[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1182485, member: 7292"] I believe we need to start looking at data a little earlier, because Henson did indeed start the ascend earlier in the 80s. Starting in 1982-83, we finished in the top 4 in 9 consecutive years until probation started to take effect in 1991-92 (first time we finished 8th - out of top 4). A clear inflection point. Henson could not recover recruiting-wise. Still managed some good teams finishing 3rd in 1992-93 and 4th in 1993-94, but the 1994-95 (5th) and 1995-96 (9th) seasons indicated that the staff could not fully recover. It was really the effect of probation. Since Lon took over in 1996, we only finished below 4th just once in the next 11 years (in 1998-99 when we finished deal last - reloading year). So if you exclude the probation/post probation effect that cost Henson his job, we have really brought the program down to pre-1882 years, to be exact more towards the late 1970s. [/QUOTE]
