Red’s first team stopped listening to him because they knew he couldn’t coach. It was actually effective. Judah would take over games. Q would go rogue but was effective. Maliq was the glue that pushed the team forward. They weren’t the best team but had some talent to win games.

It’s also why the whole team departed as soon as they lost in the ACCT. We should’ve known back then that Red wasn’t the guy. There were early signals everyone ignored.

Year 2 was the worst roster in modern SU history. It masked that he was a bad coach because it was easy to blame the lack of talent.

Year 3 he got the talent but was finally exposed as not being able to coach and run a program.

Not everyone is cut out for leadership. Red has the desire but not the ability. Unfortunately, Syracuse is a place that has undying loyalty to their alums. They failed to see the answer to bring SU back was outside the school.

I’m hopeful the completely new leadership will see basketball as an important and valuable part of the school, thereby putting the right resources and commitment to making the program successful again. The last decade has been a disaster. The next leadership group has to get it right or I fear SU athletics (basketball and football) will be left to the annals of history like CCNY or Ivy League football.
