-47 run after we were up 16. But sure, NIL is the reason why we suck.

boy does that put things in perspective

Good Lord.

I get what you’re saying. But you know I’m sick to freaking death of the constant vague posting that people do here.

Speak plainly or shut up is how I see things these days.

Are there people on the Board of Trustees specifically who have demanded that Red be brought back next season? The Chancellor?

We lack talent and high level coaching. A high level coach could have our talent at least bubblicious.

*not ACC tourney bubblicious.

Let’s play speculation. We know who the BOT is and specifically who’s on the Athletics committee. My suspicion is this is where the debate comes from and who wanted Red. It is/was not difficult to see who the JB backers were on this committee….

Sadly, said on national TV.

"Pitt can't lose this game to a Quad 3 team..."

And sadly its far closer to a Q4 win than a Q2 win.
We are only marginally ahead of the Q4 cutoff line of 160 vs the Q2 line of #75 (we entered today at #146 and will probably stay around that number).

Yeah, ok.

Follow the money.

Red will be back because the people who donate the big money want him back next year.

Because it's those donors who will have to come up with the money to get rid of him.

Just like it is at every other D1 school.

 

[Irishsecra1]

Thank you baby Jesus

I don’t think GMAC would want the job at this point.
We are a dumpster fire.
Let him polish his head coaching chops at Siena.
The fanbase loves him there.

Excommunicating Weitsman was a gigantic mistake.

He will also be back with double the salary cap, which many around the program realized hurt this year’s product.

He has not been good this year. Let’s see what happens next year.

Feels like Deja vu.


Receipts will be kept.

Again.

Flips will be flopped.

Again.

The folks that have been wrong about everything for 4 years telling us next year will be better.

I’ll believe it when I see it

Big money would rather give money to Red and watch him waste it and lose games and ruin the program than use that money to buy him out and actually get a coach in here to win and turn the program around? Got to love it people with money that have no clue about today's college basketball.

I asked someone else this but he wouldn’t answer. Will double SU’s compensation pool be enough when we can expect compensation amounts to likely grow by at least 2-3X given the rush of money that’ll get pumped into the system?

Going from $2.5 million to $5 million sounds good. But if our competition for players is going from $5 million to $10 million, or even $15 million, can we actually land top flight talent?

Even if our competitor's war chests have not doubled we might end up needing more via the portal than we did last year. PG. C. What if Freeman is gone? SF.

The thought that money magically makes this situation better is foolish. #FireRed

Nah man we are the only program in the nation that is going to increase our NIL and everyone is going to want to play for Syracuse we are going to have the pick of whoever we want this off season.

 

[Irishsecra1]

Seriously, if you were GMAC, would you want this job right now.
We are really bad.
Only a strong sense of loyalty would bring him back next year.
Maybe in 5 years if we are just mediocre?
Right now, he is getting good head coaching experience at Siena.
And he is already dealing with rebuilding a dumpster fire

 

[ar inj]

Who cares? If you read the board then you know there was much more important but sadder news today about one of the stars on this board.

 

[Scooch]

I feel like I’m asking a relevant question. I’m very worried SU isn’t accounting for compensation inflation while we hear these assurances about our increased pool.

Of course we aren't because why would we be prepared for that? That would be silly.
