Maybe drove to the ground by historical standards but the program wasn’t a disaster.   JB’s final two seasons in the ACC were 9-11.   We’ve basically been a .500 team since joining.   I don’t think there was a significant deviation his final two years.   Red also wasn’t handed a bare cupboard.   He had two elite players (Judah and Maliq), Burger Boy JJ, 5 star Bennie who appeared promising, and 4 star sharp shooter Chris Bell.   That’s a lot of talent.  A better coach could have won more than 20 games with that roster.   I remain convinced that the talent, especially Judah, won us many of those 19 games, not Red’s coaching ability and the talent covered up many faults. Last year’s team is worlds apart from this years team from a talent standpoint and that’s on coach Autry.  We are now a disaster that is a dumpster fire continuing to snowball. After seeing Pitino success I actually think JB would be doing well.  Give him a team of old transfers like Cole swider who are ready to work.  Forget the HS prima-donnas who, as cal put it, are fragile.  Wasn’t that the knock on JB; recruits didn’t want to play for him because he was an  ass and not a players coach?
