Xavier, Wed., Dec. 28, 9p, FS-1

[NCJohnnie]

I have always said I support every coach until it can no longer be justified. Unfortunately, I am there with CMA. He has completely lost this team which he said was his most talented. No excuse for this kind of consistent under performance.

Right there sums it up. Jones gets back while FOUR St. John’s players didn’t hustle back. FOUR Xavier player did. Not good enough.

Guinness, the real bigger question is will this “style” of basketball win? I’m not feeling it. Probably not for this thread right now but unstructured, helter skelter is not working out for us.

It’s like Paultz said…there’s no structure. And like I’ve (and many others too) said hero ball. They run a weave at the top of the key, throw a screen or two and then shoot when one of them feels like it. I really want Gardiner to stay but it may have to happen because we’ll never win with a coach who…can’t coach. Doesn’t matter who the players are.

Like I've said since last season.... There are times when good coaches are no longer "good." It happens. I've been having that feeling about Anderson for a year.

The college basketball game has changed over the decades, but Anderson hasn’t.

 

[Larry Wright]

Now letting players coach
Probably a good idea

 

[Mean Gene]

Count me as a “call Pitino“ advocate.

Forget Pitino, too much baggage and he’s 70 years old. Bring Chris Mack in here.

 

[dwcross]

God i wish Tulsa made him an offer last spring

 

[MakingPlays]

This sucks man, get Curbelo out of the game. I'm tired of his lackadaisical attitude and turnovers.

This team reeks of maybe an NIT bid. Possible CMA's last year in coaching. This is just bad all the way around. Xavier does not have enough talent to be blowing us out at home. Nobody is even engaged in the huddles. I'm about to turn this game off.

Count me as a “call Pitino“ advocate.

Unpopular opinion: I would rather have his son.

 

[Delaware]

We have no clue on offense, or defense for that matter.

 

[espken]

FS1 should have mercy and pull plug on SJU sideline.

 

[guinness77]

With NIL and the transfers being immediately eligible you don’t have to have any lean years if you change a coach. Bring Chris Mack in here and you’ll have a top 5 Big East roster next year.

It was more about keeping Gardiner than Anderson but I really don’t know how to feel about it anymore.

 

[paultzman]

Mike has lost this group it seems

 

[Johnny Rapper]

Xavier just beat the Johnnies down the court on three straight fast breaks…. That’s just awful.

 

[paultzman]

Wonder if Shanley watched these huddles

 

[Boo Harvey]

Forget Pitino, too much baggage and he’s 70 years old. Bring Chris Mack in here.

Bring in another coach who was fired at his last stop, no thanks

 

[guinness77]

Coach k always had a soft spot for us. We have a Duke AD. Call him!

 

[Larry Wright]

All jokes aside this reminds me of all the Mahoney teams after his first team

Same.

I was a big advocate of Anderson as I thought we needed to show we could at least get back to being above .500 year in year out. And he did that. But it's clear to me that we need a change, whether we make NCAA or not.

We have no clue on offense, or defense for that matter.

Or special teams
