There are people who hope he turns it around. It's boring as hell talking about the same s- - t over and over..... Let nature take its course and stop harping on the ol stuff. No, it is boring as hell to be losing by 20 in game after game under this coach.

Yes it sucks... My point is this. That should be the AD's decision at the end of the year. He did an extensive search right? He called him a rising star. If he is the bum that you think he is, then Murray is an idiot too. He knew the program was in shambles. He couldn't afford to make a colossal mistake. And if he does fail, and the college keeps him around because of money, then that's a joke too. And if the assistants and players see no light at the end of the tunnel, then I think they need to voice their displeasure. Marist isn't the first rebuilding program that has had some bumps in the road.

Remember, he could have had a proven coach in Herrion.. So if this doesn't work, Murray takes blame as well. And if the other sports matter to fans as much, let's start a water polo forum. I'm just making a point. No disrespect to any sports. I love seeing the success. It's just not something that gets brought up anywhere other than the Marist community. And if that's ok, then why all of the anger over a bad run in men's basketball?

Difference is Murray has a track record of success Martin has no such thing at his current positon. So Murray has earned a do over he took a chance and it failed he knows it and my money is on him correcting it at end of year. Blame Murray for Martin yeah.... fire Murray for it Joke he has earned his strips

I didn't say fire him... I'm just saying that if this doesn't work, he better get it right next time. He's got a record of success in other sports. Those coaches don't get paid like these guys do. Hoop is the only sport that people have these discussions over.

Hoop is the only sport that people have these discussions over. First of all, you need to stop degrading the other sports. Mens basketball is exactly 15 athletes. How many are on Marists campus. You are extremely positive, which is awesome. But, you have this pattern recently of saying the other sports don't count. Murray's job is not just mens basketball. Sorry if that pisses you off.

I didn't degrade any of the other sports. I'm just saying that , obviously the downfall of the hoop team seems to draw a lot of passion. I don't think there are any other sports that fans would be so fired up over a couple of lousy seasons. In my opinion, the football team hasn't exactly made much progress. Time to get rid of that coach too??
P.S.
I don't tell you what do say. Don't try it with me.

I am sorry, but I have known other athletes on that campus. Murray has done a great job for them. Its simply not fair to them or Murray. Murray has been a great AD.

I'm with you Yankee. I think the guy's great. He's at every event. I just think that if everybody's going to be so fired up, he's the guy who made the hire.
I think he's a great guy and a great AD. I love all Marist sports. Try to keep tabs on them all. Just want the men's hoop team to get where I think they can be. Sorry about the perceived negativity. I don't feel that way at all. I think Murray and all of the teams are tribute to the school. Hopin we get that way in men's hoops too. I apologize if it came out that way...

And I apologize for taking out my frustrations about the team on you. Hopefully see you at the tourney, so we can have 10 beers each:).

That would be cool.. Trust me Yankee, I'm as pissed as you are. I'm surrounded by Siena fans. That's where some of the "nobody cares about the other sports" stuff comes from. :-)They bust my balls when I bring up the women's hoop team. I honestly think that they are the most relevant team of any MAAC sport. Marist baseball has done a great job too. I think they'll do good things this year. You're on. Beers at the tourney. We ought to get the group together.

Ggaff, Yankee is trying to rattle your cage because you are a voice of reason on this board and he has no good counter points to your well-stated arguments. He likes to tell us what not to say “Don’t tell me they are not scoring because Prescott isn’t playing”, or “Don’t tell me we won a half”, or “Don’t compare Coach Giorgis to Coach Martin”, etc., but you shouldn’t let that bother you or influence what you say. Keep up the good work. I know Yankee means well, and especially for his sake, I hope some success comes to the Marist men’s team. But I also hope Mr. Murray has more patience than the majority of the people on this board and gives this a chance to happen.
