Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 3206452, member: 628"] I'd expect a lot of people to have this opinion, and it's valid in my opinion. Where I will push back is the notion that this is the "first 2 months of hard times in 40+ years". Unfortunately, the program has been on a downward trajectory for several years. Lots of opinions on the drivers of that, but the outcome is pretty unassailable. Maybe they haven't been "hard times", strictly speaking, but they have been far off from the standard JB himself set. I also suspect a lot of the agitation you see is due to how the supposed transition played out. We had a succession plan in place, and it was torpedoed. Again, lots of opinions on how and why. But it was. And now we have literally the oldest D1 basketball coach of [I]all-time[/I], trying to sell players on coming to SU, with no clear successor (which many of these recruits would have to assume they'll play for at some point).
