I haven't read the whole thread yet, so sorry if I'm repeating what has been said.

Personally, I'd cut the assistants some slack when it comes to recruiting.

You're an SU assistant and your head coach repeatedly criticizes his players (by name) in post-game press conferences...all over youtube.

He occasionally makes outrageous public statements.

People mention zone being a detriment to our recruiting. Seems likely.

He's older than methuselah. The threat that it might be his last year or he would retire before the recruit was a junior has been around for a decade.

He has always exhibited a snarky personality.

If I was a highly regarded recruit I doubt that I'd want to go to SU. I think recruiting basketball players at SU has had some negative weight in recent years. Not the assistant's fault.

Maybe they deserve some flack for practices and pre-game prep?

I have enjoyed JB's wry sarcastic sense of humor over the years, and his general avoidance of coach speak.
