    If we know what is coming late in games you know the other teams do too. Over the last 3 years we have seen 21 losses where we had the lead in the second half (several double digit leads like against Wichita State). I wonder where this team and program would be if Gregory didn't get tight late in games.

    That is true as well.

    Yeah, CWT pulled it out of the fire there, but to his credit he actually made changes to survive and then thrive. Can't say the same thing about Strong or Gregory - they are running that playbook and won't ever change - ever. Being ahead of the curve is indisputable fact for those astute individuals.

    Ugh you spoiled the movie for me. Was planning on getting around to watching it 30 years later.

    Astute observers of leadership and coaching ability, were ahead of the curve with Strong are likely ahead of the curve with Gregory. The rest of the herd is usually a year behind. Great context for everyone regarding Heath. We essentially were playing in the greatest basketball conference of all-time. Now we can't even get to .500 in C-USA 2.0

    You are confusing affection for attachment and attachment for a lifetime contract.

    +1,000,000 Did we ever hang a banner for winning the CBI?

    This had Gregory's fingerprints all over it again. The stalled offense, Collins to the basket one-on-three. In the last 3 years we have blown 20 second-half leads (this was #21), so in this game Gregory doesn't pull him out (if Collins indeed was growing rogue) or he went back to the one-play playbook he has late in games. If you watch the replay, you will see its the later. Everyone spreads the floor, Collins comes to the ball and everyone spreads out. Its a designed play. This is on Gregory. He routinely gets away from what work the first 30-35 minutes of games and we wind up coughing up the game instead.

    Totally agree about Durr - he has shown the ability to play with his back to the basket from either block, and if he can knock down that 15 to 18 footer he has a shot to play at the next level.

    Heath's (and USF's only) 2 NCAAT wins at USF > anything Gregory has done here, including a 3rd tier post-season tournament that included wins against Stony Brook, Utah Valley, Loyola Marymount and DePaul. And looking at where we are today, that CBI championship was never a spring board to anything else. The NCAAT is the destination. That's how many see it.

    Naming rights for a team nobody cares about won't get you a nickel. To really generate revenues you don't hire Leavitt to be your HC, you hire Leavitt to be your AD and you will see a new era of bold and dynamic leadership that will generate interest and donors in our program we haven't seen in 10+ years. We need someone willing to head butt a facemask, wall or office cubicle, and show that when that glorious cut on his forehead opens up it bleeds green and gold.

    His last 4 drives to the basket resulted in a blocked shot, blocked shot, wild shot off the backboard that didn't catch rim and an offensive foul. We all knew that was the only play call Gregory has for the last 3 minutes of games, Wichita State knew it too. Everyone knew it. Blame it on Collins if you want - they guy is a flawed player - but the decision to continually put the ball in his hands late in games is Gregory's decision. For everything Gregory has done for the program, its probably best for everyone to move on.

    Morton Plant Hospitals and the Heimlich Maneuver present USF Men's Basketball!
  14. bjef4844
    Not good? Or not good by USF standards?
  15. bjef4844
    If Gregory is back then it doesn't matter who else is back. If Gregory is back then it doesn't matter who else is back.

    Are we moving to the A-SUN next year?
  17. bjef4844
    I guess Gregory's only play late in games in Collins to the basket, and nothing else....ever.
  18. bjef4844
    Collins' last 3 shots haven't even caught the rim.
  19. bjef4844
    Collins' last two takes to the basket have been with 2 seconds left on the shot clock and they were both blocked - maybe don't run that play again.
  20. bjef4844
    Actually more on the defense - have to close out on 3 point shooters.
  21. bjef4844
    If Durr can knock down that 15 to 18 foot jumper he may have a future at the next level with his size.
  22. bjef4844
    12 point lead gone.
  23. bjef4844
    Gregory has shown he has the ability to build teams that can dominate quality programs, and has also shown the ability to undo all of that with terrible coaching late in games.
  24. bjef4844
    Waiting for the four corners offense with Collins driving to the basket play any minute now.

    Collins doing his best Derrick Sharp impersonation to start the second half.
