Here's my quick take on this topic:
We do not have a player who has played more than a year and a half of D1 basketball.
Its that simple. You expect us to win games against Nova, Creighton, Xavier, Seton Hall? They ALL have players who have been around for years now. I get tired of hearing "wait till next year" as well. with Lavin it turned out it didn't matter how good we were, Lavin couldn't coach them into a cohesive unit. I don't know if Mullin can do it, no one does yet. BUT We HAVE to wait.
If you really don't think our fans care enough about the direction of program you are out of your mind. I know countless great people I see at every damn game. They donate money to the school and do everything they can to help the program.
Hooper, you act like the fan base is crazy because in your mind there is no accountability... but really you are just freaking out on the program way to early. 2 years from now, if we are in the same situation, with a similar record, and still playing like sh*t, many fans will join you with this sense of anger and disappointment. Don't blame the entire fan base for giving a coach a fair chance at building a team. Thats not fair.
