Message: [QUOTE="sufan59, post: 4961294, member: 8789"] That was tough to watch and the Jim Boeheim built Syracuse program is in jeopardy. UCONN went through something similar, though they even found some success very early in the transition with Ollie, but they eventually needed a complete reset by hiring Hurley. Autry showed me last night in the press conference that he gets that this game felt more than just a loss, but that we have a massive culture problem and that he needs to take swift action if he wants to prevent the complete reset that plenty of fans called for at the end of last season. There is two things that I like to see happen right away and third thing moving forward for the culture of the team: 1. I saw this in another thread on it being mandatory again, but we should jump back on this trend. Autry and coaches should wear suits again. It’s one little thing right away that we can do to inject some professionalism that we need back into this program. 2. Talk back to the coaches or leave the bench during the game. Immediate ejection and back to the locker room. I can’t imagine any other program putting up with that behavior. 3. We need to schedule the toughest schedule possible moving forward. If we need to play Big East teams as every non conference game, we should do it. Even if we have to play on the road. We need to challenge ourselves to be the toughest program we can be, that means putting in the work in the weight room and eating right. This mindset may cost us some top recruits in the short term, but we need to start recruiting those willing to put in the work over the stars a player has. Maybe then we will start to get the 5 star recruits that are willing to put the work in as well. [/QUOTE]
