We need to lose this clown yesterday. It's unconscionable that he's been allowed to destroy our program for the last decade.

This should be required daily reading for any and all associated with overseeing the bb program and keeping Mooney on the payroll. I'd use the term required reading for "leadership", but that doesn't exist. It's pretty obvious.

Onward to another year with same or worse results.
 
Wow!! Mooney is absolutely weak and pathetic. I mean seriously. How can a D1 coach make millions of dollars and be so apathetic to losing and his players not performing. These statements are actually insulting to Spider fans and the universities basketball tradition. HE MUST RESIGN!!

Compare his statements to Pitino after AN IONA BLOWOUT WIN.
"What I told them in the locker room was I didn't come to Iona for mediocrity. I didn't," Pitino said. "I came for greatness. Greatness is every phase of the game of basketball. I'm not talking about Donovan Mitchell out there, (Terry) Rozier — I'm not talking about talent. I'm talking about them executing like great players tonight and shot free throws like a bad basketball team."
"I'm not happy with the team. I'm just not happy with the team. I'm not pleased at all. I'm not pleased with losing to Saint Louis. I'm not pleased with losing to Belmont. But my expectations are very high, very high."

Mooney is an absolute joke. Mooney consoles and praises his players (the greatest in school history) for effort and keeping it close. He is the epitome of a "Losers coach".

5 super seniors, 1000 point scorers, and Mooney is encouraged. You’re encouraged with a team of underclass men who are improving. It’s Like he’s thinks he’s building a team for the future. What world is he living in?

Gilyard did do everything he could have done to win, I’m just sorry the team couldn’t finish it

True, he did, but there have been games where if he even had a decent offensive game we would have won.
