Ok….this message board is down right depressing. One post jarred me in particular that stated this program can’t attract a top head coach and will be forever mediocre.

So I sat back and thought to myself…that is absolutely ridiculous. You have a shiny rehabbed basketball stadium that holds over 30k. There is NO DOUBT in my mind that if we have the right next coach that brings energy and excitement that people will be hanging from the rafters for multiple games throughout the season (not just the Duke game).  The typical quality of the ACC top to bottom blows away the quality of old BE top to bottom. People will come out in droves if the team is a top 4 ACC team.

PLUS, SU fans show well in opposing arenas. I have been to games in NYC, DC and Boston and there are more SU fans than home fans in those arenas.  It is truly an orange nation that is a sleeping giant waiting to be re-energized and re-invigorated.

It clearly is worth the investment to bring in a hot coach who kids can embrace. The fans will return in droves both in the Dome and opposing arenas. With the right money, the job is super attractive. (And the quality of life, affordable housing and outdoor recreational activities are second to none).

It can again be great. ADJW and the BOT need to be bold, open the checkbook and get the best mind with the best personality out there and sell them the vision.

Trust the process. It will work!
