Unfair job coaching D1 BB, either live up to expectations or eventually lose your job as head coach even at schools with athletic budget woes.
btw, we're both too old, close minded and set in our ways to graduate.

If you cannot debate with the big boys, stay off the board.
Again, are Weber and McDermott good coaches?
No fanspeak.

The program was in really sorry shape when UE let Steve Merfeld go, suffering from much the same malaise for which Lowery was let go. Symptoms included defections, poor graduation rate, negative press because of player actions off-campus, and on-court stinkage.
Now that UE has two .500 seasons in a row, my hope is that the recruiting message is changing from "we had success thirty years ago and fans still watch because of that" to "we can be consistently in the top 100 rpi if we fill our roster with players like you"
Some facts for reference:
- December 6 was the date of a 40-some point loss at North Carolina.
- UE hadn't earned two consecutive .500 seasons since 1998/99 and 1999/2000 (the last two years of a four-season streak)
