Message: [QUOTE="Stainmaster, post: 2003738, member: 5260"] Look at it this way; no matter what false narrative you and others try and superimpose, this season is [I]not[/I] the norm under Ollie. It can, and very easily will, become the norm if Ollie is dumped and we have to hire an A10/CAA/mid-major coach, because our non-P5 status takes us down a notch in the eyes of potential HC candidates and means we have less $ to pay them with. Additionally, looking at how Ollie's post-sanctions recruits (Adams, Jackson, Durham) are starting to develop and poise themselves to replace the Purvises and Brimahs, it's more than fair to assume the team's ability will improve in the coming seasons. Bottom line, I still find your expectations unrealistic and irrational. And when Ollie's replacement has one tourney birth in his first three years, is pulling in 3-star combo guards as the [I]highlights[/I] of his recruiting classes instead of one-offs to round out classes, and is even further from beating Duke and Kentucky on the court and on the recruiting trail than Ollie will be, you'll see why.
