The program is washed.

If his wins get reinstated he won’t need 6

They have won 88 the last 5 years.
Say Syracuse wins 2 more games this year, he will be 85 away. No guarantee at this pace it gets done in 5 years.

To get it done in 4 they would need to average 21.25 wins a year. They have not won 21 games in a year since 2018.

So it's possible it could get done in 4 -- but its as equally possible that it leaks into his 6th season.

If his wins get reinstated he won’t need 6

He would have 1115 right now if they were reinstated and K has 1202. So, at least four years?

Bridge the 3-5 year gap between JB retirement and GMac taking over.

I don’t think Gmac would mind waiting behind 2 HOF coaches, right? Yes, this has virtually a 0% chance of happening, but I don’t care.

If Pitino comes to Cuse I will be ALL THE WAY back…. We would instantly be championship contenders

 

[OrangeDW]

Does he really think he can stick around for 6 more years to pass K?

Jim, Jimmy, and Buddy in 40 years:

That’s counting getting the 101 back

You really think that a program trending the way it has with an over 80 coach that doesn’t recruit can win 17+ games per to get it done in 5 or 21+ in 4?!?!

I think Pitino makes one more run at UK

 

[Trueblue25]

Cuse basketball is not cuse basketball anymore and they need to figure it the hell out.

Cant let a culture like that die

We should feel bad

It’s insane how bad they just let it get. The complacency is really something else.

And it’s killing the program and fanbase.

Where is Cal going?

Use to think cuse would win every game. Now it is how embarrassing is the loss going to be

Exactly. If we ever got down 10-15, you knew we’d most likely make a run.

Now, it’s game over. I think the score was 48-38 in this one when I knew it would never get close again.

This program is a friggin joke. I guarantee any opponent with any skill level is thrilled to play against us. They knew they’re getting looks and space to do whatever they need to with the ball.

It’s not just the play at this point. Half the things JB says are embarrassing these days. He likes to fabricate I’ve noticed…

 

[CU44SE]

If said it a couple times before. We have beat 4 teams with a winning record. Imagine how bad our record would be this year if we played a harder schedule or the ACC was actually the ACC. This is the weakest the conference has EVER been.

Its negligence and selfishness imo

"We cannot play man"

What he really should have said was "I refuse to coach man""

A question someone should ask, why are we not capable of playing Man year after year?

 

[SwagSocks]

The coach is 100% the problem. I hate ragging on the players. At the end of the day they are kids, most likely living out a dream playing college hoops. JB is responsible for recruiting talent to play for him and his system. His system is broke

 

[PoppyHart]

I see we’ve arrived at the point were the pendulum has started to swing too far in one direction.

Are you giving lifetime achievement credits, or simply basing it on pure coaching ability, regardless of longevity or other potentially mitigating circumstances (resources, TV exposure, etc…)

I’ll tackle the low-hanging fruit first.

All from coaches who were active when JB started, so no Wooden, Rupp, Phog Allen, etc…

Who do you disagree with below?

And they’re getting as many offensive boards as they need to score

 

[jgeorge322]

I think JB might keep coaching just because he knows a large segment of the fan base wants him to retire

 

[STEVEHOLT]

I actually think this is one of the more offensively talented teams we’ve had in a while. We shot 50% and 56% from the field and from 3 today and last game shot 47% and 39%.

It’s just so bad defensively and gas forced all of 12 turnovers the last two games combined. The offense just can’t make up for the defensive shortcomings. Now when I’m referring to defensive shortcomings, I place the blame in this order

-scheme
-coaching
-players.

The first two aren’t changing anytime soon. So I’m not hopeful.

Where is Cal going?

Outside of the top 3, everyone else is essentially interchangeable with JB

 

[Guinness]

Many of us saw the end playing out just as it has. Nobody should be shocked JB’s career will end by getting blown out game after game. I wish it never reached this level but it’s apparent that it has to reach this level for something to change.

More greats than not go out in a dumpster fire. It is the rare coach that goes out on top. The only people apparently unaware of that are the only people that that can end this, but they won't.

I think he announces his retirement after the loss in the ACCT. He knows it's over.
