Changes in the coaching staff is as important as roster formation.Rutgers brought in three transfers to improve 3 point scoring and their performance has been very disappointing.Part of the blame rests with the coaching staffs failure to implement a half court offense that emphasizes player and ball movement which will create open 3 point shots in the corner as well as spacing for dribble drives to the basket.Iso offense doesn't work with a roster of players that can't create and make shots off the dribble.Teams at far lower levels of competition run a far better half court offense.Hurley to his credit at UConn understood two years ago that changes had to be made to the half court offense.The result was two straight national championships.

Maybe the Mods could re-open the prior freeboard threads so we can laugh more at all the loudmouths being so wrong.

I don't think he'll ever back down and admit he was wrong.

What happened was it was always a dumb public hysteria spurred by viral claims with no basis in reality. Listen to her statement. Hobbysits, recreational, etc. Additional sightings spurred by "curiosity." 99 percent of the sightings were planes lol. We learned that NJ is full of extremely dumb people.

Takes the same amount of thought and energy to be an optimist or a pessimist.

I love Rutgers, I love college basketball, I love our players. They’re like my sons. When my sons were struggling in some way, I did not give up on them, and I never will. Same with our team.

If you were invited into the locker room before the next game, would you tell the team, “Oh brother, you guys suck, just give up already.” Or would you find something they can latch onto, to give them hope and ignite a spark in them?

I choose the latter.

I think I’d just tell them you tried, unfortunately you came to RU and we never seem to capitalize properly on opportunities so the team sucks. I do appreciate the effort.

As they use to say- the $64,000 question is what happened to the team that almost took down both Alabama and Houston in LV- currently 2 of the top 6 teams in the country???

We had a healthy Dylan who carved up Alabama for 37 points and went downhill and could not be stopped. We got a more consistent Ace against Alabama and Texas A& M . Jeremiah scored 20 against Texas A&am and was our third scorer when Dylan only had 18.
Illness and injuries have derailed Dylan and Jeremiah has taken the worst turn for a worse performance every game. Ace has elevated his overall game but still can have an off shooting night like the Notre Dame game.
The rest of the supporting cast bungled in Vegas and have been mostly terrible since Vegas. Just a little better play , a few. Ore rebounds and less second chance points , a few more shots made by that crew and we are looking at wins against Alabama ,Texas A& M , Indiana , Wisconsin , and Penn State.

I love how this is always written as a sign the Mets are moving on. How about the Mets are keeping their options open?

we had this discussion last week and it was brutal...now a week later with 2 more losses its just stupid

We should be focusing discussion on what we need to do to make the BIG tournament for one last “fresh start” with a healthy Dylan. Even without Ogbole, there’s a non-zero chance our stars can get hot at the right time and at least make things interesting.

If Bart is still saying we have a better statistical chance at an At Large bid at this point than the auto bid, his tool should be flushed down the toilet. Beyond the numbers, we can at least hope Dylan will be healthy by the BIG tournament. First have to get in though.

Wrestlestat predicts we lose 25-6, I thought we were wrestling Minnesota not Penn State.

Deferring money keeps present day value down which matters for luxury tax purposes.

Mets offer has been the best but Pete probably feels wronged he screwed up so much. Going to have to eat some humble pie.

Imagine 2025:
Flagg, Dylan, Ace, Dybantsa, Boozer Twins just to start.

I'm aware. The current CBA doesn't expire until 2029.

It got close last time.

The problem is deciding what year to have the "double draft" (college freshman and HS seniors).

So many teams have traded so many future picks already.
Nobody really wants to lock down a year because then those picks instantly become overly valuable - but a lot of teams may not even have their own picks already.

why would Biden make it so complex?

Because the whole admin was incompetent across the board

The comparison in a week is aweinspiring

Disgusting and disgraceful and unqualified working in the last admin to keep the public from this information
