[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1359358, member: 7292"] That may be true for the minority of fans, including myself. I coach so I get much satisfaction from watching young players develop, analyzing offenses/defenses, trying to see what went wrong/right on a particular procession, etc. But when attendance is 5,695 at United Center on a Saturday, it also clearly means that the vast majority of fans do not see the appeal of following and paying for a team that does not win games. That will always be true. So the bottom line is what is needed to get there, and that is where opinions differ. For me, it is clear that we do not have the horses and talent in the frontcourt, so unless recruiting improves, things will not change. Unless we improve from where we have been in the last 12 years, no coaching and system will be good enough to build a [B]consistent[/B] B1G and national competitor. JMO. [/QUOTE]
