Which team is better?

[Domedog84]

Has anyone followed their progress? Despite both being forced out, they are big contributors in their new programs. Neither were replaced with significant upgrades. With Maliq we had 3 NBA level talents that Red and his staff could not coach up and win with. To me, the team issues all started with the way Benny was handled. It surfaced after JB left. Red’s only strength seems to be recruiting. There has been enough talent here under his tenure to have performed much, much better. Kids do stupid stuff. Red and his staff have only 13 players to monitor. What are they doing? We all know how closely Coach Fran monitors his players. I am disgusted that Qadir was forced out and replaced with Carlos. I feel an NBA talent like Bell should have been coached up (14/2.5/40% at Cal). And Qadir - 14/4/3,5/50% at NCS. Not really yesterday’s news bc both may haunt us this season and no one on this team has filled that stat void - Kingz shooting is a huge disappointment and George has only looked comfortable in the last couple of games. My issue isn’t their performance, it is that we forced out players that should have helped our program much more than they did and that they have upgraded their current programs.

Please clarify what you mean regarding Benny? How was he handled?

Better question is would you rather have Copeland and Bell or George and Betsy?

It would be Kingz and yes I’d rather have him than Bell.

LOL, a 19 year old who is old enough to vote, old enough to serve in the military, and is playing professionally...which they are...is not a kid. They are responsible for their actions. I knew guys who did stupid stuff in college, and they had to pay a price for it.

Over on the football board, if a player doesn't adhere to Fran's whole DART thing, fans are generally supportive of Fran showing them the door. No need to rehash the many ways Copeland failed the "discipline" and "accountability" aspects of that DART acronym and I have no problem with Red's decision.

When players transfer, I generally cease to care about them at all. A few, I actively root against. No ill will towards Copeland on a personal basis, but when we play NCSt, I hope we crush him.
