Sadiq White 2 minutes?

[Cuse_NYC]

Red not doing us fans who’d like to see White stick around (regardless of who the next coach is) any favors. He’s way too good to play him 2 minutes. In a game where Betsey gets 16, Souare 8 and Zephir 9. He looked good when he came in too. Nice righty baby hook. Plus, he arguably plays harder than anyone we have.

The bench minutes were fine. But Freeman had a terrible game and played 33 minutes. We have a losing team and anointed p,Ayer’s that play with impunity. It makes no sense. when your team is this bad no minutes should be safe for guys not playing well.

2 minutes is not acceptable for Sadiq. Especially with Freeman playing like that. Unless Betsey is having one of his hot shooting games, he should never have a 16/2 minutes edge over Sadiq. The coach is lost.

Red thought he identified this issue with the team.

Freshman! Alas, we lost anyway.

Red doing Red things.

Souare adn Zephir are our FUTURE.

It all depends on the game plan and strategy for each game.

Should Sadiq play today….

 

[Newhouser]

And why not play him? At worst he brings energy and effort and he's going to be in foul trouble. You don't have to balance his minutes. Reward guys who do the dirty work.

It pisses me off. Laying the program's problems at the feet of our freshmen.

that's an alumni you're talking about.
He's one of us.

Alumni or not, he is getting paid multiple millions of dollars to do a job that he has failed miserably for 3 years in a row. Let me soften my tone to be less inflammatory for you. He should be replaced immediately in the kindest manner possible.

Agreed, but I wonder if it’s meaningful to bother thinking about who is retained in any season going forward, especially for teams outside of the top 25. The NIL + Portal thing make it impossible to determine retention, and then with our lame duck staff… there isn’t one player I would have even 50% confidence in having back next year.

 

[OptimusOtto]

It’s very sad. It’s clear he’s desperate and doesn’t have a clue what to do.

We have a player and a father/alumni benefactor who's name is on the basketball complex that should be retained damn the torpedoes.

His salary begins with a 1 so it’s technically not multiple millions. Over the 3 years yes you’re right. And some of these players haven’t been worth the cost either

I agree that it’s a valuable relationship, just not that it’s one without a limit. Under ideal conditions, there would be a way to diplomatically keep Carmelo’s favor even if the family felt a new destination were appropriate for Kiyan, but these are far from ideal conditions and I have zero confidence in that being managed appropriately. It’s ugly already. I would hate to have Carmelo/Kiyan involved in choosing the next coach, though. One more year of Kiyan isn’t going to have the impact of one year of Carmelo in uniform. We can’t, though get into another ex-SU legend vs SU spat like the fracture with DC1. I really don’t want to think about a scenario where Carmelo pulls his name off the building, but I’m prepared for the worst.

Prepared for the worst??

Yikes...

Meaning a public and acrimonious divorce from Melo. That would be the worst, right?

It wasn't the complaint about Red's coaching prowess that was objectionable. You chose a really nasty metaphor to express yourself.

I think there's a legitimate scenario where every single scholarship player on this year's team is gone next year.

i recall posting what you did, and got crucified.

did you copy/paste from 2023? asking for a friend.
