bkf, what's the end game here? Getting better to what extent? Isn't our goal to make the NCAA Tournament AND advance in that tournament? I think we all know that's never gonna happen with this coach. We play away from the Joel and play a reasonably good team, and we get smoked. Every. Damn. Time.LOL. We just have a bunch of sorry-ass fans who are pissed off that we won. It's really rather comical. The team is getting better, while the fans are getting worse.
I suppose that everyone has framed his own goals, so there are probably a lot of different answers when you ask that question. My goal and your goal, for example, are probably two completely different things.
52 fouls called, 80 FTs attempted. In 40 minutes of basketball. Unwatchable.
I suppose that everyone has framed his own goals, so there are probably a lot of different answers when you ask that question. My goal and your goal, for example, are probably two completely different things....but since you explicitly asked me what the end game is, here is what the "end game" is for me:
I want Wake Forest to win as many games as possible....while running a clean program with kids who stay out of trouble, play four years and graduate. I can tolerate an occasional player who leaves after three years...but never any who leave after only one or two years. I wish that Chris Paul, James Johnson, Jeff Teague & Al-Farouq Aminu had never gone to Wake Forest. They mean nothing to me.
And I don't think a player's jersey should ever be retired until he has graduated from the university....no matter what else he has accomplished on or off the court at Wake Forest or elsewhere, or if he has come back and donated $100 million to the school.
I agree that college basketball sucks today...but it's not because there are more fouls being called. It's because the players have long since stopped playing by the goddamned rules of the game. If they played by the rules of the game, there would be no need to call all these fouls....and they are still only calling a small fraction of the rules violations in the games.

It's insufferable. Almost unwatchable.
