In addition, it's not like we have a Roy Williams in waiting on the bench. The team is what it is with this current coaching staff and nothing will change that and you want to show KO the door with some respect. The brand is fine. NC State got tarred and feathered pretty good last year. They hire Kevin Keatts from UNC - Wilmington and now playing solid basketball and beat UNC recently. They were #109 on KenPom last year; now they are #65. Respectability restored. Basketball isn't football -- the rebuilds are shorter, cultural changes happen more rapidly, less good players are necessary to turn a ship around. UConn has great facilities, the fanbase hungry for quality basketball, the history/tradition, and is in one of the best recruiting areas for CBB aided by our continual ability to turn out at MSG despite poor play the last couple years. Any coach coming in has access to the entire northeast including Boston, New York, and New Jersey that always turn out top 50 and 100 recruits. Top that off with we play very competitive non-conference schedules and our conference has gotten better despite KO's inability to field consistently competitive teams. [/QUOTE]
