Okay here goes. I understand many of you being upset with the loss the other night. However, if there is anything we know about our basketball coach it is this:
He is a Son of Marshall.
He isn't going to allow the inmates to run the ship
He is smart enough to know the inmates haven't exactly got us to an NCAA tourney since 1987.
He and his brother are known for having an eye for undiscovered talent and bringing them into the NBA.
He and his brother are known for developing players into high quality players in the NBA.
He has been forced to play many young kids way too soon because he had to clear house of the mess it was in.
He is smart enough to know we can't out recruit UK for stallions so maybe it makes sense to recruit a different type of player.
He and his brother Mike helped change the way the game is played in the NBA. Having him here is awesome and having Mike available is really worth more than we can afford.
He is in year 2 of a rebuilding task and we are into game 3 now. Maybe we give it more than 2 games before we run him out of town.
I tell you this, if we are here in another year or two in the same position I will come on here and admit I was wrong. But for the time being, I think DD is a good hire for this program. Most of us would be challenged in our professions to be expected to turn around a situation like this in a little over a year. Attacking his recruiting saying WV kids and Euros are all scrubs in silly. This strategy may not get us into the Final Four but it might just get us a C-USA conference title in 2-3 years.
