In reply to: Gray Poll 's message, "Re: Additional Christmas thoughts" on Wednesday, December 24, 03:41:07pm

Gray Poll, don't want anyone to eat crow and I have no idea if JD can turn this thing around. To date he has not proven that he can and maybe never will. Some talk, however, as if JD inhereted a successful Program and has run that Program into the ground. To that I say, get real! The Program was on life support for years ( as has most college basketball in the Metro area) and the hope was that JD could turn it around. So let's not deceive ourselves that John Dunne destroyed something wonderful.


The best any reasonable person could argue is that he was unsuccessful in reviving a patient that was on it's last legs. The negativists, of course, assume that there is always someone out there who is a would be our saviour. In that they have the advantage of assuming something that can never be disproven.


What I have no problem with your side of the coin is if you assert that JD'd tenure, to date, has been disappointing or even a failure. What I do object to is those who show no objectivity in his coaching performance and only post after bad losses. The guy has actually done a pretty good coaching job with the team he has to put on the floor this year. Show me where he could have done better. As far as motivation and bench coaching is concerned those who post negatively either have not been to games, pick on one particular game or incident or have no idea what they are talking about. What JD needs pure and simple are some players and there is no sense in debating with anyone (not referring to you) how difficult recruiting at SPC is. Those people have no clue.

Merry Christmas

Oldtimer. At the risk of offending,to write such a lengthy post as yours shows you to be a pompous and sanctimonious old windbag. To write so much and just rehash old BS,looks to me, that you are trying to impress people with your great intellect and knowledge about Peacock basketball. By the way are you and C.Crawford related?? I also think that Dunne is doing a bad job and needs to be replaced.

Nick, don't worry about offending. I've read your often inaccurate BS for some time. You are one of those people who think they are so smart that they only give wise-ass comments without any substance or knowledge. To that point I've never seen you post otherwise. But it's Christmas and I can only hope that you grow out of your inferiority complex which demonstrates itself in constantly attempting to put down others. Try to find something positive in your life, you'll be happier. And, by the way, I do care about what Gary, Loyal, jajk and others on the other side of the argument stand but as for you I could give two sh---.

Nick,We can all agree to disagree,but you seem to be the one who reverts to personal attacks first. I pity you,living in such constant negativism.In this season,you could use a visit from the ghost of Jacob Marley and his cohorts.
