I think it's "soft" the coaches appear to be "managing expectations" and rationalizing the Program's [U]relative[/U] downturn, when they basically have every tool they need to be successful.  And I think its odd that you parrot those rationalizations (excuses really) as gospel rather than question them the way some other posters do.

I mean sure, looking at the Program through rose colored lenses isn't really productive either, but presenting things like lack of winning and players drafted (both of which have been shown to be false premises - we compare favorably to almost any program not named Duke, Kentucky, or UNC) to pump up programs like Alabama and Tennessee, is "soft."  And you act all self-righteous about it to boot.

Having said all of that, I sincerely hope you keep posting what information and perspectives you have.   You have "an in" others do not (including yours truly). The more the better for this Board/forum.  Just don't be so chagrinned when other posters challenge you about it.
