Message: [QUOTE="cuseinseattle, post: 2970403, member: 2504"] I honestly feel like it’s the #1 factor. I don’t know Hop we’ll but have talked to him 3-4 times in person and the first time was before season 1 and I said thanks for everything you did for Syracuse Basketball and it was total crap the way some people criticized you after the 9 games. He looked at me and said coach was coming back, it’s his team. I had to do things the way he would want and all the players know he’s coming back. It’s not my team. The look in his eyes when he said this was genuine hurt and pain. It was clear he thought he had built up sweat equity and how quick the pitch forks came out shocked him. He looked really emotional when he said it. I personally think it cut him pretty deep and was the catalyst for everything else that happened. [/QUOTE]
