Reading the Washington basketball threads

[jimmyT]

Oh what could of been

 

[OrangeDW]

Hey, it’s the “Miami message board REALLY wants Dino. Just sayin’.” guy.

Go root for Washington then.

 

[dasher]

Oh what could of been

You mean they are excited about winning one tournament game? Big wow. That was us. Before Jb and 45 years ago.

Dash, be nice. That's Mike's first win of I hope many many more. Whether he ever returns, he'll always bleed orange just like us

 

[Bayside44]

Win your conference regular season and wear a road jersey in your first game, not the same as playing in the ACC.

If you could trade JB for Hop today who do you pick.

 

[SUFan44]

If you could trade JB for Hop today who do you pick.

Not even close.

 

[Killdozer]

Not even close.

Yeah, it would be great having Hop back at SU.

 

[two3zone]

If you could trade Washington's roster for our roster, would you? Going into next year, I think it's a tough decision..

Once again, not even close, especially if UW gets McDaniels.

 

[kcsu]

Im happy for him. 20 plus years of loyalty being shat on at the 12th hour results in great Karma for him.

Envy turns people funny sometimes.

So you watch a lot of Syracuse games, eh?

 

[Orangemen]

Just wait till next year.

I don’t think it’s going to be an enjoyable comparison for us.

Agree but it’s on the fans as much as the university no one wanted him on here after his cameo despite that team reaching the final four. The fan base was backing off that engagement way more than the AD and consensus was he had to prove elsewhere that he deserved the job.

 

[dasher]

If you could trade JB for Hop today who do you pick.

I'm sorry, this is a moronic question. You are asking me if I would trade a 74 year old man for a 40 something year old man. Who do you think?

 

[SaltLakeOrange]

Win your conference regular season and wear a road jersey in your first game, not the same as playing in the ACC.

That’s a nasty quote. He was here for 20 years and bled orange...wish him well and wonder what might of been.

 

[dasher]

Just wait till next year.

I don’t think it’s going to be an enjoyable comparison for us.

You realize that we play in a monster conference , right? Put Washington in the ACC and they aren't even in the tournament.

The AD is paid to have some guts. And he definitely failed in that regard.

I don't believe this for a second.

 

[SaltLakeOrange]

I don't believe this for a second.

Put WA in the ACC and they’d be vying for the same kids everyone else was. Hop would get his share and be successful. I have no doubt.

yeah, everyone on the board was saying that after Hop went 4-5 in a his mini tenure here. And that had a big effect on Hop and his decision to leave. Washington beat a terrible league this year. And that is all they have done.

They made it to the second round and may have two top 10 kids coming in next year. I wish that's all we did this year.

You know as well as I why Hop decided to leave. And it had nothing to do with his going 4-5. And his going 4-5 was in no way an indicator of his ability to be successful as a HC. He coached JBs team using what JB wanted him to do.

I’m on the record for saying this year should of been Mike’s first and I wish it were. Others say things will be better next year. Okay...we’ll see...
