Almost at the beginning of the season. Does anyone have any reports about how practice is going? I have moderate expectations for this season.

That’s like yearning for the time you had a catheter inserted. Stop it

There's 3 keys to college basketball: (1) Recruiting, (2) Culture and (3) Xs and Os. JC was an decent recruiter, had a disastrous culture, but was a good Xs and Os coach. Grant is so bad in the Xs and Os realm that it eliminates his otherwise decent recruiting and above average culture building.

What all 3 post-Skinner curse coaches have in common is that they took a “this is the year where it all comes together” roster and ran it into the ground. Steve (DO)nahue’s 2013 team fresh off making noise in the ACC tournament was maybe the worst coaching job I’ve seen at BC. Jim Christian took that covid year 2020 team with a lot of talent and won 3 or 4 games. Earl’s flat tire season is 15-12 as it stands, which is head and shoulders above the prior two. He also hasn’t lost the locker room yet, which Donahue and Christian did officially in those seasons, and much much more demonstratively. It’s too early to call him a dud for me. Hire an X’s and O’s tactician. Nerds should be everywhere, shouldn’t be hard
