2013-2014 Basketball

Louisville may not have scored a 100, but Notre Dame did.  The 101-67 loss drops Cornell to 0-9 for the first time in over a century (the 04-05 team started 0-10.)  Curiously, that team is listed as having no coach, so the teams have that in common too.

I won't be surprised to see a coaching change after this season.

Why wait?

Not even a chuckle?

Change coaches during a season rarely happens.

But, if you're going to change, it can make sense. And just because it rarely happens, isn't a reason for it not to happen.

The practical reason is that your search is limited, as it will be very hard to pry away a quality candidate in mid-season.  Unless the plan is to promote from within, you still have to wait to the end of the season to find the full-time replacement.

Exactly.  Un;ess you are planning to hire the assistant (which I wouldn't expect under the circumstances) you're going to end up with a lame duck interim coach for the rest of the season anyway. It just doesn't seem worth it barring some sort of actionable cause.

The collapse of the basketball program continues.  The Big Red loses to St. Francis 72-62.  The team now has two double digit losses at home to bottom 20 teams (Bingo and StF).  I don't see any way the administration can bring BC back for another season.

Agreed.  A change is needed for next season.

Sad situation. Have to feel sorry for the players and their families.

Based on the tables I saw in the tribune we are the only winless team left in D1.  Ugh.

#1 draft pick though, right?

Probably less funny if you're the player, his girlfriend, his parents, the coach, or the concession stand workers. NJIT ("Newark's MIT") lost 51 straight.
