Unfortunately for Jim, he can't go full Pete Bell from Blue Chips and have boosters buy all his players. Because everyone can buy players now, he can't really cheat to get back on top. That being said, if he has another Laurie Fine on staff, he could bring in another championship!

Yeah, it’s going to take more than a tractor to bring in a recruit capable of turning this mess around.

No, those are options #2 and #3. Apparently, Nate Oats is going to go on a 10 day meth bender; which will lead him to leave Alabama (riches AD in the country) to take the reins up north.

Actually they’re 4, 5 and 6. 1, 2 and 3 are Brad Stevens, Billy Donovan, and Jay Wright cuz why not at least try (personally I think there’s a lot of merit in not getting publicly humiliated by even the mention of going after them).

I hope they end up with Matt McCall (who couldn’t answer the McCall at Umass). That would be the ultimate icing on the cake.

If Brad Stevens didn't "return home" for the Indiana job after they fired Archie Moore, I don't think he is returning to college, let alone Southern Canada. He has settled into his role seamlessly in Boston's front office, and I don't think he's leaving in the near future.

If Stevens leaves a NBA front office job for any college coaching job (and as you said, let alone Southern Canada State), I would be worried about a stroke or early-onset dementia

Agreed. He was still coaching when the Indiana job opened in 2021. He has said he loves Boston ("I am a 'Masshole...'") and enjoys his current position.

The first indication I had that he is not returning to the pro or college sideline anytime soon was when he did not re-assuming the Boston bench following the Udoka suspension.
 
Either he leaves after this season in which he flat out sucked or he leaves within a couple years where they wont be any better. As Michael Scott says, thats a win, win, win, Everybody wins.

Syracuse and those fans get no love from me. Burn baby burn.

A small quibble, in recognition of a harmless & mildly humorous error, in case you or others aren't aware of both with the famous name.

Archie Moore was a helluva boxer:

Archie Moore - Wikipedia

or otherwise...

The namesake of a handful of CT wing joints

About — Archie Moore's

My derision in this thread is reserved exclusively for Syracuse Men's Basketball, and offered entirely in fun (mine). It's a liberating contrast to my general distaste for such a point of view directed toward UConn Men's Basketball by some of its own fans, especially during the season, and after painful losses.

I don't need Syracuse to rot in a place with a bad reputation. They just seem to be giving us an awful lot to work with lately, and allowing my id to use this thread as a dog park supports me in being relentless in boosting positive energy toward the MBB and WBB teams May they both reach their highest heights during this very absorbing and uniquely challenging double season.

Dementia would be the only believable explanation

Newton hit two three-pointers from at least 30 feet last night. Playing zone in this era is about as smart as an NFL team running the 4-6 defense or an MLB team going with a 4 man rotation.

Seems many of his threes are from really deep. And every time he lets one fly I yell, "No!!!" And then invariably he makes it. So I will keep yelling "No!!!"

I appreciate the humor when you guys joke that we should root for Boeheim to win a game or two or else he”ll be gone but rest assured, they are regardless.

A Reddit user was fawning over next year's Maui Invitational field. 4 of 8 teams currently in the top six, 6 of 8 in the top twelve, etc. Kansas, UCLA, Purdue, Gonzaga, Marquette, Tennessee... It will be an impressive field if those teams continue their success to next year.

The final note in the post- who are the other 2 teams?

...Chaminade and Syracuse

Gotta provide some cupcakes for the real teams to beat up on before the marquee matchups?

And the exodus begins . . .

That’s not exodus. That is a guy who can’t get off the bench on real bad team that is going to go to the appropriate level for him to play at. He’s just not a high level player. He’s doing them a favor freeing up a scholly. If and when Edwards or Mintz enter portal we can start with the exodous celebrations. I can’t wait! :-)

Speaking of cellar dwelling, a loss to Wake tomorrow in combination with a BCU win over GT drops them to tenth in the ACC final standings, moving them to the graveyard of despair that is the first round Tuesday of the ACC Tourney and an opening match-up with Louisville. Fun times in South Canada.

Oh man this is totally possible lmao

Short version of my much longer post above is that they could lose to Wake, get bounced in the 1st round, conclude the season with 6 straight losses, drop to .500, and escape without a second consecutive losing season.

So they would be trending in the right direction. I think they have the right coach for the future of the program
 
Today has a chance to be an epic meltdown . Today at the dome, the 2003 National Championship* team is coming to celebrate the 20th anniversary. If Wake Forest comes in and ruins that party ( Syracuse is a one point favorite) I may die from an overdose of schadenfreude.

The game is at 5pm and a perfect lead in time killer for me to get invested in while waiting for what seems like an eternity for our 730 tip.

From 5-7 tonight I’m an honorary Demon Deacon.

* title should’ve been vacated
