Jajk, we all want Hall to be more offensively minded. Believe I was one of the first to post such. However, your "guess" or attempt at mind reading is not valid. JD has stated that he wants Hall to shoot more. Feels that defenders are playing the pass and need to respect Brandon as a offensive threat. This "control" stuff seems to have taken on a life of it's own, as your supposition shows.
Also interesting is this so-called evaluation of Dunne's sideline behavior. How quickly we forget that several posters criticized Dunne last year for being to passive on the sidelines. This year, and Cindy and SPC Fan should vouch for this, JDs sideline mannerisms have been good. More proactive but nowhere near the description given. Don't know what happened at Marist but it's not in keeping with what those of us who attend the games have observed this year
Point is that the man's record has and will continue to speak for itself. Let's stop mind reading and guessing that it's now his personality that is causing all our problems. Many would kill to have Bob Hurley Sr. coach this team and I guarantee you that a word will not be said about "control" issues. Winning brings everyone together, losing brings out all this kind of stuff

Sometimes partisans will look favorably on things that are not exactly right, much like the proverbial comment "It can't be my boy, he would never do such a thing". The particular quote was not made with any derision or attempt to denigrate SPC. Certain aspects of it ring very true and was brought up last year about the participation of the staff which you did go wild on. Not bringing that issue up again, but I have heard comments about berating certain players he has shown tendencies to not give much rope to many players. Fear of making a mistake has been mentioned on this board by others. So before you go into the defense mode ask your self if you have seen certain tendencies in this direction. I have although not to this degree. Do you think he takes advice. Wins might change things, but the negativity on Leckie came out well after he put up wins. Wins don't always solve everything but do soften the issues in question. By the way, I think this blows the 8-8 need. And while you seem to not agree but personality just might be an issue. Few of us are there at the interactions, but we do know that he doesn't think well enough to send out thank you letters to contributors per SPCFans post. I only got one from Eliot, but my contribution was sent to Dunne.

See Loyal's post above which disagrees with the Marist poster and confirms what I posted above. With regard to the other criticisms on personality we are getting into a very subjective evaluation area. Moreso because mosts posts are based on limited observation. As you point out few if any attend practice sessions and are only guessing when they post. Jajk's post was one such example.
To repeat my take. Performance on the court is what matters. In Dunne's case he probably leans to the disciplinary side when compared to the prior regime. However, his approach nowhere nears the label of stern disciplinarian. For a college coach he probably falls somewhere in the middle between lax and stern. Does he have favorites? All coaches do, but only because he believes rightly or wrongly that the guys he gives the most playing time to are the ones who belong on the court. Question his judgement but not his motives. The guy wants to win and with all coaches is subject to second guessing. It's part of the profession. With JD's record there will be plenty of that.

I agree with oldtimer, Dunne's sideline demeanor is more active and better this year. The last two years he was way too passive. One of my criticism's from the Monmouth game was very passive lay back and watch us get taken to the cleaners.
Demeanor aside,wins and losses are the ultimate test.many coaches are succesfull either way.
