Why do our own fans continue to tear down our own coach and program?

I want to get back to the Huggins years like everyone else. I am talking 5 conference tournament championships in a row, 7 regular season conference championships in a row, 14 NCAA tournaments in a row, and probably the least talked about but most important stat is this from 1996 through 2002 UC did not lose a first round NCAA tournament game. What I have seen the last two seasons looks closer to 1996 through 2002. If UC can be good enough over the next five to ten years to always get to round of 32 based on being a solid favorite in the first round game, UC is bound to advance based the first weekend based on the odds. During the Huggins years they went from 1992 to 2002 with only one first one loss. Included in that time was an Final Four, two Elite Eights, and Sweet 16. My point being is that if you continue to earn high seeds over a long period of time and make the second round at 80 percent to 90 percent clip, a Sweet 16, Elite 8, or Final Four will occur just based on the odds.
