JJ lost it,when he got here. His team has been transfers in and transfers out. He is not a quality recruiter. His history of 20game wins per season, was only due to major transfers that lead the team. For a school like ODU we should recruit, at a higher level. better. Caver was the only freshman, that was quality. However Dr. Selig give JJ a nice raise and contract extension. I wonder if Dr. Selig realizes, we are in a weak league (for basketball) and also have add a cup cake schedule (OOC) this past years.

Dr Selig doesn't care how good we are at basketball. As long as the coach is good enough to keep the donors from raising a stink, he is just fine with mediocrity.

Far from true.

I would say JJ can go at least this year an two more without a tournament appearance and not get fired. That would be 1 tournament appearance in, what, 9 years? JJ has been one of the two worst coaches in ODU's D-1 tenure in terms of NCAAT appearances, and there seems to be no concern at all about that. The others similar to him were fired in fewer year than JJ has coached. If that is not a slide toward accepting mediocrity, I don't know what is.
