young upstart vs. experienced coach depends upon finances and of course availability and did I mention finances. Huggins would have been ideal to jumpstart a failing program. our problem is actually deeper than the pit we've allowed ourselves to be dug into. IT'S OUR REPUTATION AS A PERENNIAL LOSER (both in CUSA & BIG EAST). I wish it were a matter of underfoming except that I don't really think we underperform on the court. We actually compete in most games and usually do not give up on a game. That's the main postive for CRM.  We try so hard that eventually we even grap a BE home victory here and there. This is not the question we as individuals ever want to ask ourselves because the answer is difficult to accept. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A BAD REPUTATION AS PERENNIAL LOSER TO WINNER? I'm not talking about our reputation as WE see it but our reputation as the basketball world sees it ie. recruits, media, donors, fans ,even our own students
