I clicked on your examples and I didn't read any of the threads, but I did see where all of the subjects were about recruiting, not the season that just passed.
well, you get the point.
but hey, at least you have something to cheer about. we have Doc Sadler converting 5 consecutive 20-win seasons into 3 consecutive 20-loss seasons to cheer about.
Yeah, I don't remember much more than cautious optimism from WKU fans before this past season but if they fall flat next season then yes we will certainly all join together and bash them soundly.
In all seriousness that's super impressive.
Coaching matters! If you read most of these type threads you'll see I don't agree with the roll out the ball thinking some Western fans seem to think will take place. But.....
yes there's a but.
If the same level of talent that we saw the last couple years in CUSA is what we see next season. I think talent alone will win some of the games Western loss this past season. Other words, while Stansbury struggle somewhat because of coaching in the SEC. The overall talent level, night in night out is head and shoulders better than what we seen in CUSA.
I personally thought Western had the pieces to be one of the better teams in CUSA this past season...come tourney time. Did not happens and a lot of that was coaching....
Defense is mostly effort and in that mostly coaching. No matter what talent level ODU has the defense has been there under Jeff Jones. I think with Stansbury he needs overwhelming talent to get those results.
Some coaches are great recruiters and some are great bench coaches...
hard finding a great mix of the two. But when you do don't usually have the huge highs and the huge lows. But as I said sometimes talent just wins out. Well it does till you start playing teams with talent and good coaching...
in my opinion that has what lead to a team coached by Stansbury not doing any good in the NCAA Tourney. But as a fan...
that paper talent Western has coming in (if they make it to the court) sure looks exciting.
