[quote="Mike Zaun" post=318120]Can we finally admit that the 0-11 start last year wasn't just LoVett quitting? Of course it was part of it, but another big part was very poor coaching. You have brand new head coaches like Xavier, Butler, etc. doing just as well if not better than Mullin from the get go while Mullin is in year 4 with 4 and 5 star veteran players. That should be a huge indication. Also, we are losing players constantly with tons of transfers and a decommit. That's obviously another indictment on staff. Can't blame them really, if you had a son would you really trust this staff with developing them? People need to get over the nostalgia and see the objective truth. We will never advance under this staff to being a perennial contender. I was against Pitino earlier in the year, but you know what? At this point, bring him in...I don't care. Nothing has been proven against him right?[/quote]. Posting suggestions about Rick Pitino being a Coaching candidate are frankly, ridiculous . We have a 15-5 record. The BE Record is disappointing . No disputes there . Playing What If this happened or didn’t happen is all we can do as fans . But, what if , the Seton Hall Game wasn’t lost on a blown call? Or, we held on at Villanova ? The Season looks much different then . And , not the Sky is falling temperature evidenced now . Likewise, we could have very easily lost the first GTown game too. It was down to the wire there too. What were we , down 5 with under 2 minutes to go in regulation? Yesterday was no different . Despite playing poorly all game , we might have Won if Figgy’s 3 pointer drops or , the put backs were successful . There would have been no McClung uncontested dunk , if Simon or Keita has tied it up . So , yesterday’s loss really came down to 1 play . Of course , we played poorly most of the game but, rallied to have a chance to Win . It was a good look, good shot , didn’t go in ... If Players do not play well, is that the Coaches fault ? Simon and Clark played poorly , as bad a performance as they collectively have played in 2 years . 5-26 is bad , very bad . You can’t put that stat on Mullin . Just can’t . But, many here will as their frustration takes over . It’s funny , like this Year with Eli Manning and the Giants . Fact was the Giants had a poor team , a result of Jerry Reese poor drafts over too many years . Yet, with a Offensive Line that started the year with questionable talent , Eli took all the heat for the inevitable losses . If Tom Brady was QB for the Jints , the result would have been the same . But, I digress . A few bounces our way and our BE Record is much different . If Clark and Simon shoot better , we win yesterday !
