The first part I disagree with.  We have one of the highest grossing basketball teams in the country, despite the inferior conference TV contract.  We play in a Dome, and we have great fan support.

Sure, a guy like Mark Few or Tony Bennett or Jay Wright isn't ever leaving what they built to come here.  You might even say that some of these younger guys who are tearing up the SEC (like Oats) would never come here because of the disparity in the conference and donor money.

But in Alabama, Arkansas or at LSU, football is always going to be king.  Then there is also the culture of actually living in the South when you're not coaching a basketball game.  Surely, that's not for everyone.

When you look how Kelvin Sampson was run off at Oklahoma and then Indiana, but now he has a Final Four quality team at Houston, I don't think we should act all high and mighty like we are above giving some quality coach like Sean Miller a second or third chance.
