If they fire him we probably lose a couple freshmen and maybe all the recruits, plus the instability would probably make recruiting harder and hiring the next coach would probably become more difficult because they already want to hire guys on the cheap anyway.

Please don't try to defend your boy losing to UMass Lowell.
I like you as a poster.

Corporal Funishment {l Wrote}:The team was very very obviously going to be awful this year and that was clear from the day JC was hired. Starting next year is when the team has to show improvement, and they need to get steadily better until they can go .500 ACC. Failure to meet these conditions is what will get JC fired. I will point out once again, however, that aside from the apparent upgrade in athleticism and the optimism from certain board members notwithstanding, JC is not recruiting at a higher level than Don did his first two years. It all fell apart for Don after the Hanlan/Rahon recruiting class when the team failed to get better and he became unable to pull good recruits - for reasons that have been rehashed many times. Will JC follow the same trajectory? Too early for me to say.

So should we give it 50 games?

- The recruiting is much better than Donahue. These kids had offers from other ACC schools. A BU assistant told me he wouldn't touch numerous kids Donahue recruited.
- The recruiting is still not at an above 8th place level ACC team.
- The Donahue regime fell apart with that god awful Daniels, Jackson, Heckmann class. I could tell he was screwed by halftime of that UNH game. The athleticism was astoundingly bad.
- JC gets a D this year and he's teetering towards a F. He's screwing this team up and it has regressed in the past month
- They're not going .500 next year. I fail to see how you're going from losing to UML and Santa Clara to beating ACC teams. I still think there's something goofy going on with this team and Carter.
Hire MAC coaches for less than $1 million and don't be surprised when you get these results.

Don's first class had Anderson, an all ACC player, and Heck and Clifford, who were serviceable. The second class had Hanlan, an all ACC player, and Rahon, who was serviceable. If Don kept bringing in 1 all ACC type a year and 1 or 2 serviceable players a year, he would have been absolutely fine. His problem was 1. he was building the roster from absolutely zero after his first year and thus depending way too heavily on freshmen (JC has exact same problem), and 2. after the Hanlan class he brought in Owens/Hicks/Magarity the next year (major whiff) and then nobody at all the next year (you're fired). JC hasn't screwed up the way Donahue did by failing to hire assistants who can recruit, which is a plus, but the "come play at the BC turnaround" pitch is going to start to fall flat when we lose 20+ games.

So you're on record as saying Milon, SBT, and Reyes are "ACC players" but Heck, Clifford, and Rahon were/are not. This is either blind faith or revisionist history...

This is it, to revive this program, you are going to need a name coach with the ability to recruit kids that may not otherwise get in. Whiffing on the Nova coach was a HUGE mistake. He could have given us resp[respectability in 1 day. If you dont want to be competitive just tell us and we wont worry about basketball anymore.
