What Does Woolard's Silence Say?

SBien= Mac?

You've got to be kidding me.  He was going to clear the air with Henderson before a last minute change of position.  

You don't think he was going to publically decry CRM, and call for change before the season ended, and to the public do you?  The fact he even agreed to this interview initially doesn't bode well for those that want change.

This isn't as easy as a decision as some would want.  The pre-season losses of Dante Curry, and Howard hurt, Chris Capko, and Aris Williams.  Joe Henderson makes a valid point that injuries make the recruiting issues more glaring, and in previous seasons that would be the case but we entered this sesaon we had 12 scholarship players (if you include Capko) that's not a depth issue.  And any program that suffered season ending injuries to four players would have troubles.

For you gentlemen that seem to feel a need to attack anything that states a position other than total hatred for Mac JUST CHILL.  I am simply telling you what Woolard must take into account.  He can't ignore that those players, had they maintained their health, might have been good for 3-4 more wins for USF, and then this issue would have been moot.  This is why things are not cut and dry, and not to mention CRM is close to signing two other players in the late signing period...he signs those and he has 12-13 players returning for next year and 11 will be back for 2008, so the retention, recruiting stability issues isn't as big an issue as it once was.

Just be honest with yourselves before giving ignorant rants about how he's not doing this or, some player isn't that.  Those two aspects, coupled by the improved overall improved record does make this something Woolard needs to consider.  Oh, and the fact the buyout is over $400k, and the quality of candidates inquiring isn't going to inspire anyone to jump for joy.

Odd for Henderson to bring up Huggins like he did when it was all Tribune motivated on that issue, and there was no contact or flirting between USF and Huggins.  Maybe between an agent and a certain reporter but not between the other two parties.

excuses

Maybe, but the question is if the 'excuses' are legit then what is wrong with an 'excuse' because by definition an 'excuse is a reason or explanation about something.  If they're not legit, or trumped up then maybe there's a reason to attack their explanations for the issues, but if not then it must be considered.

Why am I Mac?  Because you're throwing out accusations that are not real, and i rebuke them?

I am just telling it like it is.

It probably says that until more people care about basketball than baseball, Woolard isn't going to care.

Good one Harvey, and maybe more accurate then most care to imagine.

I'm not sure who that insults worse... A real conundrum.

There's no way Woolard doesn't care about men's basketball, not in this conference. He may even be hearing about it from the Big East - something like "we brought you in for the media exposure and you're absolutely terrible in our most important signature sport".

Woolard just isn't going to be drawn offsides by message-board knee-jerking in the middle of the season. The anti-Mac crowd has been saying the same thing since Thanksgiving and he knows it isn't going to change in March.

I guess those who care about basketball, do not have the financial means to have any influence.
