Hines to the Huskies!!
- Thread starter TWOSPODCAST
- Start date
Anyone who thinks he is serious or genuine about any of that needs their head examined
I’ve said that for years when he blows smoke at Sha
These guys are ALL wired the same. I think great coaches respect great or even good coaches, and there is probably some truth, for example, when Coach X says he thinks Coach Y does a really good job. At least some of the time.
That said, every one of these guys will slit each others throat for a player. And so would Sha if he had the opportunity. They are paid to win games. They are competitors. And they operate within whatever the boundaries given to them. Now it is free agency; before it was all the offseason/in season recruiting stuff that would occur where you had these Assistant Coaches who really didn't know jack-s&&& half the time about coaching basketball, but were the extension of the HC all year for the recruiting stuff.

Foundational piece for Seton Hall, per Danny after we almost beat UConn. Lol!
Hard pill to swallow. Had to keep Hines or Budd, to lose both when we had more $$? Someone is Pinocchio in the AD's office if with added revenue sharing we could not keep at least Budd. Unless Sha is playing hardball and whiffing in these negotiations. Or players don't want to be around another rebuild.
I do think at some point in the season it was very clear that Hines was the better player between him and Payne. I think we win a few more games if Sha played Hines more when Payne had digressed from his good start to the season. I'm not sure if that's the reason Hines left as it was probably more financially motivated, but I did think Sha underplayed Hines and overplayed Payne
Playing for UConn may be about money but it may also be about getting far more exposure going to the Dance every year and having opportunities to be seen on the big stage by NBA scouts. Playing against much better competition in the out of conference games too. Playing in arenas packed with more people too.
So money yes but many other positive factors.

I don't have anything against the kid but I don't care what he does from here because he is not wearing SHU blue. Sha did mismanage him. Both can be true.
Yea but the original post was sounding angry at Hines. If Sha mismanaged him then we should understand why of course he transferred plus the money. That’s all.
Unfortunately, Seton Hall has become the old Oakland A’s of the Moneyball Era…we have to become card counters at the blackjack table. There are three ways they can go here…first..the university can try to keep up with Jones’s and overpay for players like Oklahoma State did with Coleman. By now we all know how this option turns out. Players and their agents want more and more every year. In Coleman’s case, I would say the Cowboys felt Coleman underwhelmed them for what they paid him. There is no contractual agreement that protects the schools. Second…Seton Hall alumni steps up and bankrolls the salaries of players. That’s a big ask when we know the players and their agents will only demand more and more every year. I couldn’t blame the alumni for refusing to do that. The alumni already ponied up some serious steam for the new facilities. Third…Seton Halll holds out hope that common sense and order prevail in the NCAA. (Now talk about wishful thinking). Not to beat a dead horse, but this new way of doing business for college basketball is not sustainable…at least not big picture. I see more and more teams playing in empty arenas due to lack of interest from a disenchanted fan base. The student section at the Prudential Center is already empty. How do you expect these students to embrace a team where every single player entered the transfer portal after a 4th place, 21 win season?? This outcome will spread to other schools. You can count on that. Until then, Seton Hall and Coach Holloway have to dig deep and get creative to unearth hidden talent that is otherwise overlooked and under appreciated. And maybe for that one season, we can catch some magic. Let’s hope. Go Pirates!!
Haha the like 4 people who laughed got it..but again good job
However your the guy who thinks Hurley has this super admiration for SHU and Sha too so idk what to tell you buddy
Somehow, my interest in college basketball and Seton Hall has reached an all-time low.
And for the people who say just donate more to the NIL fund, there are hundreds of charities I would rather spend my money on than donating to mercenaries.

Oh boy. You’re gonna be in trouble for that one. How dare you. Give more. NOW
No, but for a guy who preaches about the strength of the BE, he (and Pitino), don't mind keeping it weak down the middle and top heavy, as long as they get theirs. The conference itself should re-instate the ban on intra-conference transfers. I didn't like it when we got DAW, and I don't like it when we got Wilcher, to be fair. And I was a DAW fan when he was on SJU.
You're right, give less, cancel your season tickets (no problem for you, since you don't have them), and then complain how we can't compete for players. Makes sense.
I'd have zero problem with that rule, and frankly I like it. But I don't see the horse going back into the barn there, unfortunately. Once it opened for Corey Floyd, or whoever the first one was, it was open to everyone. Those who have tried to make the distinctions for years now between "player X" being OK to go to program "y", but not player "a" to program "b", never made any sense to me whatsoever. It is a binary thing. Either it is allowed or it is not.
Seton Hall has historically lived on the learning curve.....
Seems....we never learn....
It’s actually easier to root for players in pro sports now because they have this thing called a contract. It’s a new invention where you know how long they will be with your team unless they’re traded.
Some people are so far behind in a race that they actually believe they're leading.
Yes but I still root for the uniform regardless.
I loved Juan Soto as a Yankee fan. He jumped to the Mets because they offered him the best package, at least it seems that’s what drove the decision. I don’t hate the Mets or Soto, but I’m still rooting for the Yankees and don’t really care what Soto or the Mets do.
Saquan was one of my favorite Giants. He went to the team I dislike most in the NFL. Didn’t change my rooting interest as I still pull for my Gmen no matter what. And frankly I was kind of OK with SB killing it hi first year with them because he played his a$$ off for the Gmen, even though I was rooting against Philly in the SB of course.
