Continues to let happen? WTH are you talking about? He’s suspended him twice now. Why don’t you wait and see if there’s any punishment for Bennie’s latest antics before you judge the coach. What would you do?

Not a lot rebounds available when the opposition shoots 66%. But they did do a good job rebounding WF's missed free throws.

Can you imagine talking about “our best loss”.
I have been following SU basketball since the 60’s. I have never seen such bad losses. I can’t watch such poor basketball

It’s crAzy to say but I wonder- how many 10+ win losses did we have per year even just the last 5 seasons of JB’s tenure?
He clunked 3 wide open 3s in a row then added a forced fadeaway and bad drive after we had closed the gap killed our first half. He also go abused on d. Nobody was food tonight but need to figure out a plan for next year
They have been conditioned playing zone defense, transitioning over to man to man defense, and our recruiting has obviously been less than stellar for multiple reasons. He needs to treat this job, which is a rebuild to a degree like he is an outsider which he is not. However, he needs to do that, and he will do it with tact.

We lack talent, maturity, and leadership. Not good.

I was just excited he was shooting the ball. Even though he missed, it's about time he stood up and shot some balls.
Red's post game presser can be summed up concisely: "Unacceptable." He was obviously embarrassed, infuriated and disgusted and he did not leave any doubt about the team's lack of effort and resilience. I think he struck a perfect balance between a tipping of the cap and an overturning of the podium.

At least he didn’t deck someone.

Just hoping we get to a point where we're not logging blowout losses and talking about "next year" in the beginning of February.
This year was always gonna be a write-off for Red and it's clear this rebuild is substantial.
We need a roster overhaul. We have (what looks like) a couple dynamic freshmen coming in, but freshmen are freshmen and need time. Hopefully he can get better portal window in this year and bring in some experience that can hit the ground running.

I think seeing Copeland bitching at Red did it for me. Not good imo

The kid has had multiple fits since the second suspension. He did some of the same garbage just the other night at Boston College. Did you see him brush by red on his way back to the bench? Have you been watching the games all year since the second suspension? Doesn’t seem like it judging from your post.

Williams has some major issues. He acts like he’s in another world. I think he has 3-4 technicals this year. It’s ridiculous his lack of discipline. He acts like a punk. He’s a 6’9” spoiled brat that thinks he knows everything. He’s a cancer on this team and needs to be sent packing. If he went to the locker room without shaking hands that’s reason enough to remove him from the program. At some point, enough is enough. Play guys that want to play the right way. If you’re going to get killed, at least have players on the court trying to play the right way. We will learn a lot against Louisville. They will either come out guns a blazing or quit on the season. I feel bad for Red. He wants it more than the players.

Those of us old enough to have watched Red play at Syracuse, then go pro and play overseas, mostly in Europe, come back and put in time as an assistant know he loves the game and desperately wants to succeed as a head coach. Imagine pouring a lifetime of blood, sweat, and tears into a sport you are passionate about and you wind up with a squad that has no chemistry, is soft on the court, and appear to be whiners and cry-babies, at least more than one, on the bench and in the locker room. Yes, some of this is on Red because he is in charge and makes the ultimate call on who's on the squad, or not, but first year coaches inherit an existing program and need time to build it in their image.
Red will get a pass for this year, but given the nature of this years beat-down losses if there isn't discernible improvement next year, and especially the year after, it's gonna be lights out for AA. And the hard truth is building a program in this day and age is tougher than it has ever been . . . by a wide margin. Kids parachute in and out of programs the way most people change underwear. How do you "build" a team and a culture with that type of player churn?
This squad is beginning to show signs of imploding. Nine games to go. Red has to be worried about a China Syndrome style meltdown right here.
Very stormy seas right now.

The shoulder bump he gave to Red, spitting on the floor behind the bench and getting the T should warrant sprints forever this morning or a long vacation from the team. Actually the whole team should enjoy some early morning sprints for quitting yesterday.

i threw in the towel at halftime and handed my wife the remote. NO MAS . went to the kitchen and listened to the ensuing massacre on the radio. won't rewatch it today.
I agree, I saw this too. ACC always does a good job of getting our players looking like clowns. It's our own faults.

Replacing a Hall of Famer is always going to be a leap into the unknown.

He’s a selfish player. He got praised for the one game he wasn’t, even though that’s literally a point guards job

I’d rather watch pickup games at the downtown Y than this team. They play with more heart and discipline there than this SU team.

After everything he’s done this season he should be sent packing. He acted like a 5 year old against FSU, throwing his headband to the ground. Don’t think he ever came back in either. He’s the type of person that makes everyone else’s attitude worse
