i guess this thread is therapeutic for many of you, and i get that, but the reality is it's just wasted keystrokes. Listen, I don’t know if you work for the school or what...but you have two posts of the same thing. So either bring something to the table or, as has been said before around here, ‘kick rocks’. I can't help but think of a couple of posters who constantly regale us with their same three posts over and over again. All for fresh ideas. Give the rookie a little slack.

I’m under the belief that whomever that is signed up to do one thing. If they want to hang around and keep doing it for six months, have at it. My guess is they’ll disappear.
Continuing to tell a community that they just joined that they’re wasting their time isn’t an acceptable practice.

Continuing to tell a community that they just joined that they’re wasting their time isn’t an acceptable practice. Why is it unacceptable? The community should be able to take someone's contrary opinion shouldn't they? I've been telling people hear for a long time practically the same thing yet everyday we get "can't we raise the tuition fees?", "can't we tap the endowment?", etc.

If they came with substance, I wouldn't be so perturbed.

I thought about that - but in his first post he said, "There's no disputing dr g deserves to be fired, especially after these past 2 seasons. last year's team had ncaa tournament level talent. this year's team should have been a nit lock. it's criminal that neither team made the postseason." Maybe Brennan? Brady? Bloom?

Yeah, saying “nothings going to happen this year” is different than “you’re all wasting tour time even talking about it.” It’s a message board. The very purpose is to discuss things. It’s not like we’re gonna discuss potential new coaches and come to a consensus and make an offer. Nothing we talk about really “matters.”
To me, what that guy posted would be along the same lines as telling me not to create a game thread because the game is going to play out the same whether we talk about it or not.

Listen, I don’t know if you work for the school or what...but you have two posts of the same thing. So either bring something to the table or, as has been said before around here, ‘kick rocks’. i can assure you i don't work for lasalle and never have unless you count work-study. not sure what makes you think that. i'm just a disgusted on and off season ticket holder for many years. but i've been reading this board as a guest only for a long time so i finally decided to open an account. but if posting something similar twice warrants a warning from the moderator, then there are lots of people on here who do that repeatedly that have never been singled out. can't figure out why it upset you so much. my opinion is based on posts by 3 people (hideaway,jellybean, and glitter bro) who all seem to get some inside info. with the school's current financial situation and the recent revival of the dr g extension thread indicating it was a 7 year extension, that would mean there are 2 years left on the contract. there is no chance lasalle or a booster will write a seven figure check to part ways with giannini. so my opinion is discussing potential new coaches now is a waste of time. hopefully it won't be next year. if that upsets anyone, sorry, but it's my opinion which is based on info provided by people i believe to have some inside knowledge of the situation. i'll just go back to lurking rather than be censored.

Stick around, but acknowledge that showing up and telling a community they’re delusional is a bad start.

“Don’t repeatedly say the same thing unless you’re taking our side and turning every thread into Giannini bashing” should probably just go under the rules section.

“Don’t repeatedly say the same thing unless you’re taking our side and turning every thread into Giannini bashing” should probably just go under the rules section. Oh pound it. Guy shows up and says "You're all wasting your time." Twice. If you can't understand why we'd react to that, and why that's different than just disagreeing with us about a Coaching change (which again, I don't think most of us actually EXPECT), then I don't know what to tell you. Like I said, using that logic, every post on here is a "waste of keystrokes" because it's a message board of fans. Again, I'm not looking to chase anyone off, but as a poster, I have a big problem with how that guy came out of the gate.

Odom was already a hot name at UNC Charlotte. In regards to Lyles, that's the balance a coach needs to find with their guys. It's not always a bad thing when a guy waives a coach off - you have to trust your players. They see things on the floor in real time that you don't. Lyles can certainly be a handful at times, but he's matured a lot. Odom completely changed things in his first year at UMBC (which was last year) as they were a dumpster fire. This for them is the fruition. Lower level conference but again strengthens my argument that a program can be turned around within 2 years by a good coach. Odom should look to move up after the season, win a game in NCAAs and he’s definitely getting plucked. Odom turned them around in year one. Absolutely amazing watching them last year compared to the prior year. Also, he came from a Division 2 (Lenoir Rhyne) to UMBC. They now have a new arena (started playing there in February) so they are set up for success if they make a good hire when he leaves for another job.

I caught the 30 for 30 about Calipari this morning. It's amazing what a coach can do. In his first head coaching job, he inherited a UMass program that had 10 straight losing seasons and had won only 18 games in the A10 in the prior three seasons (we've won 20), and within two years had them in the NIT and back in the NCAA tourney in 4.
I know people hate Cal, but he could recruit and built that program into a powerhouse for a bit. Why not here with some young hotshot assistant who's hungry and wants to make a name for himself?

I mean, he cheated every step of the way. But sure. Meh - only had one year vacated by NCAA at UMass. And it was the final four year. And he had his Memphis NCAA runner up year vacated too. He's a cheater 100 ways around. He's paid recruits tens of thousands of dollars, fudged Derrick Rose's SAT tests, and was literally sued by Memphis' season ticket holders because of the crap he pulled.

People like to say he cheated and they bring up Camby. Camby was not a burger guy, and Cal got him. The violations occurred apparently his junior year. Padilla and Travieso were underrated. Bright was a burger guy that's it. Guy can coach.

Derrick Rose was cleared by the NCAA for his SATs - they looked into it before clearing him. They cleared him. Cal played him. They then changed their minds.
Coach K cheats (Duhon and Boozer) but the NCAA looks the other way despite evidence because he's the golden boy. He's the class butt kisser.

I mean, he cheated every step of the way. But sure. Meh - only had one year vacated by NCAA at UMass. He's realized at Kentucky that he can just be blatantly obvious about taking the student out of student-athlete. His favorite class is always his next one, because the current superstars don't return. He can definitely coach, but the way that he's avoided personal punishment despite a history of questionable decisions is fascinating.
