Message: [QUOTE="willie99, post: 2605242, member: 192"] Now, since we like to compare the last two seasons, I have to go the speculation route. Some people continue to bash Ollie and consider him a lessor coach because of more recent results, which begs this question if you really want to have a fair discussion. What if Hurley's best player unexpectedly declared for the NBA draft before the 16/17 season? And then, a big recruit gets hurt in August of 2016 and misses the 16/17 season. And then 2 of his three best remaining players go down for the season in November of 2016. I wonder how good RI would have been last year. Then his best recruit for 17/18 decommits because the coach who recruited him was fired. And then his mostly higher regarded recruit goes down for the season again, And then his team's second leading scorer fractures his nasal canal while still recovering from his torn ACL and essentially sucks down the stretch. I wonder how good RI would be. If RI had all those injuries, and CT had none of them, who do you think would look like the better coach? Again, I'm not bashing Hurley, I'm really not, I just think a little balance goes a long way Our program has been absolutely devastated by injuries the last two seasons, and other stuff didn't help either. Now I do think the team should have competed more even with the injuries, but let's not pretend they didn't happen and they weren't significant. If that's some sort of "agenda" of mine, so be it, it's legit. [/QUOTE]
