Of course you can. But for our resident ray of sunshine to hop in and make a point that this years NU team isn't as good as last year, and we were up by six on a team that ended up beating us by 18...an 0-6 team, it sure seems like you're putting away the sunshine and breaking out the clouds.
C'mon man, what gives? This is the kind of mindset that consistently torpedos success at UNCW.
"Yeah, we went to the NCAA tournament 3 times, but we only won ONE game...we need to change things up. More offense and higher scoring games is what we need!" Which then brings us a decade of failure.
"Yeah, the press was nice and all, but we couldn't get it done in back to back NCAA appearances". We need to change things up". Which leads to McGrath instead of Siddle or a pressing coach.
"Sure we ALMOST beat Hofstra. And, sure we beat NU...but it took OT. And, well, they're not as good as last year. I know we lost ELEVEN games in a row and were 0-6 in CAA play, following a last place finish last year in the CAA. And sure we lost to 0-6 Elon by 18, but we WERE up by 6. But really, we should have beat Hofstra too. THEN I may have been impressed. But really, Hofstra isn't as good as last year. either, As a matter of fact, the whole CAA is down and has been for awhile. So, even if we closed out the year with ten wins in a row, it would be against a really weak conference. We'd have probably won those anyhow because the players were already maturing and McGrath probably would have won those as well. Oh, and even if all that happens, Burke is WAY too animated for the long haul. We'd really need to find a coach with a little bit better demeanor"....
