Message: [QUOTE="UConnKev, post: 4533077, member: 852"] As an NMSU alum, I am beyond disgusted with the state of the program. I was never a fan of hiring Greg Heiar from the get go. His initial press conference rubbed me the wrong way. He sang his own praises about winning at every program he's been associated with. His lack of control during the Mike Peake incident and stating that he "really didn't know him that well" during the police interview disgusted me. He talked about being a "player's program." The lack of respect his players had for him was evident after the first couple of games. Chris Jans got it, he'd recruit juco and transfer players like Teddy Allen. Allen will forever be hated here, but Jans reigned him in and was able to capitalize on his talent and not let him fly off the deep end. Jans himself had an incident off the court but showed he deserved a second chance and now he is at a P5 school. I love UConn basketball as much as everyone here but last year seeing NMSU finally get over the hurdle and win a game in the NCAA tournament game albeit against UConn was pretty special. I had to stop talking to friends and co-workers for a couple of days afterwards...but back to normal now. I'm not sure what happens now, I hope everyone is fired, and they should be. Mario Moccia the AD, has made a lot of great hires. He will get a pass on this one and I'll give him the benefit of the doubt to right the ship. [/QUOTE]
