I know this is going to be an unpopular take, but.... Any one else rooting for them to lose just so people finally see G cant coach and needs to be replaced after this year? Nobody actually thinks he can coach. Really? Then how would do you explain him being here for 13 years?

I thought I'd never say this, but THANK GOD I HAD TO WORK LATE TONIGHT!!! I just got home, checked the score and as the late Jim Nabors would say.."Surprise, surprise!" And yet, it's not a surprise. It's the same old, same old with Master Coach G. We lose to a team that is down to 7 scholly players one of which hasn't played yet this season. What will be the excuse du'jour? Tired from the flight back from Ireland or a little rusty from not having played since Saturday?
Seeing the same poor results virtually every year no matter the talent level points to one thing, a bad coach. The only consistency to La Salle men's basketball is inconsistency. That and consistently bad coaching.

Nobody actually thinks he can coach. That isn’t true.. There are a few posters that thinks he can.. speaking for myself, but I know there are others, that just get tired and worn out trying to talk to those people.. So the worst, most dangerous, thing happens.. You become disinterested..

You know as well as I that this is the product of former President and former AD writing a silly contract extension for a guy who lucked into a Sweet 16 appearance at the exact, right time. They bought it hook, line, and sinker, and now we're paying the price.

He in-game coaches below A-10 level and recruits above La Salle level. It’s the same equation it’s always been.

I agree with what your saying, but now its time for the new people in charge to correct those previous mistakes and replace G after this year. After tonights loss there are no excuses for him to be our coach in 2018.

I’ve noticed Bradshaw monitoring many games with notes in hand. I think he will make the correct decision.

But you gotta imagine Brennan gave him some stupid favorable terms - Buyout: 10 Bajillions Dollars.

We paid for G's daughter to go to Drexel at our expense... not the ROI we expected. He has to be terminated now. GTFO. Donnie is our coach starting today.

I don't know why we didn't call a timeout, run the picket fence at the end, and have Duke Gola take the shot.

Awful! Very descriptive of tonight's game.... Will never root for team to lose but becoming more disinterested all the time. Truth be told, program is a joke ! Harsh perhaps but reality under a truly mediocre head coach. We trailed entire game at home, could not guard anyone, and had no energy on the bench, typical ! By end of year, head coach will most likely be 20 games under 500 record after 14 seasons, again what a joke!

Not sure I buy the recruiting above La Salle level reference. I’ve never been impressed with the in-game coaching but I think it’s pretty clear our talent level is on par with Drexel, Holy Cross, Towson and Penn, among others. And that’s with the benefit of our 2 best players being transfers and despite a conference affiliation that is at a higher level than those programs You can’t argue with results. No matter how effective or ineffective the coaching, the team with better players usually wins. In most games, La Salle does not have better players than their opponent, and that has resulted from the lack of recruiting success. lack of recruiting success.

The Cleveland Browns just announced that Hue Jackson (1-27 in 2 years) will be back as HC next year. There is an organization that rivals ours.

Arrived home in Cape May County about 20 minutes ago. Took time to quickly read forum entries. Not much else I could add. The ride from “the Attic” to home is a real drag after a loss, but tonight’s performance was the most embarrassing I’ve seen in a long time and the ride seemed like it was 5 hours long.
If “G” is here next year, I’m not going to be a glutton for punishment.

I want LaSalle and G to win every single game. I never root against them.
2013 happened and I was fooled into thinking G and the program turned the corner.
G did not. We did not.
The sad REALITY is if we stick with G we will get more of the same. A sub .500 team.
Does changing coaches guarantee anything? NO.
Does not changing coaches guarantee anything? YES Another sub .500 season.
Nice guy. Can't coach.

This is the about the 4th time I've heard fatigue brought up, and we aren't a month into the season yet. I don't know if more conditioning and running needs to be done in practice, or the rotation needs to be expanded, or play some zone defensively.... But I'm don't like the frequency in which I'm hearing about fatigue on December 7th.

Every post-game interview features some career-first revelation for Giannini. Like come on, it's Drexel for god sakes. Stop acting like they're some world-beaters and call it what it is -- you should beat them handedly more times than not, and you flat out stunk for the first 35 minutes.

If you look at it objectively you have
1) undermanned team from lesser Conference
2) playing away
3) getting early Big lead
4) being broken down to 2 point lead with 3:50 left
Any decent or better coach takes those situation and turns them into a win. Same thing with the Towson game and first half of Northwestern game. A good coach takes control of a game and produces results. G has been unable to do that in 14 years except for the two where he had a player coach in Ramon on the floor. He can’t have much more of a contract commitment left so plan for the succession after this next season is over and have a plan for getting a new HC and/or force new assistant hires that could be trying out for a year for the HC vacancy to follow.
Have heard blame on Brennan and how B.B. was so great but frankly I see more of the same unless the BOT grows a set and takes decisive action.

G losing these games is not the exception.....it's the norm with him. Every single year G loses games he should win. Temple was a huge win for G and LaSalle but he made up for it with Towson and Drexel. Also it's not only that we lose these games....it's how we lose them that shows that G just does not have the coaching skill to EVER compete in the A10.
When the President, AD, and the BOT analyze G's body of work and how he has been the last few years and over his time here, they can only come to one conclusion. G cannot compete in the A10. Plain and simple.
I know we have a facility issue. But facilities was not the reason we lost to Drexel. We lost to Drexel because our head coach did not have the team ready to play AGAIN.
A new coach may not be able to turn it around.....BUT WHAT DO WE HAVE TO LOSE?

Yeah. If you strip away the Ramon years : G has had two "apex" years in a row. Last year with Price and Roberts as seniors with addition of BJ and Pookie. Ridiculous coaching and I still believe G ruined Cleon with that "should have had him fired" never ending psychological assault tirade.
This year with BJ and Pookie seniors, a senior year center, a senior Amar, and "vastly improved if decent coaching" Phiri and Deas. Then sprinkle in Shuler and Brookins.
In-game and game-prep coaching is one thing. The TOTAL LACK of "improvements in individual game" of the players is something else. I'm also tired of seeing people like Jay Wright and Dunphy act like adults communicating with their players during games in a teaching manner while G acts like a demonstrative child with his arm waving, yelling crap.
