The long and short of it is Skerry is not a good basketball coach. He ahs had 13 years to win something, even if it is by accident. His offense is dribble for 20 seconds, throw up a bomb and send everyone to get the rebound. His defense is mediocre, but it is a story of keep telling everyone it is good and sooner or later they will believe it. His teams are good enough to beat bottom feeders and every now and then another mediocre team. Fundamentals are lacking and basketball IQ has not improved once the talented kids arrive. These are all responsibilities of a coach. These kids have potential, but it needs to be developed. During 13 years, the TU coach is overpaid and under productive. It is sad to see. When the hallmark of the 13 years is good coaching PR....you are in trouble.

You are in the minority....VAST MINORITY......pretty easy to schedule your way to extensions. WIN A GAME THAT MATTERS........SOMETIME......ANYTIME....WIN A GAME THAT MATTERS

Poorly

I know that Bob Rotella came and met with our baseball team!

CT's interior defense.....blocks...changed shots..... were difference makers as well tonight

In conversation with fans/potential donors/just plain Towson Folks, the prez job is to talk up all about Towson and its teams/coaches, etc. We will see what happens when the rubber meets the road. 2027

Could not agree more with you.

There is much truth to what you say. There are a few exceptions to your rule. Some coaches love the idea of planting a seed and watching it grow. I think a good example is Bill Coen at Northeastern. In my opinion, he is one of the finest basketball coaches around. He has been at Northeastern for 17 years. His teams have won conference championships and gone to NCAA. He has been Coach of the Year and should be a desirable coach. The "seed planter" is a rare coach, but nonetheless they do exist All in all, you are likely right, but there are those that it is not all about "The Big Time". If you get one of them, you are a lucky program.

Why would he go anywhere. He has it made here. Does not have to win yet gets extensions....some made public, some not. However, we must admit it is difficult to build a program given the NIL and Portal situations when you are on the short end of the finances. But, maybe that is why he gets half a million...top overcome the obstacles.

Assuming TU beats Elon, How do the tiebreakers stand among spots 3-6?

Adjustments need to be made mid-game...not only at halftime. Watching the Delaware game and seeing the poor rotation for 3 point shots, it seemed as though there were no mid game adjustments to force Delaware to make changes. As much as it sounds repetitive....it all comes down to coaching. Especially MID-GAME, without predetermined substitutions.

Outstanding analysis. However, I don't like prearranged replacements. I would rather see how the game is going....tempo...shooters being hot or cold.....with the subs making the lineup stronger based on how the game is both being played and being called by the referees.

How does that contract extension look now?

Great defense last night

I agree with you on much of what you say. I enjoyed watching the Ravens beat the Niiners, Dolphins, Lions, Seahawks, etc........, but turn it around.......if Towson loses to all of the CAA teams during the season and then wins the conference championship, PS gets an extension for winning the games that really matter. May be right.....may be wrong, but this is the way of the world. Enjoy the moment, enjoy the win, but realize the Towson games in january, and february are nothing more than exhibition games. The win over Charleston and 10 cents gets you a cup of coffee at your local read's Drug Store.....(you have to be a certain age to remember the context here....lol)I know I am overstating, but in the end, that is what this really is.

I understand that the team is now playing better than they (Towson) have in a while. The players seem to be doing well. You may view this as negative rather than realistic....but as Ravens fan currently know......winning in the regular season is nice and enjoyable, but you are judged by what you do in the post season. If this team maintains and wins the championship, then there is something worthwhile to celebrate. All you have to do is read about a player going from MVP on a Saturday to (according to Stephen A. Smith) a choke artist in 24 hours. Just the way sports works.

Make each player, in practice, make 6 (or any other given number) in a row or the entire team has to run 10 suicides.........peer pressure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it ain't March yet

I actually think that with the talent on this team, they would win more games without this coaching staff. Let the guys get together in time outs and work out what they want to do. The players have talent. The coaching staff does not.

I admire your optimism. You deserve tons of credit!

This basketball program even knows how to screw up the narrative when they have a big win........disgraceful

Love Skerry's quote that he appreciates the opportunity..........I GUESS HE DOES....considering he has not earned it and would not get it anywhere else........SINCE APRIL.......ARE YOU KIDDING??????????

There is only one stat that matters. The rest are ammunition for the coach to use as his contract expires.

That may be true regarding the Olympic sports that receive no funding, but for a sport that gets serious funding, winning is the goal....ask PS...he will tell you he does not get an extension for graduating players.....we ain't Harvard. If he went 30-0 and did not graduate a single player.....he would be a folk hero.

If only your disclaimer were a part of the job. BUT..................................................
