Still cannot believe UNCG has surpassed UNCW in basketball by copying our success using the press, as we abandonded it.

I see the point of your post, but technically we didn’t abandon it. It abandoned us. We didn’t choose to change coaches. That decision was made for us. There’s no evidence to say there was another coach out there available that would have played the same system with the same success.

Unlike UNCW’s mistakes abandoning Brownell basketball success, this wasn’t our doing.

Siddle. And regardless of why, we moved away from a system that was successful completey, while UNCG picked up that same system and has now surpassed us. we had the players, we had the system for long term succes and we left it. It's a damned shame. No way UNCW should be behind UNCG in basketball.

I agree on where we should be, that is a certainty. What is not a certainty was whether or not Siddle would be successful. Sure, he was K’s assistant but that doesn’t equal a hill of beans in terms of certainty which is why I said there was no guarantee in terms of success. Hell, we don’t even know if Siddle would have stuck with the same system (likely, but not guaranteed). On top of that K had already taken pieces and there’s no guarantee recruits would have stayed.

There’s a lot of moving parts there that you’re assuming would have played out perfectly.

Keatts is hardly successful at NCSU. Was he really ready for that jump? In the same light would Siddle who had relatively little coaching experience have been ready? Maybe. Maybe not.

Have to agree with you here on one thing, there is no guarantee Siddle would have been successful. It's making a lot of assumptions to say he would. Very good Chance CJ takes off regardless, and hes the guy along with Vonte that could have kept him afloat.

I do though agree with 82, We should have hired a coach that would have at least floated one of the similar styles to what has worked for us recently. Honestly, The first questions I ask in the interview if i'm Bass is what do you envision your team being? What Style would you like to play?
