LaSalle stole SLU's defensive playbook.
102....wow.
-
Play guys who can score the basketball. We're long past thinking that there is going to be any defense played.

@willie Thought Hall Monitor, please review below for compliance:
Just want to go on record as being anti-rape or rape adjacent. So we're all agreed no coaches that are rapists, were rapists or coached rapists.
But also did you notice the schools' settlement for multiple sexual assaults was less than Ford's buy out?
I think the national debt may also be less than Ford's buyout too.

Terrible idea.
Really really hard to recruit athletes when guys get raped in your program.
I guess this also disqualifies Dave Bliss.

Rich Grawer is available. May was looking at Spoon and Majerus but was told they’re dead.
He wanted to follow up with them because they’d be cheaper, and maybe they could get some sod on the baseball field along with putting up lights.
A cardboard cutout of Majerus would have a better record than Ford this year.

So is most of Division 2 at this rate.

The department could save some money for a buyout by declining their spot in the A10 tournament. Every dollar helps.

I missed when the announcers were talking about the losing streak. This is SLU's longest losing streak in how long?
10-11…was that Situation 1?

I'm honestly done with piling on Ford. He's gone. I almost feel bad for him. The attention now needs to move to May, Pestello, boosters, etc. They have to get the next hire right. They have to.
I think it's more important long-term to get Chris May out of St. Louis.

Of course, but that was a NCAA caliber team and that was my point. That season was the biggest disappointment because Ford had indeed built a Top 25 team - The team was living up to expectations as they cracked the Top 25 at the end of the non-conference season, and then the COVID super spreader happened in late Dec - that's on Ford, we've been through that. He proved he could build a Top 25 caliber roster which most SLU coaches throughout history have been unable to do, which is why there was justifiably optimism.
Yes, it was NCAA caliber hence the disappointment. More or less came down to the first game after Covid losing to LaSalle. Even with the "break" that team should have made the NCAA.

So you don't think Goodwin and French's last year when they had a number 1 seed in the NIT and lost in the first round to an 8 a disappointment?
That was the year that should have been an automatic firing

This whole season is capitulating. It wouldn't make a difference if we forfeited all remaining games.
The only thing that matters is firing Ford.
If the Bills forfeit every game it's only a bunch of 2-0 losses instead of blowouts. Plus it saves the university money for road trips.

Cian getting a lot of respect on the radio broadcast.

Does he get to do the firing? Just line up May and Ford and do the throat cut motion
Or the Gladiator Thumbs Down.

It's not a question for me. Roster construction is absolutely a weakness of Coach Ford. If you don't have a fixed offensive scheme, then you at least need an offensive philosophy. Ideally, how are we going to score? What is plan B if our first option is taken away? You can't just continue rolling the dice and fixing the gaps in the offseason. You'll invariably find yourself in a situation where you're sacrificing defense to fix offensive problems.
Let's say Coach Ford survives the season, fixes the defensive problems and we make the tournament next year. What happens the next year after the seniors graduate? Since there is no discernable offensive philosophy, then it's another 2-3 years of recruiting the best player available and hoping the pieces fit together. What's to stop us from being right back here when the pieces don't fit?
Coach Ford is making his job a lot harder than it needs to be. Just pick an offensive scheme and recruit accordingly. Now that NIL allows teams to replace half their squad every year, coaches who can plug players into a scheme have a distinct advantage over coaches who don't.That is part of what made Rick so good. He recruited guys to his system...and he demanded excellence of execution.

If only we had Parker back
Parker's back scores 21 SLU loses by 24
This dude could have Lebron James and he'd F it up
He could put the 1996 Bulls in the lottery.

Down 21. Face it, Travis can’t coach good players. mediocre players, bad players, any players. I feel bad for our players. I don’t think they are bad.
The players seem to be an island of mismatched toys.

It’d be cheaper than the buyout.
