I don' think MAC is the problem. I liked Dambrot from Akron who might be too old now. It's pretty clear everyone thought Donahue was going to do good enough to get one more year so Bates wasn't hired with the idea he'd have to make an immediate decision on hoops.

If you've ever dealt with these people, it's this.

UCLA's Athletic Department CFO is a BC grad who got his start BC.

Was basically fresh out of college and spent a year at BC before moving to a higher end P5 conference program where he is now doing fund raising. Said that the hire was coming out of the MAC come hell or high water and when Christian emerged as the club house leader a couple of Big XII people reached out to warn them that it would be a really bad fit and that Bates dismissed them without circulating the reports.

Jibes with what I heard from a friend who is a big TCU booster who told me that they reached out to some BOT people they have business relationships with to warn them about Christian and that they were shocked to find that they (the BC BOT folks) had no view or input into the hiring process.

I don't think JC is a bad coaching, he's just not the right guy to fix this dumpster fire.

They need to hire someone with name cache that kids will come okay for. This is the reason Pat Skerry and Mark Schmidt are terrible ideas. The kids those guys currently get would get absolutely blasted night after night in the ACC.

The fact JC has 3.5 useful players after 3 years is really bad. And no, Turner and Chatman are not useful players.

JC never coached in the Big XII. Why would anyone there have made a comment?

That's right, he failed miserably at TCU before they switched to a Big Boy conference. In fact he left because they were switching to a Big Boy conference.

Serious question - in Jim Christian's 89 games here, what is his best win?

in 2014-15 he beat providence who lost in the first round of the ncaas. he beat harvard who lost in the first round of the ncaas. the best acc win was over nc state, who came in 7th place out of 15 in the acc that year.

in 2015-16 he did not beat a team that made the ncaa tournament.

in 2016-17 auburn? who is in the bottom half of the sec. providence? who is in the bottom third of the big east. cuse? who is in 7th place out of 15 in the acc.

just incredible futility. the guy cannot leave soon enough.

and what do we have to show for it?

robinson can definitely play. bowman can definitely play.

turner im nearing giving up on. he has the body for the acc but nothing else. popovic maybe?

what a fucking shitshow.

Seems Eustachy has also fallen victim to hurting the feelings of special snowflakes. Have to think that Daz wouldn't be able to survive in many programs beyond BC and the service academies.

This. The word at TCU, which filtered around the Big XII, was that Christian wet himself and self-identified himself back to the MAC at the thought of having to coach against some actual basketball powers. The notion Bates hired him to coach at a school with a far smaller appetite for athletic success than TCU to coach in a conference that is superior to the Big XII.

In fairness I think Bates still has no idea we play in the ACC

If he didn't want to coach against "actual basketball powers" then why did he accept a job in the ACC?

to buy himself a bigger mac paycheck once he gets fired here

I think today's news pretty much insures JC is back next season. The team is clearly not getting better and we have how many open scholarships for next year?

I think next year was the show-me year for Christian either way

so as long as he bare minimums, like ts slaughter did, he will be here for as long as he wants to stay...

He hasn't shown an ability to bare minimum yet, unlike slaughter, who has proven he can get to 7 or 8 despite sucking. Probably tougher job for Christian, but he isn't going to coast on what he is doing right now.

to your point... what is bare minimum for a basketball coach? i'd say making the tournament is above bare minimum so what is the mendoza line for h00pZ?

is 0.500 fair? beeker got to 0.500 and that still felt like a failure so i'd argue 0.500 isn't good enough (but i've been told throughout my life that my expectations are too high).

0.500 in conference seems to be too high a bar so maybe just a flat out 0.500 for the season. he's not making that this year. and, to your point, i'm not so sure he's making that next year either

Mendoza line in the ACC in hoop this season would have been 17-14 (7-11). 3-4 more OOC games was easily doable this season. However, 5 more ACC wins is kind of a stretch, although they certainly should have gotten to 4 or 5 total.

Look at the roster next year. How on earth is he getting to .500?

the question all of us have is... which one is the catcher of the eo coaching staffs

The only guys over 6'6" on next year's roster are Popovic and Reyes. That is terrifying

How many open scholarships do we have for next year?

I think he needs roughly 7-8 wins next year not to get fired, but that estimate is dependent on things like how well he's recruiting and if we have a bunch of injuries as well

.500 at BC is extension territory as we all know

edit to answer question: it's 4 open scholarships next year AFTER you count Kraljevic as a filled scholarship. There is a 99% chance we have a 5th year at either the 4 or 5

I forgot about the 180 lb Euro kid who they expect to be ready to play the 4 in the ACC. Good luck with that

7-8 ACC wins will absolutely keep him. There is no way he gets there
