You are correct about Jimmy and Buddy. I did not intend my post to be a knock on them, but the point is that there is no way Jimmy leaves if one of his boys sticks around to be coached, and I am ready for Jimmy to go even if it meant his boys also left.Your comment about the boys sickens me. Class kids, good players and glad to have them on this team.
His comments are not only driving Benny away, but they have to be viewed as toxic by many recruits who might otherwise consider coming here.
It is time for Jimmy to go, that can no longer even be a question in anybody's mind.
If he takes Jimmy and Buddy with him that is more than a fair price to pay.
I think his age is showing in is behavior. It's not a knock, see it happening with my mom. 77 going on 78. It's not going to get better. He is past his point of being able to do his job as needed. This is why I think behind the scenes JW and university will nicely push him into retirement.
Certainly seems like he’s pushing him to transfer.He doesn’t want Benny back next year.
The kid has said all the right things and apparently done all the right things - only to have his coach publicly say he stinks and doesn’t even want to talk about him.

legit LOL.Is there any chance he is just covering for Benny? Maybe Benny violated team rules-going to a party, skipped a class or two, or something-and instead of telling the world about it, he is just using that because people expect him to say it?
Agreed. With Jim instead of it being "Hey you kids get off my lawn", it's " Hey you kids get of my court"! Back when I played the center covered the corner with a 50 pound backpack on.I think as you get older, your personality traits don’t change, they just increase in intensity.
It is kind of funny to think that JB might get banned if he was a poster here

The talent evaluation on the recruiting side is very suspect.
So during practices Jimmy plays the 5?Nobody here is at every practice… if he practiced hard and well he’d earn 5’ in a game. That’s how Jimmy earned center minutes ahead of our backup center against wake forest on that final possession of regulation.. If the official made the right call on that awful inbounds play before that we win.
Also the pointSo during practices Jimmy plays the 5?
The worst is when you criticize a player who doesn’t even play.So Joe shoots FT at 90%, does that make him an All American ?
Yeah, it is fair to say Bennie has not fulfilled the pre-season hype, but it is the coach's job, to coach him up to contribute with the things he can do, and that has sorely been lacking.
More importantly, I am beyond disgusted with the Coach throwing players under the bus while simultaneously never even criticizing his select golden lambs, especially the ones with blood ties. Nepotism at its worst.
Need to have a reason to keep Jimmy!!Yikes just giving a kid a reason to leave my god...
JImmy's at 58%Hes not wrong. Williams can't even shoot FTs at 50%.
Difference is Seton Hall has a far better team and better players who play ahead of him. Can’t say the same here.If he looks at the people who left last year, he should want to stay. Just keep working his butt off, especially during the summer! Look at Kadary, people on this board went crazy because he had one spectacular half of basketball against UCONN, but his last two games he went 3-9 and fouled out in 25 minutes, and he went 2-8 for 4 points in 21 minutes. The grass isn’t always greener……if Kadary had stayed he would be the point guard for at least 20 minutes a game minimum while Joe would have been at the 2 and Buddy at the 3. But he wanted to start! Guess what….he isn’t starting now
Not the point.
100% he knows he’s been playing like crapOdds Benny is here next year?
