I'd say right around the time that our last two Final Four appearances have been vacated. I'm done with the whole "win at all costs" mentality. I would LOVE to hang a championship banner in the Forum, but I want it done cleanly with a good national reputation. When we had that great 4 year run with Cal, we were perceived to be one of the shadiest programs in the country regardless of whether that perception was justified or not. I feel that if we win a championship with Josh, nobody will accuse him of being a slimeball or think we pulled strings to get there.

Ditto

My follow up to that would be why did it take TWO vacated Final Fours for you to feel that way? And I do wonder if we (as a fan base) will ever get back to the point where we're again starving for the run John took us on, and again willing to win at all cost.
