Message: [QUOTE="Fishy, post: 2613374, member: 38"] There’s no part of this that’s acceptable. We were just blown out of the 8-9 game in the American Conference against a team that had gone 1-8 without its best player. We are legitimately a terrible team - for the first time any of us can remember, there may be more teams better than us than are teams that are worse than us. We’re not even an NIT bubble team. And we might very well be worse next year. I have no idea what Benedict might want to hear in his post-season player/coach interviews, but there’s nothing that can be said that should offer any justification that the current staff should be here next year. Nothing. Well, nothing except, “Pay me $10,000,000.” If the money is too large a hurdle, there’s nothing that can be done about it. It is what it is. Toss an assistant over the side and bring in a competent coaching assistant and tell Ollie that his job depends on him listening to that person - if we have to go to a figure head system like St. John’s where the head coach just has a great seat at the games, that’s fine. Whatever’s going to be done, just do it quickly. There may be players who will want to leave if Ollie’s fired and there may be players who will want to leave if he isn’t - best to sort that out quickly. Next year is going to be enough of a disaster already without having to fill gaps in July again. I was going to do a report card for the year, but I’m worried about my “F” key surviving the exercise.
