Welcome Coach Tony Skinn!

[99 Patriot]

What happened to Tony's Coach's Show that was scheduled for February 16? I can't find hair nor hide of it.

I think the women's game that was iced out being re-scheduled to Monday at 4:00 meant no coach's show.

 

[DRK331]

Tony Skinn finished higher than Chris Caputo in the A10 standings this season.

We'll see if we land an NIT bid on Sunday. In the meantime:

After year 3 Tony is 70-30 (.700) overall, 35-19 (.648) in A10 regular season play, and 2-3 in the A10 tourney.

His record against A10 opponents - including tourney play

Davidson 4-0
Dayton 2-1
Duquesne 0-3
Fordham 2-1
GW 5-2
La Salle 3-0
Loyola Chicago 2-2
Rhode Island 4-2
Richmond 3-2
St. Bonaventure 4-1
St. Joe's 3-3
St. Louis 3-0
vcu 1-4

We're 49-7 (.875) at home during his tenure.

That's a pretty good resume in comparison to all previous Mason coaches.

Thanks for the reminder/reality check.
Tony is doing a great job. Now we just need to get over the hump.

I know we ask and demand for a lot (and we should being fans, otherwise whats the point), but this summarizes how awesome it has been to have Tony at the helm.

I'm hopeful that the administration will continue to throw and grow all the resources possible behind him and the staff (and VBL too), so that we can continue to grow where we are.

Its extremely frustrating that we have not made it over the hump into the big dance, but we can confidently say that the staff is doing all they can to correct that, and the administration too (hopefully).

There really isn't much more to say at this juncture, and hopefully we can climb the last rung into the dance sooner than later.

I would love to see this adjusted for Strength of Schedule / Quality of Opponent or at least then KemPom rating of opponent

All of us fans know how good a job that Tony has been doing in one of the best basketball conferences in the country. But, given the dearth of coverage in the local media, I wonder how many other people know this.

In college basketball you have to get into the NCAAT to really get people's attention.

100% this. You can be 30-0 and if you are left out to the tournament nobody knows who the hell you are / care. (not saying this would literally happen)

Yep, this even applies further with casual fans. All of us on here can appreciate 20 win seasons and validate the progress we're seeing on the court, but casual fans and the broader Fairfax/NOVA community probably don't see that...getting into the tournament and being part of the "Madness" is that next step to really drive fan engagement with the program.

 

[TweederGMU]

20 win seasons are gravy but no one gives a crap (in this area especially) unless you make the dance, and consistently.

I don’t think the administration is. Let’s see the basketball budget go to 6 or 7 million a year to match Saint Louis and vcu.

And...20 win seasons aren't what they used to be. In the '83-'84 season (give or take a year) we were 21-7. Only played 28 games total.

No idea how accurate this is, but somebody with ties to GW just told me they spent $8M on this year’s roster. That seems … not possible lol.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen.

Are you going to do your part and email the board of visitors asking for more money for Tony and the team?

Based on nearly 40 years of dealings with the BOV going back to my time as an undergrad, I’m not wasting the time it would take to write such an email. They couldn’t possibly care less what any of us want.

The BOV doesn’t care about 30 people emailing about bball…

What number would you say We have to hit to make them care?
