[QUOTE="altgeld88, post: 1682808, member: 2886"] The guy is 21 months off winning a share of the regular season Big Ten title, a season when fans occasionally booed him and the team in their own building. I find the sense of entitlement around MD basketball supporters similar to that of Penn State football fans. Turgeon was a solid recruiter and coach and his teams were as consistently strong as could be reasonably expected. [B][I]IlliniCA[/I][/B] above is correct: UMD fans deserve this. Manning (Turge's teammate at Kansas) was mediocre at Wake. Maybe he can make something of the current team this season. But you just can't coach and recruit at a place where your fans treat you with such disdain publicly as they did Turgeon. During the home loss to VA Tech on Weds fans started chanting "Fire Turgeon." He apparently walked off the court at the end of the game, encountered the AD in the tunnel, and started negotiating his exit. [/QUOTE]
