If Red had 2 horrible years in a row, I would agree with you. Last year was good for a 1st year coach who inherited a roster that he didn't build, guys who saw him as the good cop and an assistant from the year before who may not have treated him respectfully as a coach, malcontents such as Benny (dropped from team mid-season) and Copeland who we later learned was a handful. This year was a total miss on the portal guys and a step backwards. The comparisons to Payne is vastly unfair - The guy deserves another year.

Isn’t it an indictment more than a credit? That he did better with the last guy’s players than with his own? Either way the trend is still steeply downward, and that’s down from a not very good position. Another year, for what? To trust/believe groundlessly that this year was an aberration? Or for him to learn basketball? To hope that a recruiting class can perform well enough to overcome the lack of coaching? To hope Melo buys enough top portal talent to overcome the lack of an offensive scheme and defensive technique?

Why should we keep hoping for the perfect formulation of new toys to overcome the basic, foundational issue?

I think the win against Chaminade gave us the 20th win, but the tournament doesn’t count that as a win because they are a division 2 school.

Ah. Thank you.

I guess the patience, respect and understanding for most on this board was fully spent on JB. When I was hard on him since 2015 and thought he overstayed his welcome in 2016, he hung on for several more years and dragged the program deep into the toilet. Meanwhile, a lot of posters, though upset, would say a lot of reverential foolery such as "he is the program" "he built it from the ground up and so he should be able to go out on his own terms or whenever he's ready." Now Red is on the shortest leash. I wonder if McNamara was the coach instead of Red, with the same exact situation as Red, would he be given more leeway and understanding?

I watched the game last night. He really moves his feet well on defense and challenges shots. He has an effect on people not wanting to challenge him inside. They ran absolutely nothing for him on offense. He’s more energetic than anyone currently on our team. He would be by far the best defender on this year’s team. It’s hard to tell what he can do, besides dunk bevause he’s not involved handling the ball. He’s left handed, but goes right really well. He’s like the energizer bunny. He doesn’t stop moving. We might finally have a forward who has hops to actually dunk the ball. The lob pass will finally return if we have a willing passer.
