Message: [QUOTE="Excalibur, post: 3197502, member: 62"] College hoops recruiting is a regional game, and our coach is focused strongly on the northeast even moreso. The AAC was, and would have been, an ongoing issue. It wasn't the "reason" why we went downhill so fast. Use the video game analogy. In the height of the Calhoun era, the recruiting "game" was set to "easy" -- we had established ourselves as a premier national program, we were playing in a top conference with a focus on the northeast, and most of our games were on a national network or the top tier of the most-watched sports cable network. We also had an expert playing the game in JC. Fast-forward to 2015 through today. The game is now set to "expert". You can win, but the game is more difficult. A good player can beat the game on any setting. We handed the control over to our kid brother and he screwed everything up. This move puts the game setting back towards something like "moderate".
