       I realize your are referring to margin of victory, but SB's
       worst home loss, IMHO, was the first round loss to Binghamton,
       under "Already Packed My Bags" Boals. Boals, of course, is the
       gift that keeps giving, because not only did he start SB's
       current downward trend, he left us with Geno, who seems to be
       intent on finishing the job.

       This may be true but this is why schools have AD. SH should have
       been privy enough to see this and not give Ford the Head coach
       job, and certainly not give him a long term contract. The buck
       falls on SH, not Boals. Boals was looking out for himself, as he
       should..

       Decided to look up Geno's contract information.
       "After March 31, 2022, Stony Brook can enter negotiations to
       extend Ford’s contract for up to three years."
       Well, that's not happening.
       "Stony Brook agrees to provide Ford with written notice by March
       31, 2023 of its decision to extend or not to extend his
       contract."
       It will not be extended.
       "If Ford leaves Stony Brook prior to March 31, 2024, he forfeits
       the compensation."
       LOL! I wish.

       Here are some telling stats through our relatively small sample
       set of 1st 7 games (there are 358 teams in D1):
       - Our team FG% is 41.5% (285th in D1), whereas our opponents'
       FG% against us is 48.08%;
       Lots has to do with the offense we (don't) run, with lots of
       out-of-rhythm, contested shots being hoisted.  Also, have lots
       of trouble finishing around the rim.
       - Our team FT% is 66.3% (282nd in D1);
       Sorry, inexcusable.  This has been a bugaboo for many years.
       Stay after practice and practice shooting FT's when you're
       tired, for crying out loud.
       - We average 32.6 Rebounds/game (309th in D1), whereas our
       opponents average 39.8/game against us;
       Of course, losing Olaniyi (sounds like for the balance/all of
       the season) doesn't help in this category, but losing Mo was a
       major loss.  Sayles, Christie, Policelli - none have jumping,
       quickness, and great box-out ability, IMO.  Greene and maybe
       TSM (leaper) are our only go-to rebounders.  -6 on rebounds is a
       Major problem for this team, and something we haven't
       seen in years.

       Do you care to make a little bet? I say Ford contract gets
       extended. I’ll wager a $100 on that.

       I think 0% if this year ends poorly. He can’t recover from

       good analysis, oldie.  greene and TSM should get more minutes.
       if youre gonna bomb low % shots from NBA range, AND watch it
       clank and rebound, you shouldnt get minutes.  and tyler has
       looked really good this year, i think.
       cant understand why we dont stock our team with forwards...

       $100 bucks Ford contract gets extended. Even with a losing
       record and not making it into the AE playoffs.
       Chairman of the Board can be the referee..

       CoB, perplexing unless they anticipated Mo returning with added
       rebounding/D with return of Olaniyi. With neither there, the
       deficiency shows.  Really like the court presence of Payton
       Shumpert-good lineage and a kid who needs to be looked at more,
       imo.

       Some thoughts 7 games in one is the roster is flawed as we have
       no size Policelli is not a 5 he doesn’t have the strength or
       jumping ability  to rebound against centers. Sayles im not sure
       if he is hurt or what has given us nothing.Christie imo has been
       playing better. I have to imagine they thought Mo would be a
       part of this team and rightfully so. I still do not understand
       his decision to leave for one of the worst power conference
       basketball teams in the country. I hope Elijah returns so he can
       cap his career on a good note. Now if Geno is out in a few years
       who replaces him any names to look out for? This is an
       attractive job i doubt they would go the internal promotion
       route again off the current staff. Do we think we can pull an
       assistant from a high caliber school would love to hear some
       potential names.

       I’d go for some name recognition. How about Warney (he’d do it
       in a heartbeat, but has no experience coaching), but would be an
       instant crowd favorite. How about Jim Calhoun as a rental for a
       year or 2 (Pikiell connection). How about Chris Mullin?  How
       about luring Kenny Atkinson away from Golden State (he’s a LI
       native)?  Personally, I would love to see Joe Castiglie (very
       successful sbu player and coach in the D3 era), who got royally
       screwed and dismissed on a stupid technicality.
