Message: [QUOTE="CardiacCuse, post: 4178726, member: 6979"] yeah he adjusts and tweaks the rosters based on the previous season..but he has kept missing on those tweaks for like 8 years now...he really thought this team was gonna be GOOD. it begs the question why he keeps missassesing things? yeah part of it is missing some big time recruits...i think if bazley, for example, had actually played for su that season...the team woulda been a force and right back to being ranked...and then woulda possibly used that momentum to get better recruits in subsequent seasons... there has been some bad luck involved...the sanctions were crippling...unexpected early departures are a new thng that has thrown a wrench into his tried an true formula and he hasnt quite gotten it right since the landscape in ncaabb has shifted so much...(theres a reason roy williams and k are retiring about now) and then he has chosen to ride with some questionable players ...hes loyal to a fault lately especially...part of me wonders if he played up the family angle more and more so it would seem normal for his sons to be featured...idk... its not just this season...its been a long time now where the team was relevant on his watch nationally I cant say I want him fired...but it does kinda wear down the enjoyment after a long long stretch of mediocrity...that doesnt seem to have an end in sight. at the end of the day...Ive followed the team since the 80s and it has been a hell of a ride...so...im not gojng to say JB shouldnt have his choice of how it all ends... i kinda look at it like...he had his "retirement gift" of coaching his sons...and starting next season...the standards are gonna be much higher for me the mediocrity needs to end pronto [/QUOTE]
