[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1287961, member: 7292"] That's not what the quote meant. I have actually made the exact same point. We have been irrelevant in college basketball for the last 12 years (JW rounded to 10). "If we are not careful" it could be 30 years. It did not mean that if Groce is the coach for another 20 years, he could not do better. But the next hiring is very crucial. An ABG strategy will not work. Every time you go through a hiring change, you lock yourself 5-6 years at the time. You can play this game 3-4 times, but then another 20 years have gone by. That is what JW's comments meant with the statement "if we are not careful..." [/QUOTE]
