RUBillsFan Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 This is interesting to me because didn’t Reynolds transfer from SLU after Ford was hired? I mean I get that after spending 2 seasons under Crews he wanted a change of scenery, but kind of funny to “wish” he was there when Ford was coach.

3star_recruit Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Crews should have brought in the high IQ snipers he won with in his peak years at Evansville. He wanted to run motion but brought in ball dominant players and players who didn't move well without the ball. You have to coach who you are.

NH Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Looking back there really was a decent amount of talent on those rosters. Yarbrough, Reynolds, Bartley, Roby and Bishop all ended up being decent to good division one players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majerus’ system made players look better than they were. Would Majerus have even recruited Lancona? Maybe he would have, but I question it. I will disagree somewhat with your latter statement. I think Majerus was a genius who could put players in position to succeed, but I don't know if I'd say he made them look better than they actually were.

Old guy Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 As far as I know Lancona has not done much in terms of basketball since transferring out of SLU. However both Neufeld and Myles Reynolds have done pretty well elsewhere. This, more than Lancona, places the onus squarely upon Crews. There was ability and talent in the team, Crews just did not know how to get it to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given all of the stuff that has come out from former players who seem to dislike Crews, it is pretty amazing that he was hired full time in the first place and that he kept his job as long as he did. Reflects very poorly on Chris May, IMO. I'm not saying players should always love their coach or the AD should take the opinion of players over the coach, but yikes.

Rickma was dead when Chris May chose to give Crews the full time job (after his interim season) and then it was Chris May's decision again not to fire him after his first awful season once all the Majerus players graduated. I know you hate Majerus, but I'm not sure you pin the Crews years on him. Heck, Chris May could have overridden Majerus' choice (if Crews was really Majerus choice) and made Whitesell interim coach instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually that emoji is a I told you so emoji. I’m guessing Roby tried to tell him to stay, but Reynolds didn’t believe him. In the end Roby was right.
