Bballbeadle, I too, feel for JB. He's been through a lot with all that's transpired since the Bernie Fine situation raised it's head. I believe all who love the basketball program have hoped for a smooth transition and perhaps JB going out on a high note of a 2nd National Championship. It seemed that we were flirting with one, especially the year that ended with Fab Melo's suspension when we were crushing it. But in spite of all the high expectations at this years start there can be no doubt that there is trouble in Cuseland.

It's said that pride comes before the fall and JB is very prideful. In the end it's imperative that you can relate to the players in a way that motivates them both individually and as a cohesive team. At yesterday's presser the sense of JB's feeling defeated and at a loss for answers was palpable. By all accounts everyone expected that this team would come together and be able to make some noise by years end. The systemic implosion that was yesterday's game is something I've not seen in 40 years of following the team. It's simply incomprehensible that those players can be so disjointed and undisciplined. There is something going on and it's tearing this group apart. JB may not have the answers... but unfortunately he is staring at negotiating the balance of the season with an enigma that defies explanation. For JB's sake, for the players sake, and for all who love the program I hope he can do something to turn things around.
