Can you imagine? Joe and Buddy could challenge guards drives even less because Stewart has their backs! Well for the first couple minutes until Isiah fouled out.
I can imagine. Honestly I would be even more annoyed than I am now.
I see you’re spewing your hot garbage all over the board this morning. Quit trashing Hop. K and Cal get 3-5 top 50 recruits every season, plus they always have experience coming back. Washington doesn’t have the experienced guys and lacks a really good outside shooter.
They also remind me of our last 2 bubble teams. They just don't have people that can hit perimeter shots. Their one saving grace is they are athletic so they could get in the tournament and have a lock down game or two with the zone and Stewart could get his with some help and they could beat someone good.
I always love arguments that boil down to a coach is so bad that I'm comparing them to Cal and K who are 2 of the top 10 basketball coaches of the last 40 years.
It definitely reminded me of a Syracuse loss I have seen over and over again where you are ahead and thinking if they hit a few 3's in the next handful of possessions we are going to lose and then boom it happens.
I doubt it. It is a football school and the fan base does not have near those expectations. Romar brough in good talent and missed the tournament for like 6 straight years. There were still a good amount of people that weren't for a change until he lost 22 games and even then there were people not on board.
Fans can be idiots. All through the early 80s and until we made the title game in 1987 (and even again into the early 90s), Syracuse fans complained about Boeheim’s coaching. He was always criticized as a good recruiter who relied on the Dome and the Big East to get players and basically just rolled the balls out. The 1996 title team changed the perception on him. People who understood the game understood JB’s brilliance (not that he doesn't have flaws too). Hop spent 25-30 years learning from the master, has a proven ability to develop players, and has proven himself as a great recruiter with a more dynamic personality than JB. I prefer a guy who knows exactly what it takes to win at Syracuse and knows the East Coast recruiting landscape in and out and has the recruiting connections necessary to land the best players. His in-game head coaching acumen will improve over time, too. I will fully support him as the next SU coach.
He obviously sucks. I'm not sure how he hasn't overtaken Cal and K by year 3. He must be lazy or hate winning. LOL keep up the H0T Takes. Your cracking me up.
Ever heard of Fab Melo?
Conference coach of the year. For a weak conference.
They would get a ton of open looks with Stewart in the middle. Maybe not 13-2, but 11-4 seems reasonable.
Our issue isn't scoring. Our issue is our guards can't stay in front of anyone. Stewart would fouling out and we would still be giving up 75 points a game
Now coach of the year awards don't matter in p5 conferences. LOL.
No, it's called clarifying. He didn't win national coach of the year, that's number one. Number two, the Pac-12 was historically bad the last two seasons. Only three bids each year. Washington won the conference and they were just a 9-seed. Hopkins didn't exactly face stiff competition for those honors. So let's not go around flaunting awards as if they would automatically translate to success elsewhere.
Open looks mean more scoring. More scoring means overcoming defensive inefficiencies.
true but rebounding has cost us some games too and I think Stewart helps with that, I think our last 2 losses are probably reversed and maybe Gtown.
Really? I've been pleasantly surprised by how well Girard passes to the bigs. He does look for Marek and Sidibe and does a pretty solid job overall.
There were some valid reasons to complain early in his career.
