[QUOTE="Cook, post: 1438487, member: 321590"] The bottom line is that us fans just want a program to be proud of. Certainly that would start with winning at a high level (which btw would also earn a lot of leeway and forgiveness for other things from Whitman on down). Even if we're not winning, just off the top of my head here's some things I'm sure we'd all like from our coach: Avoid a recruiting bungle like the THT situation that makes UI look bad, demonstrate you're a tireless recruiter and relationship builder (particularly in our own state and even when those areas don't have a recruit you're after at that moment), maintain strong bonds and open dialogue with players and their parents, be viewed as a fair, just, and praiseworthy leader and developer of young men athletically and personally, demonstrate decision making that is irreproachable so as to avoid even a hint of nepotism, don't repeatedly lose your cool and go apesh** on your players during games (key word repeatedly), and last but not least... win decisively more than your share of coaching match-ups, show an astute well-conceived game plan, line-up, and substitution strategy. Demonstrate you can effectively install and teach your offense and defense in practice that results in correct execution in games and shows a continuous forward progress/improvement. [/QUOTE]
