Offline No halfway decent coach was going to come here after a guy with a winning record at the graveyard of coaches was fired. So we got Ferry, who only had two winning seasons at a low-level conference, no real pedigree in terms of teachers or mentors, and really, no brand recognition. I suspected Ferry wasn't going to be successful when he was hired; I became convinced when his MO clearly became "go small, play with 5 guys, and shoot from anywhere." Doesn't work in this conference. I know some folks are disappointed in the results, but they were predictable, I'd like to believe that we have one chance left, but I look at the totality of Duquesne basketball and don't believe there are any bullets left. Anywhere. Offline N Seconded. It's done. No one of any value is going to come here, Hell Scott Edgar's wife was told over 20 years ago we were a graveyard of coaches careers. Offline Gotta start paying high school kids to come here, takes one class, 3 players, $150,000 total. Honestly wouldn't care if they did.....thats how much I don't care about this program anymore. Offline You can add me to the list of folks that who doesn't care any more. I watch the Dukes today for the first time since league play started, and had to turn it off before the 1st half was over. There is no pleasure, only aggravation, following this program and hoping things will change. People it is over. Nothing will ever change at Duquesne. Offline How is THIS for proof "No One Cares" -- For the entire WEEK in the PG Sports Section where they post the upcoming games/times for the local teams - The Ladies Game against George Mason has been posted TODAY (January 4 @ 3.00) -- Might figure SOMEONE in the Athletic/Ticket Office would notice - and make a call to the PG -- I tried calling the number listed - call went to Voice Mail -- figured why do THEIR job for them - Offline No one's covering the team. Offline I believe Sarah K Spencer covers the Dukes along with high school sports. Offline I believe Sarah K Spencer covers the Dukes along with high school sports. Next it will be "Puppet Show and Duquesne Mens Basketball" Offline No one's covering the team. They know there is no interest in the city. It's not their job to promote us. Offline They're folding and going away anyway. Offline They're folding and going away anyway. Exactly. With the pressures that newspapers are under now days, why would they spend their limited funds covering teams that no one cares about? You can add me to the list of folks that who doesn't care any more. I watch the Dukes today for the first time since league play started, and had to turn it off before the 1st half was over. There is no pleasure, only aggravation, following this program and hoping things will change. People it is over. Nothing will ever change at Duquesne. Truer words have never been spoken. I gave no confidence that anyone in a leadership position there (board, president & current staff) will ever turn this around. Ever.

I think Ferry has completely destroyed the program.

Whats the worst that can happen, DU goes on probation? Gets kicked out of the A10? Who cares. A doormat for 20+ years is hardly something to hang on to.
