[Briancuse]

Double digit loss number 27

In November and December, hell yes. I don't know what happened to him.

The gout got him, too.

He was just part of the lost lock room...

 

[hoopsupstate]

I doubt they make an announcement until the team gets back. Red and his team doesn’t need to find out on the plane ride home.

He has aspects of a good player but I wouldn’t go so far at to say he’s a good player

Fortunately I was unable to watch the game on TV but followed on my phone. Typical game as of late. Nice first half, disastrous second half. The main question I have is why was George shooting so much? He, Starling, and Freeman had statistically horrible games. Oh well. Very disappointing season. Will Red be coach 24 hours from now?

Double digit loss number 27

Damn!

 

[TommyA13]

No different than what anyone else would have got had they performed so poorly.Surely Red can see how bad his teams were and not take it personally.

That doesn’t mean any person (especially Red who was an incredible player and loves everything about Syracuse), deserves to hear the things people say about them

Assuming we see a statement this evening?

 

[Irishsecra1]

From everything that I have heard, Red is a very nice person who loves SU.
It is truly sad that he just didn't have the ability to be a good head coach.
There is no shame in that - very good recruiter, can carry out orders given to him as an assistant.
You can be a great assistant but just cant run the whole shebang yourself.

Main reason why I don't want to see an assistant coach from a good to great program take over our coaching job. I want someone who has proved he has what it takes to be a good head coach.

Be that BH, Schertz or my favorite alum GMAC, it has to be someone who has at least proven he has the ability to run his own program. No more flyers on assistants.

it's a short flight though. I wouldnt be surprised to see something by 8/9 tonight.

What’s the hurry ..

 

[Delmar]

Red is Greg Robinson. He's a genuinely good human being who simply was underqualified for the job he signed up for.

SU won 20 games last year which makes the Robinson comparison invalid. If we had won 6 or 8 games, then I would agree.

 

[crales44]

I do truly feel bad for Red. He loves this school, city, community, etc. but he just couldn’t get it done as a HC. The stuff he’s going to get (and has already gotten) on social media doesn’t sit right with me and I feel awful for him.

This is where I am. Hate that it's going down this way. Know that it has to go down.

Finally, now send the tweet thamel

Last year ?? No in year 1

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.

 

[TommyA13]

Donnie over the past month or so is basically DeShaun Williams in 2002 minus banging another player's girl.

I wonder what happened the year after that….

 

[721Comstock]

The gout got him, too.

He died of dysentery.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

It could be worse

Exit fee squabble may cost Utah Valley WAC tournament play

The WAC has threatened to leave Utah Valley out of the men's and women's basketball tournaments over a $1 million payment it says the school hasn't made. The UVU men's team is the top seed in the conference.

That we know of…

Somehow, I think they know.

Assuming we see a statement this evening?

Given all the moving parts, I think it’s a real possibility.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Time to start fixing things.

Don’t really care about the game itself. Same old.

Onwards to a new era.

They are $6M richer for the experience. He'll have options.

Nobody said he deserves it but that’s the World we live in nowadays.Get a grip.
