What you wrote is true.
Most everything I write is true. People just find it unpleasant because the truth is unpleasant.
A new coach even coaching 3rd grade makes plenty of mistakes. Often things happen. Trust me foady- coaching in NYC- something happens every day. As a coach you learn from them. You learn from experience. If you try you get better. Plenty of bad coaches coaching youth sports.
In the spirit of comity I will not drive a truck through that generous opening.
This is big east Basketball. All of the other coaches, EXCEPT ours went through this. All of them spent years learning how to do this. How many more beat downs do you need to witness before you believe?
Believe what? That Mullin's learning on the job? Of course he is. That the results have been disappointing? Of course they have. That Mullin's completely over his head and if he's a real man he should quit? I think that's just silly.
A few years ago I said coaching is hard. You mocked me. It is not hard like brain surgery. It is hard in that their are plenty of long days . Plenty of issues like periods or Lovett’s. Plenty of nonsense you have to deal with. Coaching in NYC is often thankless. It is often free.
Fair enough. I didn't consider that you meant it was grueling and thankless. I'm sure it is, as are most jobs. That's why they call them jobs rather than ice cream cones or rainbows. I thought you meant it was intellectually taxing. Which it can't be, because blockheads like Jim Boeheim and Bobby Knight are in the hall of fame for being good at it.
Coaching in the big east is reserved for the best.
The best Jerry, the best. Like Norm Roberts, Jerry Wainright, Fred the Moleman Hill and the great Steve Lavin. The creme de la creme.
Those coaches have the best facilities
Right, like Carnesseca Arena.
What has our staff done as COACHES to deserve their jobs?
In a general sense I think that most people shoud get what they deserve and they should get it good and hard. Other than that I don't really know what you mean. Mullin is a HOF player and the face of the program. That's what he did to deserve his job. Matt whatever has a track record of success as a recruiter, that's what he did to deserve his job. I don't know what Richmond's job is but he seems over qualified for it.
Question: do you believe that only people who are trained or experienced in one aspect of a certain profession can be successful at it? That eg only someone who has coached before can be a successful coach? If so, can you explain how William Shatner, a amazing actor, went on to a great career as a singer? How Lenny Dykstra, a centerfielder, went on to astounding success as a financial advisor? How Donald Trump, a game show host, is making America great again as president of the United States? The fact is that people can be good or bad at one thing and then later good or bad at another. Norm was a great assistant coach and a lousy head coach. Bill Rafferty was a great player, a bad coach and a great broadcaster. Billy Martin was a mediocre player and a great manager. There is not one path to success and - and you might have to sit down, this is pretty deep - one path can lead to many different destinations.
Guess what if you coach girls CYO and don’t play any defense you will lose. If you coach girls 6th volleyball and are not prepared you will lose. If you coach Jv Basketball and you let your your volunteer assistant run practice you will lose
That's probably true. Just as is the opposite. That you can play good defense and lose, or little defense (Paul Westhead, Tim Cluess) and win. You can not prepare and win (See exhibit A: Steve Lavin). You can let your assistant run practice and win (see exhibit B: Mike Dunlap).
Trying to insult me won’t change any of this. Even if I am dumb as you say.
I'm not trying to insult you and I don't know whether or not you're dumb. But you say a lot of dumb things, many of which are the opposite of the dumb things you said the day before.
These 3 years have been an utter failure.
Utter failure is a little harsh. You're forgetting that the great Federico Missini once led us to a glorious victory over hated rival Syracuse. The most of it though has been less than pleasant, I won't argue that point.
