Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 4465689, member: 285"] It's not any one thing. It's a combination of factors; probably starting with our head coach being as old as the Hills (not Otis). Being in the ACC and playing games in remote locations and having local (home for the kid) media attention diminished because we aren't playing their "local" schools and the unknown of whether JB will still be there for the length of time that they will be there or even by the time that they arrive on campus. One of the reasons Hop was so important was he was very well known in the basketball world and he appeared to be the certain continuation plan when JB kicked it in, so kids had some idea that if JB wasn't going to be their the entire time they were things would look similar under the next coach.
