Exactly. Further to my point PH, if you happen upon one of the top 25 players of all-time—as has occurred amazingly twice for Wake Forest over the last quarter century—you will certainly win games.
Though clearly something was wrong institutionally (I contend stadium but clearly something). How could one not agree with the premise that something is wrong? On our roster over the last 22 seasons, we have had 8 first round draft picks, some quality coaches, & startlingly 2 of the greatest 25 basketball players of all-time. Half of the top 25 players ever never even played in college. And we have had 2 of the remaining half in just the last 25 years alone? Crazy.
In any event, from that luck, we have managed 1 Sweet 16 & 0 ACC title game appearances over 22 seasons!!
To think a hot coach could change this and make us achieve is not right. Could he improve us with some luck like landing the next Tim Duncan? Of course. But we have major institutional which have stunned our success even when we do get such luck.
We must overhaul the basketball program to get ready for 2025 and beyond. Stadium must be leveled at once.
I would contend we've never had a great coach over the last 25 years. We had two solid coaches who won is two of the best players ever to play the game. And then we had a poor coach who won almost 10 years ago with 4 guys still in the NBA and a few other guys who are still play pro ball. And we followed that up with two of the worst coaches the ACC has ever seen in the last 25 years.
Your response is checkers, half baked checkers. I was rwferring to finding an elite basketball coach to lead the program for the next 15+ years.
You keep bringing it back to a referendum on manning. We should be strategizing on how to hire the next jay wright. Not burn it down and then go from there. That's what companies do. The board needs to first move well man aside before doing anything w manning.
Manning may end up being an okay hire lookingy back I5 years. His squeaky cleanness is an asset
Wellman isn't going anywhere. That's a reality. This idea that he's going to retire any minute is wishful thinking. His job is safe. Firing a bad coach is not burning it all down. Firing a bad coach is the first step to getting the next Jay Wright.
If you have a bad girlfriend, you don't stay with her and strategize how you're going to get a better one. You dump her and move on. You don't think "Man, if I dumb my bad girlfriend, nobody's going to want to go out with me."
