I've always stepped back from the edge after a sustained duration of poor play or being mediocre because I had faith JB would change or evolve. He did what he had to do after the James Thues/Greg Davis recruiting class. He committed to getting superior athletes with length for the zone after the 07/08/09 teams leading to the 2010 and 2012 teams.
I have been worried about an all-Cuse coaching bench. I don't really like it.
JB either needs to make some serious changes to the coaching staff, which I don't think he can do with Hop taking over soon, and, also, attempt something different on the court.
The man is a world-class college basketball coach. But the program has to remain bigger than he is, no matter if he has been the living embodiment of the program for four decades. I don't want to see the game pass him by.
