It was 2 years and with free agency it can be done overnight, we won’t be able to but some will.  Get whoever you want, there are disgruntled self centered athletes ******** about playing time all over the nation ripe for the pickings.

Absolutely correct. Teams turn it around quickly all the time. If it gets to the point we actually do have to hire someone I just hope it is someone who has the skills to do so.

And not since, losing 3 out of 4 years is not much of a rebuild especially when what we constitute as winning is not even making the NIT in our winning year.

Guess there's a fine line between being competitive and actually winning. No winning season in conference play, not even an NIT invite to his name yet four years in.

His "rebuild" isn't complete and we could argue its actually trending down, let alone argue that he "rebuilt" the program in one year, we're still waiting.

Can we please get one conference play winning season after four years? Is it that hard to beat the likes of Tulsa and East Carolina more than not?

He didn't say "rebuild". He said "build a competitive team", which CBG did, whether you consider it in one year or two, from basically nothing. It was a good start to a rebuild but then loses a key component of that team ..... and then loses his backup early in the season. When you are trying to rebuild from basically nothing, the margin of error is razor thin.

I thought you had lost interest in Bulls MBB? 😄

Incorrect.  Losing interest in the ignorant fight back against the NCAA.  Also, how I feel doesn’t impact the need for a modicum of coherence on the board.

How long can you really talk about candidates for a job that’s not really open yet?

    “In my mind, I’m kind of like, ‘OK, excuses over'. We know what we need to do. We’ve got the right team together, and now we move forward, and we’ll evaluate and be accountable to each other, including myself, from this point forward.”

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
