Please don't compare him to the scumbag from Indiana.  Yes, JAB is 50 years older than these kids but he still has taken the team to two final fours in the past five years and we have beaten two top ten teams in a down year and almost took down a third.  JAB has his systems and for the most part have worked extremely well.  He survived two probations and the Bernie Fine incident.  Does that make him more important than the program.  Guess what???  JAB is the program.  Coaching basketball lends itself to public scrutiny.  JAB has thick skin.  We know he doesn't care what anything thinks about what he does or says but I don't think it's fair to say that time has passed him by.

We all like Robey.  I wish I had a nickle for every time I said that I hoped that Robey could morphed himself into Dennis Rodman.  Unfortunately he never did.  Maybe he didn't have the drive or just lacked the athleticism or the motivation.  Not everyone is a great NBA player.  Not everyone is a great ACC player.  Robey has his niche and sometimes he is much better at it than other times.  Should JAB lay off the kids somewhat.  Maybe you nor I would say those things but it seems to work for JAB.

I felt bad for Robey when he had to take those FT's.  But we have seen others in that same position drain them.  I tried to will them to go in but it just wasn't meant to be.  Hopefully Robey finds a way to make a difference the rest of the season.  I know on Senior Day I will be cheering for Robey as hard or even harder than I did for JAB's 1000th.  It was a tough loss that we almost found a way to win against a very tough team that traditionally has owned us.  Hopefully we will get them next time.
