General Basketball Thread for 2024-25

Recommended Posts

Slow paced offenses are a thing of the past.  Virginia winning the title a few years back extended its lifespan a bit but it is time to move on.  I'm looking at you TOWSON, Rutgers, VA.  Bennett even was quoted post game "We've got to look at things, certainly, from a system standpoint."

Yeah, throwing up air balls for FTs and just an anemic offensive system. Towson and UVa folks...sigh

Not an apples to apples comparison because it’s football but even Nick Saban eventually relented and changed his offensive philosophy years ago to be more uptempo because he knew his offensive system was falling behind and becoming passe. The game had changed and evolved.

Pat Skerry is a relic from yesteryear but he’s so enamored with his own philosophy and approach he’s willing to sabotage his own program’s success to try to prove it still works in today’s game.  Tony Bennett got the wake up call last night…..meanwhile, Skerry is still asleep at the wheel.

Siena fires their coach that had ONE losing season in his first 5 years. Including 2 regular season titles..

I gotta say being an old timer that I see what 2012 has been saying for a long time now.  The days of coaches just have winning records is not enough anymore.  
Bobby Knight in 6 1/2 seasons never finished higher than 3rd in the Big 12.   This is not the early 2000’s.

If you were a betting man, which is more likely to happen first?…. 

Pat Skerry takes Towson to the NCAA Tournament or Pete Shinnick gets Towson back to the FCS National Championship Game?

Is there a 3rd choice?
