I never fight with Methodist or CNU, not here at least.   Only on football we do.  Narch and I never agree on anything, but I would never say we fight.

wincinsider - what the Hornets really need is a new facility. It must be hard for Coach Harris to lure players to SU. The football and soccer facilities are pretty good, the basketball facility is horrible. Ask Coach Harris sometine to show you the combined conference center and arena that was designed when Dave Dutton was basketball coach and AD. 

I have heard that Harris only wants no more than 750 seats so that it always looks sold out.   He and the former women's coach like the old gym.   They felt it gives them a home court advantage.   If the University does not build an athletic center to accomodate at least 3000-3500 fans then they are missing the boat.

Dutton's best team was when Coach Carter left and Dutton inheirted his players and the same would be said for Harris when he took over for Coach Dutton.

I can't speak to the Carter-Dutton era transition, but I see that SU was VERY good back then.  2 NCAA trips, a couple of conference championships.  Later Dutton got the team to the NCAA's in the mid '90's and a tie for the league regular season championship. 

As for the "same would be said for Harris when he took over" comment, I would have to disagree.  When Coach Harris took over he inherited a team that in the previous two years had gone a combined 19-31 with 5th and 4th place conference finishes.  He did inherit Ronald Merriwether (POTY in 01-02), Tyson Thompson and Ted Davis who were strong players in the conference, but from what I heard Harris was instrumental in getting them recruited in the first place. At that time he was the basketball "recruiting coordinater." However, SU's best season under Harris came in 2003-04 after those guys had all graduated.  In 03-04 SU went 10-4 in conf. play and were 16-10 overall.  That team consisted of all-conference player Chris Rhone (G) and a strong line-up of Kennith Purnell (G), Chad Brashears (G), Halston Camp (C) and Onyie O (F), getting them to a 2nd Place finish in the conference.  Those guys were entirely recruited by Harris.  The next year Harris added JLawrence and ended up tied for 3rd. 

Lastly, Harris recruited Phil Dixon and Al White in the early 1990's, arguably two of the best athletes on campus over the past 20 years, regardless of sport, period.  I'd be curious to see what some of the other posters in the conference think of SU baksetball over the past couple of years as far as being competitive in the league?

Is there a formula for your feud with Narch?  Just kidding...

Give me time.  I will come up with one.

su97 - i think coach harris is an outstanding coach, and every time i've heard him speak or read one of his quotes, he seems like a quality individual...i think everyone at su should be proud to have him as a coach and realize that success runs in cycles - su has played the second most difficult d3 schedule in the conference and they are tied for the most wins in the conference against +.500 teams - they've also played a couple of scholarship programs...hornet fans need to be patient with this team and program, because they're in good hands with coach harris

just my .02 as an outsider

Actually there is a formula.   Formula for Propensity to Argue (PTA) index =

0 - Do you (and your sister) post?
-1 to -99  - No wonder you (and your sister) attend that school!
-100 to - 499 - I'll give you (and your sister) $10 to please shut up!
