MJ Dinkins - thanks for your post.
But I think if you are going to yell at players in public - you first have to get to know that player to see if he can handle it first.
Some people are more sensitive than others.
I just wish people would show some loyalty to the staff first especially Richmond.
Unless the person witness practice first hand they should not state that Richmond doesn't work hard through unnamed sources.
Richmond is just learning what college basketball is all about at least give him a chance before you say he is lazy.
He wouldn't became an Hall of Fame Player being lazy.
You're welcome.
I agree, it's best to see whether a player can handle being yelled at in public before continuing to do so. I've always been good at learning the personality of my personnel, and then handling things, accordingly.
I don't have an issue with Richmond, and he's good for recruiting, as SJUFAN stated. I believe some people get ahold of a term, and in this case, it's lazy, and run with it. I'm not targeting Baldi or anyone else, but just speaking in general. If it fits their narrative, then that's what it'll be in their minds.
Maybe, Richmond or the staff isn't lazy. Maybe, they aren't "all in," per se'. Maybe, their style of going about everyday business seems or is perceived lazy, but it's more of a laid back approach. I don't know. I do know at the end of the day it's all about progressing and garnering wins. Right now, it doesn't look like we're doing the former, and certainly not the latter.
I do believe they should move St. Jean into another role, and bring in a veteran college coach next season (if they're still around).
