@MikeWatersSYR @Kauf1007 You act like they all got hurt this week. He had time to get his guys ready and he himself knows he didn't.

Duke’s Jon Scheyer: “GMac. He out-coached me. They were more ready to play.”
English
@MikeWatersSYR Come on Mike. We all know you can’t go into a game with only 5 players. He had at least 2 guys and if he used them even for a minute before a TV timeout he could have rested his players
English
For the love of hoops!
Siena’s roster was completely depleted by injuries and a player ruled ineligible.
He had no bench.

@CBKReport @MikeWatersSYR I wouldn't go that far because McNamara was the sole reason why Siena lost. How come you didn't make not one substitution the entire game? His team got fatigued and offense went to shit
English
@TrevorGirlDad @CBKReport @MikeWatersSYR Did he have a great squad this year? Because that was shit coaching leaving all starters in to play 40 mins and gassing out.

Duke Head Coach Jon Scheyer following a close game with Siena:
“GMac [Gerry McNamara]. He out-coached me. They were more ready to play.” (@MikeWatersSYR)
McNamara is rumored to be Syracuse’s next Head Coach, he’s been stamped by Coach Scheyer. 👀

@lotabendiciones @CBKReport Which of the 3 injured and 1 ineligible players was he supposed to put in?
English
@CBKReport @MikeWatersSYR This man was ready to let his starters die on the court 🤣.. they cuda easily won if he give their center a break
English
@Matt_Sherman52 @MikeWatersSYR I feel like Mike’s version of swearing is “dagnabbit”

Jim Boeheim on Gerry McNamara’s coaching job vs. Duke: ‘He did everything he could do to win’ syracuse.com/orangebasketba…

@jamescurtin @MikeWatersSYR @Cusememes Injuries and a suspension inhibited good bench options. U think Gmac wouldn’t have made subs if he could have?
English
@Kauf1007 You know he had no bench due to injuries, right?
English
@MikeWatersSYR All 5 starters played 40 mins 😂 wonder why they didn't score over the last 8 mins
English
@sulz33 @CBKReport He had no bench due to several injuries and one ineligible player.
English
@CBKReport @MikeWatersSYR the gameplan to have no subs so his team gets fatigued down the stretch is truly elite coaching
English
@JFLANland He had 3 players injured and one ruled ineligible right before start of conference tourney.
English
Only using 5 players is worrisome. An old Boeheim issue of ignoring your bench. Still, Siena played better against Duke than Cuse has in years. Offer Gerry the job, see if he takes it.

Final: Duke 71, Siena 65. Siena gave Duke a fight. Gerry McNamara used only 5 players.
English
@PeterDa845026 He just got here. You can look at what he did at Toledo

Syracuse’s new AD Bryan Blair on the basketball coaching search: ‘We’ll have something soon’ syracuse.com/orangebasketba…
English
@MikeWatersSYR Didn't he put a sub in at the end there?
English
Final: Duke 71, Siena 65.
Siena gave Duke a fight. Gerry McNamara used only 5 players.
English
@MountSportScoop @syracusedotcom He played all year. The conference usually clears all players for league play. If he wasn’t eligible, the conference should’ve flagged it in January.
English
@MikeWatersSYR @syracusedotcom Haven’t seen that anywhere
But if you have, I’d love a link
The NCAA said he was ineligible
Many said that in April 2025
But if you have the link or document great, would love to see it
I can’t find it among the million or so results Google provided me
English
Siena leads Duke 43-32 at half, but Siena didn’t use a single sub. Injuries and a suspension have robbed Siena of its depth
