Presser will be must-see TV

This take is driving me BONKERS. So because Joe makes a terrible turnover, Jesse is required to make the dumbest decision of his young career so far. I’m so confused with this take. Joe made a horrible turnover. Jesse INDEPENDENT of that, made a far worse decision.
In case you couldn't tell by last years fiasco. Ill let you in on a secret.
Jim plays favorites and he loves Joe.
 
It’s correct, and it actually got worse, he further elaborated that he was “disappointed Benny didn’t help more defensively” when we went small.

So yeah, it was Benny’s fault.
Yep...just the way I seen it! Jesse's fault until he fouled out and then Benny, Cole and Frank let us down. Too bad we couldn't play with just 3 - Buddy, JB3 and Joe!!!
 
Do you ever get the idea that you could never truly make him happy….i can’t imagine the pressure his boys feel playing for him.

Yes, Joe made the mistake, but Jessie just needs to be a matador in that situation and give up the layup. He is absolutely not THE problem, but that was a dumb play.

Agreed. I said the same when Girard put Jesse in that position.
“Darnit Joe! Now I have to go hammer this breakaway guy cuz of your turnover instead of just getting the heck out of the way!!”

Yeah, sounds silly to me too
 
My biggest worry is, as this season continues to fall apart and JBs frustrations flare, he. Continues to berate his players (right now it seems like Jesse, and Frank to a lesser degree) and those player leave at the end of the year.

If the practices are filled with the same targeted criticisms as the pressers, then yes I can see Jesse and Frank both choosing to leave.
When you open the presser with "Jesse has to stay in the game, he just can't commit those fouls", and "Frank just stood around, he wasn't giving us anything, so I had no hesitation about staying small since Jimmy could go around the guy guarding him". If I'm either of those players I'm like; "whatever, dude".
 
no, he's not watching the same game
He blinded by the crafty offense moves and 3 pointers and he's ignoring defense.

he did this last year as well until it hit the critical point then he went to the lineup that won and got us to the sweet 16. He doesn't have that option this year.

His pressers if I had to guess...he's gaslighting...which he did last year with the plus/minus nonsense and it cost us players. Let's hope he stops and we can move on next year and have a fresh start with Jesse, Benny, and Joe.

I think we get another mass exodus this year. No competent AD ignores two roster purges back to back.

FYI both Jesse and Frank were very close to leaving after last season.
 
I have no doubt at least Jessie was doing well enough in practice to play minutes to avoid Marek playing C. No doubt at all. And I like Marek a lot, but he was not a C.

Honestly I think Boeheim basically not playing Edwards until he was absolutely forced to last year (teamwide foul trouble against Ga Tech) was worse coaching than any of his questionable coaching this year.

The AD was ignoring the Q situation until the Athletic reported it and I think said the women exiting was part of today's game. He isn't going to take action over departures.
