I think your post here makes the most sense....
We all love Holly.... a great person.... a devoted LV forever....
The way we have been ending each year.... has been more than disappointing.... and is it because Holly was saddled with following a legend? is it because of injuries? is it because of the refs? No no and no.... and then you get to the on-the-court potential reasons for so-so performance... and for this list you need look no further than Holly's post game pressers.... we were quick shooting... we didn't defend the 3 well enough... we didn't "want it" as much as the other team... etc..... all things that are 100% within the control of the coaching staff...
It seems this thread has turned to focus on attendance... attendance HAS been down countrywide for several years... but whether it has been or not, I am not focused on attendance.... yes i would like 14K at TBA like everyone else.... but I want to have a team that is talented, hard nosed, and comes to play every game... i want to win... and of course we all know the relationship between winning and attendance....
Relative to the thread subject it is sad that .... if the posts here are true,.... that the AD would just fritter away another year for this program.... an iconic brand in the game... there seems to be an acceptance that if we are 25-8 that is good enough.... South Carolina, Miss St, they have gone past us.... and shoot, Georgia, Mizzou.... what about Alabama..... they have beaten us 4 times straight now......
Just sad.... I respect whatever decision is made.... just sad in resignation.... Hopeful we do OK next year
After the fourth year, the program directly reflects the coach. Even a legend's personal input can't exceed their death. After four years that team became CHW's team.
The recruiting/recruits are off the charts we are getting the top commits. But we got to do something with them. They have to get better each year.
Now.
