Can anyone comment on the Columbia hoops program? Their coach Kyle Smith and his staff have done a solid job. Smith was a long-time assistant at St. Marys (CA). The Columbia staff includes NYC native and former North Carolina player Derrick Phelps. Columbia's overall record during Smith's tenure is good and they've given fits to high profile programs (Kentucky, Villanova).
This thread is patently absurd and enormous waste of time...just my 2 cents
We are 3 spots away from #300 in Ken Pom. I am sorry, if we aren't discussing the coaches future on a message board with that set up you might as well close this thing down.eh, not cool BK. I know you are a supporter through and through, but if you're going to drop a post like this, I think given your 'position' you need to be more clear. Is it a waste of time because you dont think the names being thrown around are accurate? you think its a waste of time because you dont believe EJ is going anywhere? Something else?
Please add to the discussion
Personally, EJ is a major car wreck. And I hope we part ways at the end of this season (or sooner). This parting cant come soon enough. I will think Eddie for his efforts and wish him well.
But I will tell you what a waste of time is in my mind: continuing to support Eddie. (and this is coming from someone who still comes to the games and cheers for RU and our kids...so dont mistake my comment for abandoning the kids...I am stating that I no longer support the Head Coach)

Not at all. I was agreeing with youwere you intending to reply to me?
if you've followed my posts, I have been advocating ejecting Eddie about 10 games in this season...so you'll get no argument from me. My post was for BK...
the numbers speak for themselves. You can bring up bad luck, injuries, Rice, etc all you want but the bottom line is that its not working out here. Are Eddie supporters really afraid we are going to miss out on something?
Cleveland State is 6-21 this year but they STILL have better rpi numbers than RU..grasp that.
RU is 5-21...yes Im not counting that silly D3 game. Here is the rpis of those schools
251. FDU
258. UMass Lowell
320. Central Akansas
328. Howard
351. Central Connecticut State
note that Rutgers is rated 272....wrap your arms around the fact that RU is BEHIND UMass Lowell despite that program being a recent addition to D1.
BY ANY METRIC JORDAN IS DOING A HIDEOUS JOB...you cant even defend it with a straight face

I put no stock in Kenpom. We beat FDU by 8 and Mass-Lowell by 23 and are behind both. They both play nobody but yet move ahead of us.
Dedicated without question. No one is more dedicated. But either unwilling or unable to have an honest conversation about the program in this forum.Guy goes on road and at home. Very dedicated.
You and Pat Hobbs close friends? Many many said the same on the football board in late Nov.I will answer for a bk. he is saying it is a pointless thread because EJ is coming back next season. As I have said before there is no chance he is fired.

I think you're using older numbers - from what I see on the kenpom site right now:
288. FDU
297. Central Akansas
305. UMass Lowell
330. Howard
351. Central Connecticut State
And we're at 294.
Cleveland State is now 8-20 and is 299.

Even someone like you, when your half brain is not shouting from the mountain tops, Eddie has to go, must have the other half of your brain, should be able to understand Calipari, Coach K and Larry Brown could not do better with this roster!!the numbers speak for themselves.

So those great coaches get us 2 conference wins! Wow!! That moves us to 275 in kenpom! That is just great. You cannot make this stuff up!!!LOL!!Yes they could. They'd win a game or two and the defend the hell out of the opposition so every game wouldn't be a blowout. Would they be over .500? No. Would they have more than 2 conference wins? Unlikely. But better than this disaster? Absolutely.

How many wins BIG guy?Sure they would. Mike Rice won with less talent here.

There's no sense of urgency with Eddie. Does he know HCs are out recruiting today? Is he? Or is he shopping for another sharp suit for game day?
So if Corey hits the foul shot against Illinois and Ru beats Minnesota in the finale, he gets 2 wins as well. So where is the improvement?You stated they would not do betterr. They would. These coaches would coach circles around Eddie. Don't move the goalposts on your statement. Eddie is not the guy. He won't be next year either, even with a full roster.
