Right didn't papi predict 5 guys would leave we had 2 - AC and Rogers. I believe the fewest in the conference. Now it's still May but chances are those will be the only 2 since the transfer without sitting out window has passed. Lots of new challenges in men’s d1 basketball. Carm comes in and has to deal with Covid, Pitino and new rules, finishes 1,1, and 3! Why are there folks criticizing him? I see a program that is gaining traction which I have not seen in a long time. I’m okay with the criticisms, I guess I don’t understand many of them. Go Saints! I really don't care about the style of play, but despite the Maac wins the team is currently among the worst in the NCAA according to objective measures. Too boot, fair or not, no non-conference post season play. On top of that, ticket prices increased at least 10% this year, higher than inflation for a product that many people including myself do not find entertaining enough for the money. Carm has a lot of work to do. |

Carm has a lot of work to do. I think you may have contradicted yourself. You started by saying that you don't care about the style of play...but then you say you don't find the product entertaining enough for your money. So what's not entertaining enough? Is the product only entertaining when they win or are leaders in the nation in several statistical categories? That would be the definition of a fair weather fan - which I don't believe you or most here to be. As for ticket prices, even with a 10% increase you upstate guys don't know how good you have it. I invite you to come down here to NYC to watch any sporting event at any level for some pricing context. I believe Siena season ticket prices started at $75 in 21-22. That buys you 3 double cocktails in Madison Square Garden - you can forget about about even stepping inside the building for many single sporting events for that amount. On the collegiate level, season tickets for St. John's start at $508. Manhattan season tickets start at $150. If I resided in the capital region, I would gladly purchase season tickets to Siena hoops for myself and my basketball fanatic 7 year old every season regardless of what the team is like. It's a fantastic entertainment bargain. |

It's a fantastic entertainment bargain. Entertaining enough is winning games against quality competition. No contradiction, and it's pretty easy to figure out by my post. To each is own though. |

What does any of this have to do with Sveinn Birgisson? Nothing to do with the thread's topic. Every topic is being hijacked. Look at the board to get updated info on a topic and get disappointed by unhappy people's stream of consciousness posting on Whatever is on their minds (not a damn thing to do with the topic's heading). |

I guess we are not paying them enough. But seriously I think the topic of Sveinn birgesson has run its course for now. He's from Turkey and nobody had ever heard of him till two weeks ago. |

How many remember the good old days ? We had a Sports Info Director(Dargenio was once in that position.). That was to keep the fan base informed. We need to pay more attention to our fans
