Most of those posting negatively on twitter and facebook and Blazertalk wouldn't account for 10% of the boosters.

I'm sure you can throw together a poll on twitter and have it come out to your liking.

Wouldn't make a hill of beans of a difference in what actually happens.

I suspect that Ehsan will be given 2 more seasons at most to show improvement.

"Fans" yelling and whining and kicking their feet when they don't get their way isn't helpful to the program.

Since the Haase era, Davis actually played tough schedules. Fans showed up and we got a bubble bid out of Davis. How about that special 2014-15 season? And the best team in the history of uab basketball that 2015-2016 team.

Davis had the luxury of being in a league where you have 3 or 4 bids to the tournament. Certainly a bonus. He also had a couple of great players in AJ & Cam Moore. The league as a whole was tougher, but the OOC conference schedule wasn't that much better than today's.

Sure he did, when’s the last time four teams made it from cusa? I would say it was a two bid league so Memphis got in if they slipped. Also it’s funny that those are the two players you chose (R.I.P. Cam), when Davis actually had NBA players here. The last guy who had a shot at the league from here was Chad Frazier (whom some still crap on til this day).

You lost me with the OOC schedule, Davis didn’t played 4-5 D2s like Haase ehsan. Also find it funny when you start to crap on the program you start with Davis but Ehsan who’s the worst coach I’ve seen here you say nothing but good things about.

I never saw either Bartow coach.

Answering your first question - certainly during the Anderson years but 2 or 3 teams made it during the Davis years (with UAB getting an at large 1 year)

In regards to Frazier, it matters not what one does on the court if you don't do things correctly off the court.

There hasn't been much change in OOC scheduling from Davis to Ehsan. Sure Davis might have had 1 or 2 or so bigger name team come in but in the overall scheme of things it is irrelevant.

Davis' years were some pretty good years on the court (mainly due to AJ) but he couldn't help but recruit players with bad grades, etc. along with the Cousins fiasco.

I actually attended more games when Davis was coach than I have since Haase & Ehsan have been coaching. I am more selective on which games I attend due to conflicts.
