What happened with Keyshawn Hall?

I'm just not understanding the indefinite suspension angle. Hit him with 4 games then bring him back (I know this might happen). If he doesn't play again I want that money back at least.

frick that skip practice and you don’t play. NIL you are a “pro”. Act like it.

But that’s not all, was very disrespectful to a coach and a support person as well. What the disrespect was I’m not sure. Just know it’s not something a coach can overlook.

Yeah just skip out of work and see what happens and be disrespectful to the wrong person.

This is the type of stuff you are going to have when the HC is not ready for prime time. He didn’t get the job on merit and it’s clear that the players don’t respect him. Steven should have taken the Samford job last year, cause that’s about the level of coach he is right now.

It’s happened in the past Bruce just let it go on. Steven won’t.

wonder to why now?

Why did Hall crash out now? End of the season with it teetering on the brink of going off the rails. Usually the time players have a crash out if they are going to have one. Doesn't excuse it but it happening now isn't curious to me. SP's ability to keep the team gelled if things started looking like the wheels may come off was definitely a concern I had going into the season.

I think it is worth noting too that the entire rest of our staff is still the same. SP is obviously captain of the ship and rightfully gets the lionshare of the criticism for how we've looked as of late, but It isn't all on him. Either these guys did absolutely nothing while BP was here or it is obviously more complicated than SP just sucks.

How is Steven’s situation different than Durkin’s in football last season. Both inherited a roster with its flaws and thrown into the fire. Planned or not if this team looked like a definite sweet 16 and conference contender Bruce wouldn’t have retired.

That’s why I say Steven should get 3 years. Year 1 not his roster first year head coach. If we make the tournament that’s a huge win for the program. Year 2 need a sweet 16 type team to keep your standard going. Repeat in year 3 and start again landing some top 50 recruits and we are off rolling again.

Why dont you focus on finer details like "that isn't Steven's defense"

You cant because it's not true.

How is it Steven’s roster? Was the rosters for years prior Steven’s rosters as well?

Yes it’s Steven’s Defense. Only real difference is we have to play under on screens, have to play drop coverage on drives, then when the opponent gets in the paint the can go up with no fear.

Generally we play over screens and through them. We play man up forcing teams farther away instead of playing drop. Because if there is a blow by there should be backside protection plus a shot blocker at the rim.

So yes it’s exactly the same defense but working around roster limitations. Plus our defenders kind of suck just in general.

The players are making the same defensive mistakes since November. That is shitty coaching, especially from our supposed defensive guru that is. now our HC.
