I for one was singing the Hodgson praises last season, but if this is true, what a classless thing to do. Hopefully Red uses this as bulletin board material for himself. Oh and USF lost to GW. 16 points and 7 rebounds for Trey!

I struggle to believe that. What would even be the point of a comment like that?

I have a hard time believing that because if it was true, Syracuse would never hire Hodgson if they had the opening in the future.
If it's true he's a world-class a hole.

If untrue, that guy should be denying it as we speak

Complete nonsense. A coach would never say this, especially to a player.

I’m really surprised and so pleased to see us playing the kind of man to man, high pressure, switching defense that we’ve shown so far. It was certainly hard to have faith that Coach Autry and his staff had the ability to install and execute this 180 degree turnaround in defensive style from the Boeheim days. The first couple of cracks at it were so poor that it really didn’t seem fathomable. The zone had certainly gone stale and a need for change was something probably 90% of us wanted. What it changed to initially was so disheartening that some were asking for the zone back.
Excited to be seeing modern defensive basketball, and to also see the sharing of the ball on offense so far is beyond encouraging. Great job by Red and his staff, credit for working hard to recreate a defensive culture. I was skeptical it would happen under this regime. So glad to be wrong so far. Hope that it can continue when JJ returns as he was a part of the prior squads who struggled. If he’s not cutting it, will be on the coaches to have the guts to demand it or consequences of a reduced role.
Go Cuse!

The poster added a bit of context. Apparently Trey wasn’t exactly quiet in the handshake line either, so he may have provoked it. That said, very immature of Hodgson to respond. Shows bad judgment. I do like him as a potential replacement if Red doesn’t work out, but this gives me pause.

I mean, it's not immature if it didn't happen. Like, what are we talking about here, one random person on the internet concocting a story that not one other person has corroborated?
I completely agree with this assessment, and certainly how character and coaching go hand-in-hand. In fact, they are inseparable and Coach Autry definitely I believe has the character, trusting very much for every other part as well. Nevertheless, I have no idea if true or not, but that honestly reminds me of some of the comments that I read on this board ridiculously frequently And I would say that is even more foul because that is the coach we have at the present time. I trust and pray he makes fools eat their words, but fools typically look for any kind of weakness and try to expose it, even if they succeed for a little while. People who have weathered a little life, however must be aware of that and stay true to the WHY. I hope Red can do that.
