Comments of "Context Lacking" and "Goalpost Shifting"  [B]And then making the claim we were top 10 at the end of 2016, as if that has any context on how we were as a program that year or after 2018. [/B]  Just seems off to me.

[I]We have not been clearly into the NCAA tournament as of March 1, in any year since 2014. [/I] My list was merely a reflection of that.   Perhaps the best stat would have been just pointing out the italicized.     That 10 year stretch has hurt our brand.    I think focusing on 2016 and 2018 tournaments is more lacking context.

I would have thought the people that argued "THE PROGRAM IS FINE!" after the 2016 and 2018 tournaments purely based on a few games, and argued against the real declining issues we were showing at the time (based on regular season play) would have reconsidered based on what happened after that from 2019-2023.

"JB let the problem slide at the end of his tenure".    He led it slide from 2015 onwards (despite the few tourney successes in there).   This wasn't just a post 2020 issue.

Now to be clear I put none of this on Adrian Autry.   I think given all the circumstances he did a darn good job in 23/24.   But the brand has taken a big hit the last 10 years, and that will hinder Autry to start.

Hopefully a few good years, and he can get the brand back up to par.
