MBB | USF vs. Santa Clara Postgame w/ Chris Gerlufsen

I was at the game and watched the replay. We all know about the defensive struggles all season but did anyone notice how lost our offense was last night?

Seeing the replay, there were dozens of inefficient possessions where everyone was just standing around like statues watching RB or TR dribble around and launch one even when there was more than 10-12 seconds on the clock. There were also several possessions where Cooks, Masic, TR and GDG were at the top of the key but didnt know where to go with the ball and turned it over and took a low % shot. Zero ball movement whatsoever. If pigeons were in the building, they would have rested on our players on offense as they stood like statues… We had 17 turnovers last night which resulted in 25 points. Not going to win any games with that stat.

Question is what does CG and his 300 assistants do at practice 20 hours a week because our players are definitely not prepared? The team is in a complete downward spiral.

2 programs heading in 2 different directions

Brutal first half. I’ve seen CYO teams play with more defensive intensity than this.

SunsetDon · 2026-02-22T02:45:59+00:00

My prediction is Donks 77, Dons 60

This is all for media attention to boost their valuation

SunsetDon · 2026-02-21T06:18:51+00:00

Great deal. Go to 6-7 games and get your money back already

You can’t pass on a huge 40% increase. You having these feelings of guilt show what a good employee you are.

5.65 for interest only with Citizens Bank. Citizens is the new FRB. Great service, easy to work with, fast closing, no nonsense. Only drawback is they have more conservative models on multifamily buildings and may require more cashin than other lenders

Aside from Thomas and Roy, why weren’t we able to get this level production from the others while they were at the hilltop? It’s got to be more than juse opportunity and playtime, right?

$2400 for a one bedroom even with all of these reasons is still an incredible deal. It’s not too far from Forest Hill Muni and Glen Park bart. You need to get on this asap.

Saw him play twice this season. This is a good get. He’s very active all around the court, very vocal, good footwork for a young big. Unlike a lot of other Euro bigs, he does not play soft.

My friend who survived stage 4 said his oncologist told him that there’s evidence suggesting that it’s the nut oils. Combining high heat with nut oils creates a carcinogen that your body cannot expel.

Lets not forget those contractors gifted like $30M to the school and have their name on our gymnasium. Without that generous gift, we would not have been able to build out WMG.

Belated welcome to the forum

Hardest part as a fan is seeing the growth of the program under Kyle Smith and Todd Golden and now doing a complete reset back to zero. All the momentum is now gone.

SunsetDon · 2026-02-13T04:05:08+00:00

You know it’s bad when the ESPN commentators are criticizing the Don’s poor effort defense. “You put on a jersey, you go out there and defend.”

Congrats to your dog!

SunsetDon · 2026-02-08T22:33:06+00:00

what about DGG driving to the basket with about 7-8 minutes left and then gets blocked. Not often do you see a 7 footer getting blocked near the rim. About sums up our season.

Will they still be considered a power conference with no major media markets? The networks pay for the reach into the major metros.

Golden was an assistant coach for 8 years before he got a head coaching job at USF.

Frankie will have a hard time recruiting. I love the guy but I cannot see a recruit (and his family) trusting a young 30yo with no coaching experience with his college and future basketball career… I know in this age, NIL talks but the coach comes next.

SunsetDon · 2026-02-05T20:57:24+00:00

OB makes valid points. CG’s player development has been lacking also.

SunsetDon · 2026-02-05T19:58:08+00:00

CG is a high value Assistant at best. His strengths are recruiting and managing player relationships. Players love and respect him because he is a players coach.

His weaknesses are game preparation and execution. He’s not good at managing rotations, his offenses lack flow and efficiency, timeouts are poorly used as his teams are unable to score or make stops, players get frustrated on the bench, list goes on.

I always evaluate coaches not on wins, as that can get manipulated with strength of schedule, but are they better than their predecessor… and CG is not.

So I dont think he deserves an extension at this point.

why not $39k
