One would say the being a #1 seed to begin with, after where this program came from....would eliminate any strikes there(though disappointing).Losing to Loyola, not making it to the second weekend with a 1 seed? One and done this year? Flirting with other jobs this April? Failing (thus far) to fill a gaping need for a point guard this off-season?
At the very least, there’s a strike 1 in there.
I like the guy, but the results haven’t lived up to the hype for awhile now.
I know, I know, most wins in the B1G over the past four years… At some point, it’s gonna take more than that.
Flirting with other jobs just means that he's coveted by other programs and given what's going on with NIL and the portal.....you'd be nuts to give anybody and outright no.
The PG situation, I am, to this point, disappointed. Like I said, if they finish 7th and go to the NIT because of an inability to land a PG, he gets a strike. If we go to the Final Four, he gets unlimited strikes and a lifetime extension.
You're pushing off having the most wins in the conference like it's some forgone conclusion that we should be better than the rest of the teams in the conference. What you've whittled this to is that you don't care if we're one of the "last four in" as long as we win one more game in the tournament.
