He was at the bottom of the league for 7 or 8 years, or so it seemed.<br /><br />His teams were not good to terrible from the free throw line, and he couldn't coach big men.<br /><br />Hoib is correct, and we all felt the same way about his wife's fight with cancer and ultimate tragic passing at a very young age. As one of our own, we wanted Jim to succeed for sure, but..........<br /><br />And it ended badly and I thought it reflected much worse on him than it did the school.<br /><br />The longer SD is allowed to hang around, the uglier this will get - potentially anyway<br /><br />Will Mr. Bates risk such a scenario?.<br />Big Jack Krackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202172743722727956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-47011294803583692882014-03-13T16:49:29.816-04:002014-03-13T16:49:29.816-04:00I just came from a meeting - I did not see the g...I just came from a meeting - I did not see the game, but a Clemson fan who did, basically said to me that the coach should be fired for the way he handled the timeouts at the end of the game.<br /><br />And he's done it all year.Big Jack Krackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202172743722727956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-4860024124177040912014-03-13T10:28:54.150-04:002014-03-13T10:28:54.150-04:00Thanks Hoib.

I must have Hurley on the brain as the HS hoops team my brother coaches is playing Bob Hurley and St. Anthony's in the state playoffs tonight.<br /><br />I agree with you about those Curley teams. They were one year ahead of me and I always thought the 91-92 and especially the 92-93 teams under performed. The '93 should have made the tourney. <br /><br />I wonder who else in the ACC will be out of a job and that will affect our search for a new coach? Bzdelik? I guess Gregory will get another year at GT.Mike.Mariniellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08849343877939924618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-36912534173291810372014-03-13T10:25:19.112-04:002014-03-13T10:25:19.112-04:00Donahue used at least 3 timeouts in the last minut...Donahue used at least 3 timeouts in the last minute of regulation and overtime instead of just letting his offense play. End result of these timeouts: 0 points and 3 horrible looks, including a rushed shot by Anderson and a 27 ft. shot to beat the shot clock.Bravesbillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18132085833230451082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-67048400633387347082014-03-13T08:24:34.737-04:002014-03-13T08:24:34.737-04:00Mike.M

He really didn't get it going till he got Danya.<br /><br />Just a little background. I still hope Onahue is gone. Just follow the college hoops page on ESPN and plenty of coaches w/ similar records and tenure are being let go. Not firing him would probably be the bigger story.at this point.

So we run a play and Hanlan gets a 2. Horrible coaching in my opinion. Why so many timeouts when the team is playing well? Save them for when they are not!Smittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013137317291064919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-23929282034059026812014-03-13T07:13:12.079-04:002014-03-13T07:13:12.079-04:00I looked up Jim O'Brien's career at BC.

Not only was he not fired, but they were as bad the next year (11-19/1-15)and he lasted 10 years before taking Scoony and bolting for Ohio State. <br /><br />I guess it is different times and mostly a different AD (Flynn - though Chet did come in right around when they started to turn it around with Hurley, Huckabee, Howard, G. Abrams).<br /><br />Do not get me wrong, I think Donahue should/needs to go.

BC can always do with intramural coaches and officials.

Ha...Honestly ATL, this entire team needs a re-boot. Hanlan would be missed. That's it. Rahon and the rest are not ACC players. Heckmann is a sub and effective when he stays aggressive. I honestly can't believe Donahue thought these guys could win ACC games. Sounds harsh, I do appreciate the effort, it's still there, but to so poorly misjudge talent is the worst thing a coach can do. Short of showering in Happy Valley. <br /><br />Like I said in your last post, it's egregiously incompetent. I feel bad for everyone, especially me for venting like this. <br /><br />So yeah, go hockey. CThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05783098791522341665noreply@blogger.com
