Our esteemed Director of Athletics, Gene DeFilippo, is making occasional stops across the country to speak to alums about the state of Boston College sports. The editors of Marooned Gold anticipate that he's got some pretty standard pat answers/faux enthusiasm prepared for the fusillade of "Spaz sucks!" headed his way. So we (and hopefully you) will be taking the other front in this war: basketball. Any/ all of these questions should be asked:
"Even if we assume the athletic department-leaked assertion that Skinner was a lazy recruiter, doesn't it seem fair to imagine that last year's team with Skinner, Reggie, Rakim, Ravenel, Heslip, etc. was well-positioned to make a 2006-like run in the tournament, one that could have boosted recruiting for years to come?"
"What do you think Tyrese Rice means when he tweets that he probably won't set foot on BC's campus again and that people have no idea what's going on behind closed doors? Is it a sign of a healthy program when one of your greatest recent players goes public with his dissatisfaction?"
"The ugly, un-fan-friendly style of the Skinner flex offense was cited by you as a reason why attendance at BC home games was subpar. How was attendance this season? Was it boosted by the offensive fireworks featured in perfomances like the completely unwatchable NC State game?"
"Did you or Coach Donahue tell Brady Heslip that he was 'not good enough for the ACC (comments),' and did you enjoy watching Heslip carry #3 seed Baylor to the Sweet Sixteen with nine threes last week?"
"Does it bother you or Coach Donahue that the three best Boston College NCAA basketball players this season were playing for other schools?"
"Over the last five years, what's your biggest mistake? I'll give you a second to rank them."
