Message: [QUOTE="brasssbonanzaa, post: 2501726, member: 794"] The program is still at a point where UConn is UConn and we can sell a potential coach that the current situation is a product of poor coaching and injuries as opposed to an institutional or conference situation. Certainly the addition of Wichita helps, and hopefully a solid performance from the conference in the tournament will do the same. We're still in a position where someone like a Hurley at URI and Pikiell would be looking hard at the job. Another year of this garbage and we're that much closer to a different story. I think the only way KO gets fired during the season is if it goes into a complete downward spiral and we're something like 2-12 in conference. He's got the year to prove he deserves another year. If he backdoors his way into the NCAA tournament, obviously he comes back. Otherwise, I think there's no merit to bringing him back. Whether the financial side of things influences AD David Benedict to give him another year, I don't know. But purely on merit it's tournament or bust this season. [/QUOTE]
