[QUOTE="LoveIlliniHoops, post: 1505436, member: 657585"] You can’t seriously look at the first two years as BU teams. He lost eight players in a complete rebuild. What kempom shows is the steady progress he’s made and with the recruiting class he has coming in, there’s no reason to believe the improvements won’t continue. The program needs coaching stability to ensure future recruits that this team is staying together and that they won’t have to worry about transferring out in the event of a coaching change. Even Lou Henson had a slow start. After his fifth year things started coming together. Look at Penn State! PC is in his eighth year (iirc) and has been a bubble team in recent years. He has them currently at 24 in kenpom. They easily could have changed coaches and started the vicious cycle of starting over again, but chose to stick with him and continue to improve his program. (please don’t hammer me for comparing us to Penn State. I’m only stating a point that BU has begun to right the ship and needs more time too). [/QUOTE]
