Message: [QUOTE="CU44SE, post: 4968542, member: 2196"] C - it’s on both Issues 1- coach did a poor job of reloading the roster. He knew the squad, this is how he put the team tougher. In today’s game, you can turn the roster over in 1 year. We have a lot of holes. But I can’t say I’m overly impressed in any of the guys we brought in. JJ is starting to get more comfortable, but some said he would be a top 10 transfer. He has been far from that. We have some really good recruits coming in. So the talent looks to be improving but I’m extremely dissapointed in every single transfer we brought in. More basketball to play, but it hasn’t been good. 2- the players are not good enough and we have too many individuals on the team. Mintz is only concerned with his stats. He doesn’t get teammates involved and he doesn’t play good team defense. Bell is all about himself. He only cheers on his success. Doesn’t play defense and pouts when he’s not involved. Too busy celebrating when he hits a shot and doesn’t get back on defense. Copeland and Brown are do anything guys. They will do whatever it takes to win. But too many guys on the team more concerned with personal accolades then team success. 3- I don’t think the coaching has been great. Offense is the same as the past couple years. Roll the ball out and play steet ball, iso ball. No structure at all. Prime example is the end of the Miami game. 12 seconds left Red calls a timeout and draws up a play. It ended up with a deep 3 point shot from Copeland who shoots 25% from 3. There was no plan on the play. It’s not the only example, but it’s very concerning. 4- we have gotten worse as the season has gone on. He’s either losing the team; or unable to adjust to the coaches who have tape on what Syracuse does. Teams should be getting better as the season goes on. Especially a younger team with a lot of sophomores and juniors. Unfortunately, we seem to be getting worse. Defense is getting worse and every loss is a blowout loss. We are not even competitive in our losses. [/QUOTE]
