Last three strong classes? Last years class strong? Not quite. BC, probably his last year, but If you don’t pickup a big in a hurry, going to be another long winter on the hill. Thus far BC has brought in ONE good class. Our rising juniors.

Perhaps aware of shortcomings (though perhaps not as severe as some here seem to believe), but they also have a blind spot to his strengths.

Joe, that'd be me. But don't take what I said out of context. I said that we need to win the league next season for there to be any consideration of keeping Carmody. Do I think there is any chance of that? Not hardly. But, then again, did anyone think we'd win in his first year after the disastrous regular season results? [trot out the Jim Carey clip "so, you mean there's a chance?"]

Rinse.
Repeat.

Still hard to believe that a team with the 4th best overall record in the Patriot League finished 10 in the League standings. Defies logic especially how the team played OOC. It actually doesn’t defy logic at all. Carmody has not had a conference record above .500 for 17 consecutive seasons. It’s just what he is — a one-trick pony who was good in the Princeton heydays, but who is not up to the challenge of adapting his style, recruiting and building a program to be successful in today’s game.

SoV, Following up on ignoring you. If you can't see them already, saying anything just prolongs the unrelenting criticism.

Difficult to discuss the strengths when there are not many. That's fair.
Here are the three major weaknesses --
- Offensive and Defensive rebounding (ranked in the bottom 25 of both categories). We are probably the worst rebounding team in Division I basketball.
- Getting to the free throw line (our passive, jump-shooting offense rarely gets us to the line). We ranked 349th out of 353 teams last season.
- Defending the basket. Our opponents shot 37.3% 3PT and 52.2% 2PT (and that's with Floyd anchoring the defense). Our defensive effective FG% was 53.8%, which ranked in the bottom 50.
But, we do assist on many of our made baskets, so there's that.

Try Recruiting Ballplayers instead of nit picking everything else the guy does or doesn't do.
Miller, Simmons, Thomas, etc. are not walking through that door with BC as coach. I hope I'm proven wrong, but I'm losing hope.

Have to agree with Tim on this there are a lot of things about Carmody's coaching I don't like but we need to be recruiting better players. Carmody has recruited 13 players thus far not including the incoming class and doesn't have one 1st, 2nd or 3rd team all league player and has had far too many non contributors. If this trend continues the program will continue to flounder.

Thus far BC has brought in ONE good class. Our rising juniors. I'm not ready to write off Wade-Lowder-Pridgen just yet Me neither. Hope they are as productive as freshmen as our rising juniors were.
