The Pauley Pavilion (UCLA, 11 championships) has lost its top standing long ago. I say Rupp still holds down the top spot in college ball. But the true Mecca of Basketball is NYC’s Rucker Park. https://ruckerparkstreetball155.com/...

lol. Can just imagine what the “ignored” guy is saying today. Same thing he says after every loss. He believes “Back To The Future” is a real life documentary.

Kowacie Reeves dad, who is very active in the basketball recruiting world, remarked on twitter for potential GT recruits that CDS tells it like it is and and will give it to you straight & honest. I would bet the press, fans & public get the watered down straight talk in his pressers. Doubt very...

So what exactly is the problem with a coach manipulating players into better performance? Do you think CDS is using unfair or insidious means or skillful/artful means? Maybe manipulation in coaching is necessary and also smart. manipulate verb ma·nip·u·late mə-ˈni-pyə-ˌlāt manipulated...

O Nope! We need to be able to compete against the elite teams in recruiting. No way offense needs high level skill players, but anyone can play defense every night if coached right. GT has lagged way behind in recruiting for years. For anyone naive enough to claim this group is CDS’s guys...

Albert Einstein said it as good as anyone, “Stay away from negative people. They have a problem for every solution.” We have a button here, aptly named “ignore”, after those not worth seeing in any forum threads.

On board with you nearly 100%. Understand your very real take on the Orange. I am a New Yorker and never a Cuse fan and have lived with their alumni/fans fingers and laughs for decades. Just so few opportunities this year to congratulate the players and coaches on a job well done that any blame...

I fully understand that, but the team does deserve credit occasionally. Emphasizing weaknesses or poor play in our foes as the reason or major factor for a win strikes me as puncturing the celebratory balloon.

The exact same lineup that started and played against GT, beat North Carolina earlier in the week. I see posts saying Syracuse can’t shoot, can’t rebound and are toast. Yet this crappy shooting rebound weak piece of toast beat the #1 team in the conference a few nights earlier. Tech is becoming...

Nice win for everyone; players, coaches and those who are looking forward to the future as this program changes direction. The morning after a win is also nice here at the Forum. The haters, bashers, whiners & complainers go into hibernation until another loss. One of the best parts of winning...

Except they made lots of mistakes. 17 turnovers. You can’t win in Division 1 or in the ACC when an opponent picks your pocket 12 times unless you are playing a very high level of defense. I wouldn’t say Syracuse can’t shoot. They’re not a good shooting team, but they score enough to have a...

Root, no idea what was said as the poster is, thankfully, on ignore. But, from what I recall of the reason I chose to push that “magic” button, “crap” & “BS”, without any doubt whatsoever, are most certainly accurate descriptions of anything he has to offer. I’d rather read criticisms of GT...

Wow!!! The haters came out in force after this one. So many basketball experts here who tell us they know & understand student athletes, collegiate coaching and the game of basketball. Amazing what you can learn from a seat in the stands or from your couch in front of the TV. First, props to...

Absolutely nothing new in this presser. CDS has been saying this from day 1. We at home have the option of turning off the TV when they play soft & through body language look like they quit. He has to stand there and watch it & clearly doesn’t want to see that kind of play any more. He would...

Bobby Cremins’ greatest unfilled wish was that Rick Barry was a more prolific sire

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/bJXKAbKnj5o5972y/?mibextid=WC7FNe Occasionally looking beyond wins & losses, the measure of student athletes also include how well they represent the school for which they play. Occasionally we read about missteps off the court/field, that result in disciplining...

This one’s a keeper

Been trying to follow this rant and I only speak for myself, but if you think all this metric/stat stuff is teaching anyone about basketball you are either over-stuffed full of yourself, naive, out to lunch or all three. I played jr HS basketball 64 years ago, followed by HS varsity, college...
