38% 3pt season average?  I think that most coaches would probably take that.  The next thing you will say is, the way Cooney ended up with the %? Right?  Very high early on, horrible end.  Nobody complained about his results at mid-season.  It was only the last third of the season that everyone started complaining.

But, is it fair to even suggest the hypothetical of no improvement?  It happens, but there are far more examples of kids improving throughout their careers at SU, than stagnating.

As a fan, in my view, you should be rooting for the kids to improve every year, rather than saying they stink and verbally tearing them down, like some posters on here. (I am not saying that you did this "kuethstheman")

Was I 100% satisfied, as a SU fan, with Cooney's season? No.  Do I hope he improves his game and further develops some of his other skills besides his 3pt shooting? Sure.  Do I hope he gets more rest and that the team has options that allow this to happen? Of course.  But, I don't think he stunk.  I do think that he played his heart out all season long.  And I do think that he played so much each game, because JB rightfully felt that a tired/cold Cooney was better than the other options on the bench.
