    This is basically just a way to brag on my kid, who sat with us for about six years when my dad was still alive (and 11 years since). This was my surprise Christmas present, just installed last month. 

    However, for any other fan offspring, Father's Day is coming up... :)

    Joe, that is awesome!!!  We just finished SLU 101 for my daughter who will be a freshman. I can hope that I am so lucky to have any of us remembered/honored in this way. 

    What happened??

    I must say that Ford was extremely impressive in interviews. His references were excellent from some of the most highly respected folks in college bb. He is known as a tireless recruiter and this year in the top RPI conference he had a team decimated by injuries, particularly his star senior point guard--great shooter and scorer and leader on the court. But even then his team beat Kansas. I am very excited by this hire but I also know that we need to be a bit patient. I am confident he will do a good job. No one can know how good until we see how he recruits to SLU and see the team on the court. He is still only 46 and he has a lot of energy. I hope everyone gives him a chance.

    As a longer term fan than almost anyone on this board I would suggest that there are about 8 posters who are constantly negative no matter what happens, even if the team plays better. No one knows better than me that we have been up and down in our play. It is those constantly negative posters who have put this board to sleep. Why would anyone want to say anything positive when they know they will just be attacked?

    He should be on the hot seat. Last year was pathetic after all of the recent success and I really have no reason for optimism at this point for next year. Will it take 3-4 seasons of sub .500 basketball for people to think we need a new coach? I have higher expectations than that.

    We were 3-15 in conference with 2 OT wins. There better be improvement.

    Buncha jackoffs here, the guy who started thread: especially. Sure constructive criticism is welcome but some of you are an absolute embarrassment.

    • Majerus was a great coach, his illness and it's timing left the program with a severe gap in talent, recruits were reluctant to come to a team with that uncertainty
    • Crews first recruiting class was last years freshmen, that is final.
    • Last year things went badly, team chemistry was effected by some bad apples.
    • Last year we had one of the very youngest teams in D-1, no upper class leadership.
    • Last year a good 9 man rotation could not be established, most no one could sustain consistent productivity long enough to do so
    • Six freshman from last year have the potential to be strong contributors, 3-4 of them especially

    Sure I question things, why TF didn't we blow out those 3 foo foo teams in The Bahamas, Ash, all of that... well we do not know the whole story, do we? Nagging injuries, discipline, maybe Coach wanted them to just have fun since the season is going to be so grueling. I trust him.

    You are a fool if you think we can do better than Crews. Majerus was great, but he came here magically, it was pure luck. For once we got a break.

    Give Crews a chance before throwing your hissy fits. .

    Agreed

    Might be fun to have a running thread for this. Or not. Who knows.

    To start though, does JC keep his job if we finish .500 or worse? Is this even a debate to be had?

    Conversely, is anything better than .500 a lock for him to return the following year? I'd think so, with our administration.

    Unbelievable. SMDH

    If Crews is trying to figure out the back end of the rotation then he needs to be fired immediately. In what universe do we have the luxury of figuring out the back of our rotation? I could give 2 sh1ts about how much our 10th guy plays. Let's get our top 7 guys playing like a well oiled machine. They're going to dictate how many we win or lose/. Crews has rarely figured out the right rotation at SLU.

    Especially during those two NCAA tournament runs and top 20 rankings... :D
