I wanted to see he could change after a sustained duration of mediocrity.

After the 2009 team, JB clearly made a renewed commitment to the zone and the type of player he wanted. Length, athleticism, etc. While I didn't like being zone-only half court defense, I could appreciate the new strategy.

Two things about this time period:
1) we made the choice to recruit Fab Melo. That was a calculated risk and it blew up in our face.
2) I truly think 2010 should have been our year if Arinze doesn't get hurt. Who knows how life plays out for Cuse/JB after that.

Now? I'm worried now because we are on probation for the second time, JB has an "end date" and we are supposedly promoting Hop without a national search (that I know of).

We've had serious recruiting misses and omissions, are in moderate to serious trouble for next year, depending on who leaves, and have a full coaching staff of former players.

I didn't and don't want JB fired. But I want to know that the program is bigger than one person, even if one person has defined it for four decades.
