Are the options limited to Donahue and retaining Skinner?

Well, I am all about hiring the best coach. My only point then and now is that Skinner had earned the right to see if he could turn that whole thing around with Jackson, Sanders, Paris, Southern, Dunn, Raji, Ravenel, Heslip, Noreen and Papa. A collection of talent we would beg to have on the team right now.

therefore, as of today's epic "sky is falling" it's a push

No.

I'm not really following. Would retaining Skinner have been better than the current disaster? More than probably. Would it have been better than not retaining Skinner and hiring someone who recruited the occasional player who looks as if he can bench press his own body weight or jump more than half a foot off the ground? I don't know, maybe.

Again, if your point is that Al Skinner is not the absolute best coach in the world, I won't argue with you. To follow my point, you need to realize that all I am saying, then and now, is that he didn't need to be fired in the first place. I have always conceded that there are coaches out there that could do better than Al, and mistakenly thought that the Don was one of them. I just didn't think Al deserved to be fired, period.

change "period" to "yet" and i agree with you. i think al deserved one more year with "his guys" to try to perform. if he sucked again, then there's the door... but the timing didn't feel "right."

I agree with that. I didn't mean "period" as a length of time, but as in "absolutely" at that time.
joemack13 {l Wrote}:I don't think many people disagree that Skinner deserved another year - everyone was surprised by the firing. That being said, I thought it was going to be good for BC basketball in spite of being an unsavory way to handle the situation. I haven't given up on the Don, but it looks bleak. If everyone's healthy, maybe he'll be able to field a decent team by ACC play... he needs to. I'll still be concerned about next year - it seems clear that if we don't bring in a big next year, we will have a 3-man rotation of Anderson, Clifford, and Odio... and nothing else. That's got to be a fireable offense

Almost everyone here wanted Skinner fired.

Yeah, 20-0 and ranked 4th in the country is really a sign that a guy can't coach. Thanks for playing.

yay cherry picking! this guy coached 650+ games, 2% of that sample neither affirms nor denies he can coach
mrs skinner, i'm not agreeing or disagreeing that he can coach but your evidence doesn't prove anything

Anyone that goes 20-0 in the Big East of yore can coach period.

What about 2-13 in a shitty ACC in year 11?
