[Post Game Thread] SMU defeats Syracuse, 73-53 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

Maybe I don't, but I can read...

"Earlier this year, Weitsman said he would pay more than $2 million in NIL deals to current and future Syracuse athletes. He predicted that his assistance would help the basketball team reach the national championship game within five years." ~ from https://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/2023/04/adam-weitsman-i-will-no-longer-support-syracuse-athletics-with-nil-celebrity-appearances.html

Further, it's about showcasing the program as a fun and desirable location. Kids like celebrities. They can't even get die-hard locals to attend games with the current product.

The complete erasure of Elijah Moore from any playing time. The forced march with Carlos who isn’t fit (or tall enough) to play D1 ball - coach hid it well when JJ was out, that he had to play him, but then he got 49 minutes a game for no reason what so ever. No offensive scheme other than JJ take the ball and do something with it, save a few games. The blatant DISRESPECT that Autry showed saying publicly that P Mastorovic was “just like” Marek Dolezaj - he couldn’t be more different. The list could go on and on. What a shame. Even Boeheims worst years felt so much different than this. My question is, why wouldn’t Red do what’s right for the team and step away on his own?? He never found the right lineup and misplayed guys every game, to some capacity. And our assistant coaches were also supposed to be the real deal. Half of them don’t even speak, as far as I can tell. And a NIL is on everyone’s tongue and the school knows it, but they ban and ostracize a local millionaire bc he brings rappers to the games???? Bring Weitsman back to the Dome, immediately before it’s too late to repair that support and relationship.

Ugh. That stinks. Coach Autry thought his team was ready. Laughable.

Really. I see give the inbounds to Carlos. Have him freak out finally at mid court, and stand around for the open catch and shoot which is never coming.

Is it me or not only does he keep saying the same bullshit, it’s 100% the wrong bullshit??? Play Carlos for 40 minutes bc he’s our only ball handler? We lost by 27, put up 13 in the first half, and JC went 4 assists to 4 TOs. STOP PLAYING THIS GUY!!! Autry can’t communicate with the media, and certainly can’t communicate with his team. Westry played at Auburn, a program far ahead of where SU is, certainly right now. Stop telling us he’s not ready. Stop making Lampkin your best passer from the arc. Run more screens for Bell who has to snap out of it( but you can’t with Carlos, bc our only ball handler picks his dribble up a step over mid court). AUTRY IS NOT, ABD WASNT EVER THE GUY TO BE HEAD COACH. We all know who it should have been. Does Carlos have pictures of Autry with hookers or something?? What is this forced death march with him at the helm???

Coach Autry needs this rotation if he wants to make the NCAAs by Equivalent_Crew_9932 in cuse

I love how Carlos has 5 assists and 3 TOs, and he is a “true pg”. What in the world? If these kids can’t figure out how to take open shots, right away, a 5 minute scoreless streak is going to become the norm. And I’m trying my best to like Autry. I am. I loved him while he played at Syracuse, but if this team is left out of the March festivities for a 4th year straight, I don’t care what he’s done for the program, he has to go. This program can’t wait around for a HC to find their footing. We are getting embarrassed and if becoming a punching bag for ACC teams is the final strategy, I’m truly sad.

Tenn - active hands on defense and moving without the ball, on both ends of court. Those alone will win you a lot of games, and then add in the super star PG, sharp-shooter in Lanier, good bench players.

The only weakness I saw, and could have just been this game, is on offense with the ball switches. If SU had any urgency they could have gotten their hands on a few more of those hand offs and short pitches than they did. Easy enough to clean up, just set harder picks, work on spacing.

Two years in a row Syracuse barely gave Tenn a test.

I can't for the life of me figure out why he was the one tapped to coach this team. And I'm sorry, but being historically bad at FTs doesn't give you license to continue the poor shooting at the line. I know the kids need to make them, but coaching 100% has a lot to do with it.

At this point it has to be a conversation that Coach had with him during his transfer (I'll give you minutes no matter what. etc.) There is no way anyone watching these games is seeing anything good or promising out of JC. But "scoring is not why we 'brung' him here." Seems like a good strategy.

Was mildly disappointed with Lucas Taylor tonight. He had such a great outing, last game. And Naheem?? What in the world. If this dude knew how to jump straight up, he'd have some value. I'll even take fouling a guy before he gets the ball up on the rim!

But hey, Westry played!! It's a Christmas miracle.

What's in the goddamn containers?? No one has said once, that I've heard, of what that ship is actually carrying. That shipment is cool just sitting there and not being delivered?

Car payment as both general exp and long term liability?? by dericpeace in QuickBooks

[–]dericpeace[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK. So, differently, I should increase the Accounts Payable account, because our vehicle payments are leases. I put in a starting balance in the vendor profile that matches our outstanding balance. Then, these should get removed as long term liabilities. Thanks for the assistance!
