It's because people were very tired of Jimmy, tired of the passive zone, tired of the last couple very poor years and in need of change.  People had had enough of Jimmy and it was beyond time for him to move on.

Red offers that change by being younger, relating to the players and fans and instilling a more exciting brand of basketball.  Perhaps that thirst for change and hope for a better future, is why he is getting a pass from many on some of the same things Jimmy got bashed for (6 absolute blowout losses including a 36 point humiliation), very poor offense (our 2 pt shooting, 3 pt shooting, assist totals and even rebounding margin is worse than last year), poor inbounding plays, poor end of half plays.

I believe in Red and think this will turn out fine but I am not doing cartwheels as of yet.  We can blame Jimmy on the recruits Red inherited but Red decided who to keep.  Red had seen two years of Benny and decided he could fix him and we could thrive with Benny at forward.  That bet has failed miserably.  Red decided to bring in 4 new players who have been okay but are far from difference makers.

Cuse!
