DuchesneEast {l Wrote}:Maybe not the admins who put up with TOB's WTFs but I know everyone here would be pissed. I like AL, I like screaming Skinner!!!!! like superintendent Chomers. I like some of our guys because they wear the maroon, but it may be time for Al to move on. He has done great things, some big wins over the years, but sometimes its just time to move on. A fresh face, inject some passion into BC and AL where ever he lands. I never understood why the team wilts against the press, why we cant run an in bounds play and why people cheer that Skinner doesn't put the hours in that others do. Al has the 3rd most ACC wins since we joined the conference but we were also bailed out by Smith and Dudley blossoming into stars,
If BC lost to Kent State and Northeastern this year, would anyone hear put up with it? Al has done the equivalent. Barring a miracle ACC season it may be time to move on. He may have it in him but this team has got to have passion and blow teams like Maine out. I dont see Al having Passion.

Either geton or get off the sitpot. I would have my list ready and Pearl would be at the top. Think about it. He's an alum, is at a Fball school and has to play 2nd fiddle to Pat Summitt. Not to mention the recent actions of his players. Let's get this guy. I know one thing. He will bring enthusiasm and bust his ass to make BC great.

Since this thread is confined to this season, I don't see your point. This season has been disastrous, not mediocre. I've defended Skinner for a while but this season is hard to defend. I refuse to call for his head until the season is over, but so far this season has seen a lot of red flags, not just upset losses.

We were lucky Smith and Duds became NBA 1st round draft picks. We had 3 1st round picks and couldnt make the final 8.
And before you bitch about Pearl's admission standards being nada, Skinner has had plenty of problems with pot tents and kids jumping from windows. UNC has standards and their kids stay mostly out of trouble so it can be done.

What?
So UNC can win multiple NCs with a clean program, so everyone not achieving that should fire their coach because "it can be done". Gee thanks.

It took 4 years of bullshit before anyone wanted to fire TOB. Jesus, the comparison is fucking retarded, even if you ignore the levels of success and the fact that basketball is an entirely different animal.

We all realize the sports of basketball and football are different. But please explain why saying Al needs to go is different than saying TOB needed to go. It's the same damn thing, it's accepting medicority.

There has been one game this year that really matters. BC won that game.

eepstein0 {l Wrote}:I'd like to point out that the post TW put above is the most sensible thing I've seen written on this board, even if I may disagree.
This program is not progressing with Skinner at the helm, he's gotten it to this point but it's not going forward at all. It's simply staying where it is or going backward in the case of this season. Winning between 8-10 games in the ACC and then losing in the first or second round of the NCAA's, which has been a pattern here for about the last 5 years, isn't the true upside of BC Basketball.
We need to get someone in here to take the next step. Unfortuantely, with Gene at the helm, that's not going to happen.
