Some folks may take this the wrong way and I mean no disrespect to players who have worn the uniform even during the last 20+ years when the MBB program has been by in large a failure. I certainly have respect for the teams in the 70s and 80s and early 90s and want things to return to that but it is so far removed that while I get someone saying they want to engage alumni and bring back tradition I think in reality JMU basketball has to chart its own course and start its own traditions and own winning culture.

Even when Rowe would talk about the good old days aside from a few wins and the shot by Culuko those teams while solid kind of underperformed. They weren’t power houses or model teams by any measure. We can do better than that and we should.
