finger on the delete button, Joe? It will be shortly. You go through ebbs and flows of wanting to call people out that you find inferior. Wish it would stop. We're all in this together and you seem to want to make your stupid comments. That's how boards die.

We're all in this together and you seem to want to make your stupid comments. That's how boards die. pot...meet kettle. Seriously...the coming to games was a joke akin to the Office Space line "I wouldn't say I'm 'missing' work" . If it struck a nerve on a guy saying he's not going to miss players he never saw play live, so be it. We all call each other out on here from time to time. Some people seem more able to "take it" than others. There is a disturbing hypocrisy to criticizing players for not being good enough when people don't even show up to watch them after we go ga-ga for them in the recruiting and welcome to La Salle threads. I humbly and sincerely apologize for upsetting the person's feelings who has a headbanging coach as his avatar and will try my hardest to not let it happen again in the future...or at least in the next 48 hours.

"Seeing play live" is a super weird threshold. I'm sure you know that.

Do you feel better now? Because that outward machismo was a weird, weird flex. Stuck a nerve I guess... No, you're just being all weird and stupid for no reason. Bragging about your attendance is the weirdest flex I've seen here, but sure - do you. Somewhere between your picture in the Inquirer six years ago and your picture in La Salle magazine six years ago, you lost your way.

Somewhere between your picture in the Inquirer six years ago and your picture in La Salle magazine six years ago, you lost your way. 1) I never bragged about my attendance. I simply called out the hypocrisy of "missing" players you've never seen in what I thought was a joking manner...because...that's kind of what we do around here. If that struck a nerve in any way, I repeat my humble and sincere apology for hurting your feelings. 2) Explorers are never lost. Let's not forget here that your original post was a cheap jab at the players who put on the uniform and work everyday in practice and the off season to get better and are a part of our Lasallian community. Taking jabs at their expense while simultaneously calling me out for taking a jab at you is a bit ironic, no? To use your words, "That's a weird, weird flex."

For a guy that dresses up as a clown, you need to go back to joke school. I sincerely and humbly apologize for hurting your feelings when you took a jab at our players and early graduates who played a varsity sport for our school, and I sincerely and humbly apologize for my joke at your expense not being funny enough to meet your highly evolved and clearly superior comedic standards.

That's what started this? That was a jab? As a member of a basketball forum, I said I wouldn't miss them. I was talking about basketball, so stop being overly-dramatic.

All of the players were equally talented as any player that would replace them.

I think we will miss Carter. We don't have any guard depth as it stands. I don't want to sit through another 10 win season. Yea definitely rather have him than not. I think we just don't know how much it hurts. I like the guy but his over offensive/defensive efficiency stats aren't great.

To me, his presence wasn't moving the needle enough in comparison to speeding up the install of Ash's preferred roster. Easy to say now that he's gone, though.

No concerns about Carter leaving. We were a 10 win team with him. Part of the reason we were a 10 win team is our point guard play wasn't very good.
Simply, if you want to win in the A-10 you need a better point guard than what Traci gave us. Seems like a good kid and well-liked and hopefully will have an opportunity to make an impact at perhaps a lower level but why La Salle fans are worried about it from basketball standpoint I don't understand.

To me, his presence wasn't moving the needle enough in comparison to speeding up the install of Ash's preferred roster. Easy to say now that he's gone, though. Yea, that's how I see it. It's not that he's a bad player. I compared him to Khalid Lewis. I just don't know how much a player like that moves us forward. Plus, I'm not exactly sure if he truly fitted Ash's system. If we end up losing a couple more players I'll be concerned about next year but from my perspective, we still have the players that a lot of us have more confidence in.

The irony of being told to stop being overly-dramatic by someone who got offended by a post on a free message board and started launching multiple ad hominem attacks at me... I humbly and sincerely apologize for having offended you and taking your comment, "I don't think I'll miss anyone" out of the intended context and making a subpar joke back which did not meet your comedic standards.

As people, I don't really like seeing anyone transfer even if I get it and see the roster benefit.
As a fan, there's only one kid who could transfer where I'd use an outloud curse. The roster is fluid.

Sorry I launched multiple attacks at you. I hope you'll survive. We're better because you're here to defend the world from honest opinions about La Salle basketball.

I graciously accept your apology. I thank you for your caring and concern regarding my survival. I am sure I will survive as I don't take anything on here seriously, so your attacks never really hit the mark, unlike mine for which I sincerely and humbly apologize that my words hurt your feelings.

Seems like a good kid and well-liked and hopefully will have an opportunity to make an impact at perhaps a lower level but why La Salle fans are worried about it from basketball standpoint I don't understand. Man, do I disagree. So we should get rid of our entire roster too since they also contributed to a 10 win team, right? I'm not trying to be argumentative but why does that thinking only apply to Traci? Because guard play wasnt good? There were a lot of reasons for only winning 10 games, Pretty sure it wasnt just guard play. Traci leaving surprised me most. He played a ton of minutes last yr and definitely had a role on this team moving forward. Plus does he have to sit out another year for transferring? I heard good things about him being a leader especially vocally. That goes a long way with a young team. I really hope this wasnt Ash pushing him out. More Traci wanting another fresh start.

He's a grad transfer, no sitting out. If he's looking for another shot at the tourney in a major conference's bench rotation I can't blame him one bit.

For a guy that dresses up as a clown, you need to go back to joke school. Did you actually take a shot at someone ( who was supporting the team along with another alum or two) who brought some spirit and media exposure to the school and MBB program during the Sweet 16 run?

Everyone needs to calm down.
No one hating on Traci Carter. We are probably splitting hairs on how much a lose Traci is. We all agree we rather have him than not and all wish the best for him.
Also, a lot of us contribute to La Salle some more so than others. It's all good.
