At this point he should try coaching from the stands again— would be just as effective.

www.timesunion.com/sports/article/Siena-men-s-basketball-resumes-play-at-Bryant-12436019.phpanother article talking about how "tough" the schedule is. Lets just see where that schedule falls come season end. UA, Vermont, St Bonaventure and a team like Hofstra are staples in the schedule year in year out. What isnt normal is these teams being 30-12 at this point. Having a crappy team like Siena on the schedule helps inflate the win loss total which also helps inflate the RPI and SOS. This is not some insane schedule purposely created. This is a normal schedule with some of the teams doing better than normal.

This is not some insane schedule purposely created. This is a normal schedule with some of the teams doing better than normal. I think you are right in that the teams we scheduled are teams that we’d normally schedule. We just wound up with Bucknell being the Patriot League favorite with 2 senior superstars, FGCU being the A-Sun favorite with 2 senior stars, College of Charleston being the CAA favorite with a senior Core, and Vermont, Albany, and St Bonaventure all being teams that should contend for their conference title. In many years, many of these games would have been more like the Lehigh game (playing an upper-tier team in their conference but not someone expected to Dance). That said, it’s still the hardest or second-hardest schedule in the MAAC and Siena has scheduled that way for awhile. Siena doesn’t play 4-5 buy games against completely unbeatable competition, but they consistently play teams that are top 100 or so in the country and don’t give themselves gimmes with D2 games or several MEAC/SWAC/NEC teams (even this year’s 2 NEC teams, Robert Morris is 6-5 and beat Rider).

Nothing wrong with that schedule,it’s right where it should be for a mid-major that is now in the “5th year of a major FIVE YEAR REBUILD, that was put in place by the HC when hired. When FGCU Bucknell and UVM are embarrassing you and not just beating you, you have major issues. Those are not BCS programs. It’s one excuse after another.

Gimmes with D2 games? We lost to a D2 team didn’t we? There is no such thing as a gimme game for this team. The schedule is not the problem.

I wouldn’t expect it last year or the year before when you are playing juniors and seniors. I would hope not to see it this season, but more talented and older teams do that to you. So should every mid-major have a top-50 toughest schedule in the country when they start 2-3 freshmen and 1-2 sophomores?

Oh I forgot, exhibition games don’t matter, ooc games don’t matter, it’s all about the Maac; and then the Maac tourney, right?

I personally don’t worry too much about games that literally have no bearing on anything, provide a “Super Bowl-like” opportunity for a D2 team with 9 seniors, and are the first college games for our kids. Not to mention that if you were scheduling a non-D1 regular season game, you wouldn’t schedule a top 20 D2 team.
