What friggin downward spiral? We've had one mediocre year, which ended with us winning the championship, and 1 horrible year without our coach. And while extremely doubtful, we still haven't lost the championship this year. I swear some of you are spoiled brats. You complain about selfish players? you are the selfish ones. Team has given us a decade of wonderful basketball. Now they need us. There should be nothing but support. I wonder if Duke fans Called their 13-18 season without coach K a downward spiral. Um...to be fair, check out our KenPom rating over the Cluess years. Steady decline. Better support my claim. Iona's Kenpom over the years: 2011 66 2012 54 2013 89 2014 76 2015 100 2016 104 2017 117 2018 137 2019 198

Thank you sir. I did not and do not blame the AD (Athletic Director/Athletic Department) for the season - nor the players, nor the coaches. I am calling for the AD to see the void, take control of the situation; and mitigate the downward spiral. Maybe the AD has done that. I see no evidence of such from my perch in THE LOU. Do you all remember last season when Rickey tried to take over a TC huddle. Rickey was kicked out of the huddle, and sent to the end of the bench - despite or maybe because of the great "father figure" relationship between Rickey and TC. Maybe Coach Arnold does not yet have this in his DNA. I did see a little of it in Coach Mailhot. Man, I hope it's somewhere in the AD. Having said all of that, what Coach C was able to command out of Rickey ("maybe you should transfer"), out of EJ, and others; and have it all result in the incredible bond they enjoy is what makes TC such a special leader to those players. I don't know; maybe I am asking for too much of a reach. +100, u have supported the team more from Ohio than people who live here because traveling 10 miles is hard, but all want more home and homes with locals so they don't go to those games either. We don't have many fans so the players know the faces of the regulars and it can't help them when the amount of fans at away games can fit at the end of the bench. What friggin downward spiral? We've had one mediocre year, which ended with us winning the championship, and 1 horrible year without our coach. And while extremely doubtful, we still haven't lost the championship this year. I swear some of you are spoiled brats. You complain about selfish players? you are the selfish ones. Team has given us a decade of wonderful basketball. Now they need us. There should be nothing but support. I wonder if Duke fans Called their 13-18 season without coach K a downward spiral.

Maac Kenpom over the years: 2011 16 2012 20 2013 14 2014 17 2015 19 2016 21 2017 19 2018 20 2019 28
League has been somewhat consistent up until last year, so Iona's can only partly be blamed on the MAAC.

Yes, it is a fair point. But then the decline was happening with Grasso, Brock, Eaton et al on board. So hard to argue that their departure is the reason for decline.
