Fair or not, and most people won't admit it, but they set different standards for different coaches depending on much they approve of the coach.
For example, you were far more forgiving of Zo and Barnes than you were of Tyndall. Ziti is far more forgiving of Pearl than he is Barnes.
We are far too quick to develop a love/hate relationship with coaches too quickly, at times. We decide we love them or hate them too soon, and we are stubborn to a fault, and don't like admitting when we are wrong.
I would suggest this is more closely associated with recent trends than the coach.
If a coach leads you to 3 straight S16s and then leaves for another school, you are going to expect the same from the guy that comes in after him regardless of what his history suggests. If your team hasnt made a tournament in years and you hire a coach that won a title last year, you arent going to be disappointed with a first round ousting. Recent events determine expectations much more so than a coach.
I think next year's draft is going to be weaker than this year's.
Yeah. Can't fault a kid for trying to get paid. Think he should have waited though.
I think a year of development and a good showing could have made him a lottery pick. He could have really set himself up well for the future with a guaranteed contract as a first round pick.
Didnt have smart people around him. 17 year old wanted to go pro and thats what is happening.
Not the dumbest move Ive ever seen though. He could bust out completely or he could go bonkers in the NBA. Doesnt have anything to fall back on though.
