Holy shit that's an alarming sign.

twballgame9 {l Wrote}:Christian definitely did not underperform at Kent - other than compared to the one year that his current assistant coached there.
I'm okay with Schmidt, too, but he's not going to be coaching rings around anyone anytime soon. The Bonnies won because a guy channelled Ty Rice and was nailing 30 foot jump shots all night for 47.

longdistanceeagle {l Wrote}:I could care less whether any of you believe what I have posted. My only purpose here has been to inform people who care about BC basketball information that would be of interest. As I stated previously, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I probably should have kept my mouth shut about TCU since I could never tell the story. Why he left there is of no real consequence at this point. He is currently the coach at BC, so the past really is irrelevant. Argue away about who is better, or who did what, or whatever it is that strikes your fancy.

Saying JC underperformed is not being fair, but ots just not apples to apples considering what each guy did vis-a-vis program expectations.
I know Dick has beat the dead horse on this one a few times (and now I am too), but I don't think anyone who doesn't follow Bonnies basketball has an appreciation for what Schmidt took over there, and how rare a season like this is (and given they made the tourney in 2012, what a "run of success" this qualifies as.)
Again, Schmidt inherited a program that had, IIRC, 20 wins in the previous 4 seasons. A school where the president of the Board of Trustees KILLED HIMSELF because he thought the school was going down with the basketball scandal he allowed to happen on his watch. This was the dregs of Division I basketball. The only thing that makes anyone think of that job as anything better than the worst of the worst is it actually had some rich basketball history 40-50 years ago, well beyond many other mid-majors. But that was all a big footnote when Schmidt got there.
This year they have set a school record for conference wins, won 20 regular season games (despite playing fewer non-conference games than most high or mid major conference teams because teams don't want to play at the Reilly Center) for the first time since 1977, etc. This is a big freaking deal, even if Schmidts overall record doesn't stand up to JC's. Even if its a one-off (and its really not, if you consider how the program has stayed relatively competitive the last few seasons - playing competitively into the weekend at the A-10 tourney the last few years, etc.), its impressive you can ever do this at Bona's. This wasn't even supposed to be a good year, with Ndoye graduating to the D-League, no post presence in house ready to replace him, and the recruiting class all falling into more of a "project" status than being ready to contribute. They timed that purposefully it appeared with 2 transfers that are sitting out. The only actual expected new contributor, Stockard, has sat the entire season out with injury - if he had been healthy and contributed some scoring from the 3, this might've really been something.

Because Eddie Jordan has had more years.
I think Illinois football serves as a more fundamental reason for why we shouldn't entertain replacing either Christian or the Daz just yet.
