[QUOTE="teamco, post: 2833997, member: 4245"]
My first year at Cuse was 75-76 . . . the basketball program has had a long magical run most of that time. But I have to say I agree with much of your post, especially the first paragraph. At this point I would say my expectations for the program feel permanently recalibrated- downward. Previously I felt we were a top twenty team, often top ten, that intermittently experienced an off year or two. Now? Well, I feel like I am witnessing the same problems year in and year out with no hint that they are being addressed. My two pet peeves? Just getting tired of seeing the ball passed around the perimeter and than chucked at the basket (I long for the old days when we played great transition, or slashed to the basket) . . . or having bigs that look like they just started playing basketball in the past year or two. The program feels very stale.

Maybe I'm just feeling particularly let down coming into the year with such high expectations, but it really does feel the problems are more of the systemic type these days and not transient and that the program has throttled to a lower level :(
