Some folks…?  It’s as if they want athletes to be perfect in decisions, execution, and outcome.  The also want things to occur on their timeline, reality be damned.  Lots of babies thrown out with their bath water.  
Those folks would have shut down the Sistine Chapel because Michelangelo was taking too long and wasn’t using paint. 
Ideally, coaches are : 1) teachers, 2) mentors, 3) confidants and, lastly, basketball coaches. 
The long term growth and best interests of the young men in their charge is far more important to them than the outcome of a game or season.  (See Benny, as a prime example.) That will resonate with recruits and parents.
Look no further than our very own HCFB.  He is preaching a lot of things outside of, and more important than, football.   Syracuse University didn’t become better.  Syracuse as a place to live didn’t become better.  The message of the coach and his staff is what young men and their parents want.
