I do not have the time nor the desire to call out each and every one who lacks knowledge on this site. I think my post speaks for itself and most on here know those I am calling out. Instead of them posting as if they are experts on the game of college basketball, know more about the game than Jimmy, know how to coach better than he does, know how to run a college athletic program better than D'Arg, and play them game better than the Saints players, why not state IMO "...". And we all know about opinions, every has one and... Your post is about as substantive as the people you are criticizing. If the program has performed poorly during the tenure of two head coaches it's not unreasonable to question the ability of the AD. In the end, the team record is his report card. This goes for the coach as well. I don't think you need to be an expert to make that analysis.

^^^THIS AGAIN^^^ Our seniors left 14 points on the floor. Thank God for Nico being back or we're getting blown out by them. Says the "real fan". Just stating the obvious. Seniors missing point blank, basically uncontested, layups over and over is amazing. And the reason all the haters are alive and well regarding this season is the 2-3 point games we came up short against our very tough OOC schedule. I guess I expect more from the seniors. It's THEIR team. Good or bad.

That was the whole point of my post Cellar Rat. Glad someone on here got it. I think your political correctness of "unreasonable to question the ability of the AD" is a bit understated given the viciousness of some of the attacks on here. I was just not addressing the comments on the AD, it was also the attacks on the players, the team, the program and the coaching staff too. Bottom line is there are so called "fans" on there that never seem to having anything positive to say no matter what the results and outcome are.

I don't think that is true--- both the "haters" of the players and the coaches often do post positive comments when it is warranted-- these are just ignored because it doesn't fit the agenda of each respective side. If each side would just debate instead of use personal attacks (example your use of "hater") there could be more intelligent discussions on here.

It really amazes me the lack of basketball knowledge on this site. What game were guys watching last? The comments about individual players and the coaching and the teams performance show a real lack of understanding of men's college basketball at this level. There is no such thing as perfection in college basketball. I get it that everyone is entitled to their opinions. However when you post on here as if you know so much about the game and your comments show otherwise, it is comical. Such arrogance with so much incompetence. I guess the good news for Siena College is that when Jimmy leaves (I do not believe that is anytime soon) there are plenty of expert candidates on this site for the next head coach. All have strong knowledge of the game, have played at the college level and have extensive coaching experience, etc. How can you call yourself fans, when all you do is bash the program, bash the AD, bash the players and bash the coach, even after road wins at Iona and Marist? I just don't get it. Well speaking of arrogance - welcome to the club....

I listened to the game on the radio...the Siena announcers pretty much gave the impression that there were many calls against Siena that were bogus...if that were true the final margin would have been significantly larger...does anyone that went to the game have an opinion on that... I watched on video feed. I'm no expert, but I didn't have the impression that the game was called unfairly. What I heard them say was something like this: the whistle has blown on a lot of 50/50 plays with all the calls going against the Saints. Personally, I think the whistle is blown entirely too much on 50/50 plays whether its going after a loose ball, block/charger, etc. If there's no clear foul they should let the boys play on.

I was at the game. I would say that there were "several", not "many", but several really questionable calls that did not go Siena's way. Might have made a difference in the sense that the Saints could have had a bigger lead down the stretch, so even if the final spread was about the same, the last minute or two would not have been as close as they were.

I was there also. I saw two teams playing their asses off, giving their all. It was getting a little chippy in the second half. I felt the officials had to reign the players in to establish control. Overall I thought the calls were not out of line.

Non calls can also hurt. Before the three point shot a college coach told me that a visiting team had to be at least ten points better to win on the road. With the three and the clock I don't know what the margin needs to be today

I watch parts of many games and all of games when there is a local connection(e.g. Iowa, Maryland). I find that the missing of point blank shoots and crucial free throw occurs frequently in the higher level games and is not something that happens only to the Saints. But of course those facts do not fit the narrative here.

I also recall at least one call that went in our favor that was clearly a blown call. Overall I thought the officiating was in line with what you can expect on the road.

It is my experience that the officials take their job seriously, and work hard to call a FAIR game. I know the popular perception is that they give the home team a slight advantage, I tend to disagree.
