Start blaming the school. Not the players, coaches or agents

Was the point lost on you?

Would you prefer a trophy? Taking Uconn and SJU numerous times to the wire is a huge accomplishment.

We have many successful alumni, including many that I know personally, there are several attorneys on this message board, professionals, those in academia. Sounds like a loser's lament from you. Take a minute and google "lament."

We could do a lot worse than @SHUSource, who knows intimately well of what he speaks.
I have also seen the Development team in action, identifying a young alum who has kids in school with mine. He had essentially no connection with Seton Hall after graduating, but they have made him a proud alum who is engaged, donating, and a season-ticket holder for the first time. So, in that case, it's working.

great for your few anecdotal attorneys as it's abundantly clear we don't have the alumni to compete .

I wasn't debating the lack of alumni, both in sheer numbers AND the amount donated. The response was to a fool stating that SHU "is not a good school." Keep up.

Doubling down on obtuse. I will repeat it, slowly: Hurley and Pitino had 2-3x the amount of money to work with. I'm not suggesting we have a parade, banner or trophies for playing them close. What I am saying is that we had the coaching and effort this year, but not the money. So excuse me if I'm not ready to canonize Hurley and Pitino for being at the top of a top-heavy league -- they benefit not only from the largest war-chests, but also raiding the rosters of the rest of the league (Richmond, Hopkins, and now Hines). You following now?

Sooooo, we shouldn't put up a banner to celebrate coming in fourth in a weak conference without having the same resources as two hall-of-fame coaches?

No. You should try going to work, though.

No thank you. I listened to sound advice and planned for retirement a long time ago. But you enjoy. Here's a tip for you, get out of New Jersey while you can.

Let's hope that last season isn't as good as it will be.
