Not getting your ass blown off at Yale would be a start.

It's time for McCall to go. Getting blown out by Yale and presumably finishing outside of the top 5 in the A10 doesn't get you fired, but when that comes in your 5th season and you've had no post-season tournaments to date, I've seen enough.

I mean a guy that scored like 2 points a game on a shitty Penn State team has been our best player.. pretty much all you need to know.

How many times do I have to watch Rich Kelly drive the lane, get tied up and throw up a whoop-de-doo?

That was tough to watch last night. This team needs an identity. Offense seems so disjointed, need to shorten the rotation and find the group that meshes the best. Just looks very out of sync. Like the players but seem to have lots of similiar pieces

Agree. I think there is talent on this roster. The word that comes to mind (for the last 3 years +) is underperforming. Year 1 they did the best they could with a depleted roster. Randall West, the people's choice!

When the fans and players don’t respect the head coach, you don’t have much of a leader or any promise for future success.
