Message: [QUOTE="DblCrossbar, post: 4573870, member: 12251"] In general, no argument here. Historically Cav has led teams that have improved and played well in March - well except for the HE playoffs of course. To his credit a hallmark of his tenure at UConn has been that his teams met or exceeded regular season expectations related to pre-season polls, but of course those expectations have been rather low. This season is an exception and anomaly in terms of that development. Perhaps losing associate coach Joe Pererira has hurt more than we thought, though we hope Michael can ramp up can follow or exceed where his brother left off after a year behind the bench. And even though improvement didn’t occur I’d take Cav’s season over Carvels. UMass isn’t much younger than UConn in total and we’re a complete train wreck. Next year is a big one for sure. Cav finally has the barn and amenities he’s been waiting for so let’s see if he can cash in on that. If he’s smart he can use the additional games at the XL as another sweetener to the recruiting pot - a second home that if played right with UConn’s ticket office and group sales potential for limited games, to be a large raucous home environment with 5-7k fans or more with its own vibe that can be even more electric than Tuscano.
