Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4687198, member: 44"] True, in his case he ran it into the ground. I'm not sure citing Jim Calhoun is the argument you want to make. Jim Calhoun improved northeastern dramatically during his tenure there. Jim Calhoun improved Connecticut dramatically during his tenure here. Jim Calhoun improved Saint Joe's dramatically during his tenure there. Do you see a pattern there? Aresco, at best, failed to make the American a viable conference that people wanted to stay in. More honestly, he was at the helm during the conferences decline and made a series of poor decisions along the way. In my world, that's a failure. The notion that he failed epically, but no one else could've done better is the mantra of every single manager who gets fired for poor performance. It isn't a particularly compelling argument.
