Davis, Haase, and Ehsan have all contributed to our slide in men's basketball, in their own ways.

A couple of Davis teams came very close to breaking through. He had some good regular seasons but the team always seemed to fade late. Plus the long list of off the court issues. The Neal Callaway and Mike Davis years at UAB roughly coincided. The "Bama Years" on the Southside didn't work out and both programs were left considerably weaker than the two Bammer coaches found them.

Haase came in and became our first coach not to get to the NCAA or NIT by his second season. He made a great run at the end of a third mediocre regular season but then failed to follow through the next year (CUSA reg champs but no big wins OOC and no NCAA bid). He left before really establishing a solid foundation.

Ehsan's story is unfinished. So far it's been somewhat of a tragedy but he still has a season to become the hero. If it were a movie, this would be time for the montage of Ehsan (played by Kevin Bacon-of course) scouring the planet for those last critical players.
