Message: [QUOTE="Confident Carl, post: 2624351, member: 1632"] These historical UCONN men's BB attendance figures show the sense of urgency to turn the program around .Benedict can't afford to hire a coach who won't make a difference at the box office, otherwise Ollie may have been given 1 more year to turn things around. It's pretty obvious that Benedict needs to do something dramatic and impactful now! The program is in the balance and a good up and coming mid major coach or a Major retread have their risks.. We need a name who can win immediately! If we get back to winning, attendance should get back to over 10k/game avg. In 2017 UCONN averaged an abysmal 8,500 per game. I like Danny Hurley but for some reason I can't get the idea of Calhoun coming back with Glen Miller at his side. Certainly Miller could have done better career wise than a DIII start up assistants job. Was this the plan all along? I think the idea of Calhoun coming back at a lower salary to save the program visa vi Randy Edsal, especially because he was the guy that recommended KO is a good possibility! Things deteriorated too far. The bleeding has to stop! Last 20 years UCONN men's basketball attendance and rank amount D-1 programs: 2017 - 8,500 - 52 2016 - 10,413 - 40 2015 - 10,687 - 37 2014 - 10,134 - 40 2013 - 10,728 - 34 2012 - 12,640 - 26 2011 - 11,569 - 32 2010 - 11,685 - 34 2009 - 12,518 - 28 2008 - 11,887 - 32 2007 - 13,012 - 20 2006 - 13,948 - 19 2005 - 13,771 - 15 2004 - 13,549 - 20 2003 - 13,229 - 21 2002 - 13,709 - 19 2001 - 12,543 - 20 2000 - 13,543 - 21 1999 - 13,345 - 22 [/QUOTE]
