He supports UC, of course we wanted this win.

Not getting the point. Fear of getting worse isn't a reason to not try getting better.

Obviously everyone on this board wants us to win the championship every year or else we wouldn't be here.

But you still have to have a clear cut way of getting better. Texas thought for sure they had one and that still didn’t work out.

We don’t have a clear cut plan for something that is better. Sure it can be frustrating never advancing and frustrating feeling like we’ve hit our ceiling. But you have to weigh the possibility that it might be the programs ceiling in this current college basketball landscape, and not necessarily mick cronins.

By that logic there is no reason to keep him. Just pay some high school coach 30k a year to coach them because they can’t compete in the current college basketball landscape.

I fully believe his coaching system is the reason we're at our ceiling because it's not conducive to how basketball is played in 2019. I think he's a good coach and could probably lead most teams to NCAA appearances but I think we've seen his ceiling for years now with the way he recruits players and coaches them.

We have 2/3 of the top 3pt shooters in program history. I don’t know how this is even still an argument
