Everyone is fond of characterizing us as a 'top 10 program,' but since Carmelo, we have signed only one top 10 recruit. And two top 20s. That doesn't seem to jive with the program ranking. And now there are 'insider' discussions about how JB has been 'reluctant' to hit the recruiting trail outside of an easy geographic excursion.

He got married, has kids, and he's 70. I don't know anyone at that age who has as much energy as when they were 40. It's nature and biology. Maybe you don't want to call that laziness. Fine. I apologize for offending you. Somehow.

We went exclusively to a zone defense - a one-size-fits-all strategy... Doesn't smack of greater coaching effort to me.  The NCAA offenses — more effort toward vigilance wouldn't have hurt.

In the past 15 years, he's been increasingly dickish with media. Cantankerousness, as a product of age, plus acclaim, and from accomplishment (NC and "HOF")... Not sure how you define arrogance. I'd wager, though, that if it were Calhoun's behavior, you'd label it as so. JB can be an absolute swell guy. Maybe (probably) even most of the time. Doesn't mean he isn't ALSO arrogant.
