We've all heard the stories about Duncan not being happy with Wake sports marketing, etc. It was no big deal when we were a decent program, but the last eight years have me wondering about basketball alumni involvement at Wake.
When do our basketball alumni start speaking up or demanding something be done to resurrect the program? I know that other alumni in other sports have been heavily involved with coaching decisions, building of facilities, fund raising, etc. Tennis, Soccer, Football, etc are in great shape. Is it different in basketball because, for the most part, it's the team that shares the least culturally with most of the Wake Forest alumni base? Do basketball players not relate back to Wake post-graduation? Was it Skip's death? The rumor machine that attempted to drag down Dino after he was fired? The fact that our most well known basketball alum is a guy that prefers to keep to himself? The tendency of [Redacted] and Wellman to point fingers at players rather than themselves? All of the above?
Are there any basketball alumni that are passionate and involved in our program, besides Chill? Hard for me to believe that there wouldn't be some angry basketball alums at a place like UNC if this bullshit were allowed to go on for 2-3 years, much less 8+.
