Its simply been way, way too long since we've been in the NCAA tournament. That length of absence should not be acceptable. Period. I will always be grateful that K came here and revived a program that was on life support...but it's looking pretty clear now that his success was built largely on one guy--Rian Pearson. I think Coach has earned a couple more seasons, particularly since next season will be reliant upon significant contributions from several true freshmen...but can he finish the deal at some point? This should be THE program in the MAC--not one that loses to mediocre competition several times a season.
