No, not "nuff said."

There are countless examples of teams out there that are exponentially better than us, with the same or less NIL funds.

NIL is being used as an excuse to mask Red's awful performance as a head coach.  Sure, he'd "coach" a little better if he had some better players, but NIL is the symptom of the problem, not the actual problem.

And you are 100% wrong about those coaches -- if we had Pitino, Oats, etc. with this same exact roster, we'd have double the wins.  Why?  Because those guys can actually coach.  Because they would implement effective systems on BOTH sides of the ball.  Because they would demand high level of defensive effort, and the results would ensue.

The roster is flawed, no argument there.  The approach toward the portal last year was in a word, stupid.  But good coaches maximize what they get out of the team -- especially coaches like Pitino and Oats.  We're seeing the opposite with this coaching staff -- the players are getting worse under their tutelage.
