George Mason taking unique approach to summer training - Sporting News

It sucks, but Mason allowed itself to be the butt of jokes by being so horribly bad at closing out games the last two years.

Only way to shut them up is to beat them.

Not trying to re-open old wounds, but Mason allowed itself to be the butt of jokes the second it let Larranaga get on that plane to Miami.

Everything that has happened since then has been predictable as death and taxes.

We either need Hewitt to get this ship going in the right direction or we need to find a skipper who can. It's simply unacceptable for our program to be in a position of being mocked by the likes of the hygiene-challenged hipsters from Richmond.

Amen! If we want to play with the big boys we have to compete with bigger programs to keep our coach. That's what vcu did. If we don't we should have just joined the Patriot League.

There's really no use in bringing up those topics. It's been four years. I agree with the last part of you post, though.

Mason's begun to at least address some of these issues from the administrative level. Let's continue with the momentum.

Agreed it's been four years so why rehash the subject, but it's not like vcu has been matching offers to keep Shaka.

And I would argue that it's not really the fact that we let Coach L go (coaches leave all the time -- see Anthony Grant, Brian Gregory, Mark Turgeon and Steve Alford -- and programs continue on), but who we replaced him with.

As Jim said, Hewitt needs to find a way to win or he needs to make way for someone who can.

Watching Marko chase the lights explains a lot about the way he plays defense.

Considering the way our guys allowed opponents to drive right past them last season, Hewitt should've had them chasing chickens to improve their lateral quickness like Rocky Balboa did.

Would've made for a great motivational T-shirt slogan: "While our opponents are busy choking their chickens, we're chasing them!"
