Fair. I guess I mean in general, he’s going to bring Wake b-ball back to a time when we could beat anyone in the country. We haven’t been that good in a while. And I agree that we have had flashes but never sustained success. It will be interesting to see if he can cut down nets, because I think that’s his goal. He’s not satisfied with a 25 or 20 win season either. We also haven’t had that in a coach for a long time.Back to what? We need to realize we have never been a bball power.
There was a ton of “Wellman must have (insert Brad Stevens type) lined up to make this decision now,” which made firing Dino seem reasonable until we hired redacted. I legit believed we had some all star coach coming. Also, everyone saying why do we always talk about Wake past is right, but we’re not going to put it in the past until we have something better to discuss. We’re like the Al Bundy fanbase.hindsight being [Redacted] and all, a lot of people were on board with a coaching change because Dino’s teams completely shit themselves at the end of each season and we were expecting Wellman, who had a pretty sterling rep at the time, to hire someone who would actually fix that problem. Instead they blew the whole thing up
We haven't seen yet what Forbes can do with a lot of returning players, so that's something to consider.

Yea, this is my concern too. This arguably is as bad as the ACC has ever been and we still couldn’t make the NIT.overall my biggest concern is this was the year to take advantage of a down ACC, and we couldn't do it. What makes anyone think we can do well in an even decent typical ACC season ?
Think it's an open question if the ACC will get back to decent or if this year is the new normaloverall my biggest concern is this was the year to take advantage of a down ACC, and we couldn't do it. What makes anyone think we can do well in an even decent typical ACC season ?
FIFY
Sorry as my memory is going in my old age as I link CSU game as apparent downfall due to the alleged athlete indiscretions occurint around then (if my memory serves correct which clearly it isn’t always!) but yes I left out back to back ncaa appearances with a 2nd round game in his 2nd year to further strengthen the point.Am I reading this wrong, or do you think Dino got fired after the Cleveland St. game?
