[crackpot]

Just got through listening to the basketball webinar. The world’s largest elephant in the room…never mentioned once from what I heard.

I want that hour of my life back.

In summary:

• coaching college basketball is HARD. You should be grateful we're taking the time
  
• You should be grateful for KP
  
• Donahoe isn't paying attention and/or thinks we aren't
  

He said Lara was the only freshman to leave. I guess Carly doesn't count? And that all of our incoming freshman are nationally ranked. He thanked us for our questions but didn't answer one.

Haha. That was an excellent summary of the high (low?) lights. I wrote a lot more on the paid board, but yeah, nothing I heard today moved the needle for me one inch. In fact, at times I felt vaguely insulted. The AD reminded me of Alan Alda's character in 30 Rock (Jack Donoghy's biological father). A nice enough, likable guy who's way too easily taken in and has no absolutely zero zeal to attack a problem with specifics, credibility, or a game plan.

Can someone explain to me the benefits to be gained from having Donahoe, in a public forum such as this was, throw Paye under the bus given that the decision to retain her for next season has already obviously been made? I entirely agree that Paye should have owned up to the problem, rather than making a number of comments about last season that would have caused Pollyanna to roll her eyes, but I don’t get the piling on of Donahoe at this point and how him being openly critical of Paye would make things better for the team, recruiting, etc

What WOULD make things better for the team?

That was one of the questions to which I wanted an answer. Instead, no questions were answered. To even start off saying that we could put questions in the chat and they'd be answered if there was enough time was disingenuous. 

Isn't this why he gets paid the big bucks?
