How could any thinker conclude that we will lose again this season?

Ain't we the best?
BC once attracted stars like Abrams, Adams, Agbai, Austin, Bagley, Barros, Bell, Curley, Driscoll, Dudley, Eisley, Evans, Huckaby, Jackson, McCready, Murphy, O'Brien, Rice, Smith, Williams, et al.

Those days are gone.

And who is responsible for that?

What were Bates and the BOT thinking when they hired Christian? That they'd need a new BB coach had to be at least a very probable contingency before last season began. But the cheapskates apparently didn't see it that way. Which was a devastating mistake. On the evidence, that Donahue finally got fired seems to have been a close-run thing at the last minute. Whatever the timing, it should have nonetheless been clear at that point that an impact hire was in order if one hoped to compete in the ACC -- and thereby get anyone -- fans and recruits -- to come to Conte. Half measures don't do it. If you're not in it to win, why bother?

Sure, we can all hope that Christian gets it turned around, but it will be slow at best. And, based on what we see so far, unlikely to get us much beyond mediocre, if that. If you can't get elite recruits, you are not going to be able to compete with those who do.

Hope I'm terribly wrong, but I don't see this season turning out any better than last. As for waiting 'til next year, Lord Keynes put his finger on it: in the long run, we're all dead... Already, a whole generation of BC students will have passed through without a hint of 'αἰὲν ἀριστεύειν' on the court.

I'm really upset with my alma mater over this. And, the blame goes higher than just Bates.

Anyone referring to that nitwit as Lord Keynes, whilst quoting him in a basketball post, should check in to McLean's immediately.

Who could possibly care how Keynes is referred to? It's the point he made. Addazio made the same point a couple of times this season after losses: those L's go in the record book permanently; they don't come back and get revised; those possibilities are closed forever. In other words, hope for the future in no substitute for victory in the present.

I got your overarching point, Professor Keating. I was only commenting on the fact that we don't have Lords in this country, where capitalism actually works and Keynes doesn't.

Several were close, but only Epstein was on the money with 13 wins (Buzz Williams comment notwithstanding).
This concludes the 2014-15 season of basketball message boardery. Let us immediately commence the 2015-16 season of basketball message boardery with 4 months of huddling over grainy video of 17 year olds dunking in poorly lit high school gyms, and cryptic twitter updates about our coaches watching AAU games!

Since the actual basketball games aren't very fun, this is my favorite season!

I thought Buzz Williams could coach, I was very underwhelmed

She likes this too much, and I figured I'd let her practice against people bad at it before letting her use money.
