Hang the banner?“Got them to the NCAA bubble”
I genuinely cannot tell if this is parody or truly the most LOWF post I’ve ever seen.

This is fair and irritatingly reasonable, vintage say hey.You must have missed the previous decade when we lost 20 games every year and were the worst program in the league. Getting that team to the precipice of the NCAAT was an enormous step forward. I know we’re all disappointed in how the season just ended and sick of being on the bubble every year now, but no need to scoff at the fact that Forbes has improved the program substantially since he was hired.

He’s definitely brought energy to the program and is winning more games, hard not to love the guy. Having said that college basketball at this level is all about making the tournament. For most, make it and the season was good, miss it and it’s not a good season. These guys make a lot of money. So my question to you would be do you view making the tournament as a realistic goal for Wake basketball and if so when do you expect that to happen?You must have missed the previous decade when we lost 20 games every year and were the worst program in the league.

If iowa comes knocking, great. That means he’s killed it at wake.Forbes' original contract was through the 25-26 season. That contract was extended in 2024. Terms were not disclosed, but it looks like he'll be here through the end of the decade. The only thing that would move the needle on this is for Iowa to fire Fran McCaffery and then come after him. That may well happen.
Unfortunately, I'm not the person employed to make such decisions. For some asinine reason, Wake has entrusted that job to a person who retained Danny Manning for a full season into his tenure for God knows why, and apparently extended the current coach for the phenomenal achievement of getting us to the bubble. Our basketball program is a joke.Write the check, 2&2. Who is on your short list?
Folks might need to be reminded Odom turned a team around that was fairly woeful under Staak in just 2 seasons and he didn’t talk about his team being gritty but he coached his team to be gritty and great Dedensively. And many other examples of great coaches like Bennett who also took a horrific program and made them natty champs. Forbes talks a Good game, but just can’t coach fundamentals nor adjust at all as just rolls ball out and lets them play. He is going to need 3 nba players to have a chance if not 4-5 as he just can’t coach up a team and his teams are anti clutch.“Got them to the NCAA bubble”

It’s actually Pitino’s first season.St John’s will make the tournament in Pitino’s second season, South Carolina will make it in their coaches second season. Wake can either hold itself accountable for big boy ball or just aspire to the bubble each year.
Pretty much.
Have we become like the 80s Deacs who were so burned by the Staak years that 00s mediocrity was acceptable?
fair and irritatingly reasonable, vintage say hey.
The lack of self awareness in this post is breathtaking.RUDeac is a troll account.
Reply accordingly as the mods on this board are obviously more interested in jacking each other off.
Agreed; 3 years in a row or the door.He’s definitely brought energy to the program and is winning more games, hard not to love the guy.
