I think the point was about style of play (offensively), not domination.  But Oregon should be better next year, and quite strong the year after as well.  The real test longevity-wise, imo, will come after that.  Also, if I'm not mistaken, this is Oregon's third Pac1 10/12 WBB title, which ties them with OSU over the same period, with only Stanford having (a lot) more.  They were actually a fairly strong program in the late 90s and into this century with two Pac 10 titles in a row (one shared in 1998-99 and one outright in 1999-2000).  UO then fired the WBB coach (Jody Runge) due to player complaints about abusive behavior (sort of a forerunner of what seems much more common today) and there were two bad coaching appointments in a row--actually one bad appointment based on nostalgia (Bev Smith, who hold most of the WBB records at Oregon) and one disastrous appointment (have blocked out his name) based on the whim of an interim athletic director who only paid attention to football, men's basketball, and his bone-headed desire to restart baseball.   Graves is a different story,
